Conservation management practices, such as no-tillage system (NTS), intend to increase the sustainability of agricultural systems through improvement of chemical, physical and biological soil attributes. This work was developed in private rural systems, explored commercially in Guaira municipality ? Paran? State. Three different areas were evaluated, with NTS adoption time of 7, 14 and 23 years, with succession of soybean (summer) and corn/wheat crops (winter) (NTS7, NTS14 and NTS23, respectively), and an area of Atlantic Forest as reference. The sampling was taken in the dry season (September/2013), after harvesting corn, and in the rainy season (February/2014), after harvesting soybean; to evaluate effect of duration of soil usage and management under the different crops in NTS on edaphic attributes. The hypothesis tested were: a) long duration management systems can change physical, chemical and biological soil properties; b) the crop succession with grass/legumes species (corn/soybean) promotes modifications in the groups of soil macrofauna and, consequently, in the compartments of soil organic matter (SOM); and c) the season of sampling (winter and summer) influences the composition of soil macrofauna and in the SOM compartments. They were analyzed chemical attributes and total organic carbon (TOC) and nutrient stocks (Ca, Mg, K and P), particle size, aggregates stability, bulk and particle densities, actual soil moisture, calculated the total volume of pores, and evaluated the edaphic macrofauna, at the depths of 0-0.1, 0.1-0.2 and 0.2-0.3 m. The morphological types of aggregates were identified, establishing three groups: physiogenic, intermediates and biogenic. For the different groups it was measured the relative composition, TOC, and physical and chemical fractionation of organic matter. In general, the variation in chemical properties were related to NTS time and the sampling season, which also reflects the soil coverage. Soybean and corn/wheat succession contributed to increase contents and stocks of carbon, Ca and P in the different NTS chronosequences. Although there was no significant difference between the areas, the increasing bulk density values observed with depth in the NTS23 area, with longer system adoption, indicate compacted layers that should be monitored. The highest density and total richness of macrofauna individuals were found in the NTS14 and NTS23 areas under corn residues, but there were not observed higher indexes of equability, due to dominance of Formicidae and Isoptera groups. The areas with the highest equability values were the reference, in the dry season, and NTS23 in the rainy season, with values to 0.87 and 0.61, respectively. The biogenic aggregates were found in larger proportion in the reference area, while the physiogenics and intermediate predominated in the managed areas. The TOC contents were higher in biogenic aggregates, as well as organic carbon associated with minerals (OCam). The humin fraction showed no significant differences in the dry season, while in the rainy season the humin content was higher in physiogenic aggregates. This result indicates that biogenic aggregates of the dry season change into the physiogenic aggregates found in the rainy season. / Gerenciar adequadamente os recursos ambientais e simultaneamente produzir de forma sustent?vel ? um grande desafio. Pr?ticas de manejo conservacionistas, como o sistema plantio direto (SPD), visam aumentar a sustentabilidade dos sistemas agr?colas atrav?s da melhoria dos atributos qu?micos, f?sicos e biol?gicos do solo. O trabalho foi desenvolvido em sistemas agr?colas particulares, explorados comercialmente no munic?pio de Gua?ra ? PR. Foram avaliadas tr?s ?reas com diferentes tempos de ado??o do SPD, por 7, 14 e 23 anos sob sucess?o das culturas soja (ver?o) e milho/trigo (inverno) (SPD7, SPD14 e SPD23 respectivamente), e uma ?rea de Floresta Atl?ntica como refer?ncia. As amostragens foram feitas no inverno ap?s a colheita das culturas de milho (setembro/2013), e no ver?o, ap?s a colheita de soja (fevereiro/2014). O objetivo foi avaliar o efeito do tempo de uso e manejo do solo sob diferentes coberturas em SPD sobre os atributos ed?ficos. As hip?teses testadas foram: a) sistemas de manejo de longa dura??o podem alterar caracter?sticas f?sicas, qu?micas e biol?gicas dos solos; b) a sucess?o de culturas com esp?cies de gram?neas/leguminosas (milho/soja) promove modifica??es nos grupos da macrofauna do solo e, desta forma, nos compartimentos da MOS; e c) a ?poca de avalia??o (inverno e ver?o) influencia na composi??o da macrofauna do solo e nos compartimentos da MOS. Foram analisados: atributos qu?micos e estoques de carbono org?nico total (COT) e de nutrientes (Ca, Mg, K e P), an?lise granulom?trica, estabilidade de agregados, densidade do solo (Ds) e da part?cula (Dp), umidade atual do solo, calculado o volume total de poros, e avaliada a macrofauna ed?fica, nas profundidades de 0-0,1, 0,1-0,2 e 0,2-0,3 m. Foram identificados os tipos morfol?gicos de agregados, nos tr?s grupos: fisiog?nicos, intermedi?rios e biog?nicos. Para os diferentes grupos, foi medida a composi??o relativa, COT, e fracionamento qu?mico e f?sico ou granulom?trico da mat?ria org?nica. De modo geral, a varia??o nos atributos qu?micos se relacionou com o tempo de implanta??o do SPD e a ?poca de amostragem, que tamb?m refletiu a cobertura do solo. A sucess?o soja, milho/trigo contribuiu no aumento dos teores e estoques de carbono, Ca e P nos diferentes tempos de implanta??o do SPD. Embora sem diferen?a significativa entre as ?reas, os valores de Ds em profundidade na ?rea SPD23, com maior tempo de ado??o, indicam camadas compactadas, que devem ser monitoradas. A maior densidade e riqueza total de indiv?duos da macrofauna foram encontradas nas ?reas SPD14 e SPD23 sob a palhada do milho; por?m n?o foram observados maiores ?ndices de equabilidade, pelo dom?nio dos grupos Formicidae e Isoptera. As ?reas com maiores valores de equabilidade foram a de refer?ncia, no inverno, e a de SPD23 no ver?o, com 0,87 e 0,61, respectivamente. A maior propor??o de agregados biog?nicos foi na ?rea de refer?ncia; j? os fisiog?nicos e intermedi?rios predominaram nas ?reas manejadas. Os teores de COT foram maiores nos agregados biog?nicos, assim como o carbono org?nico associado aos minerais (COam). A fra??o humina n?o apresentou diferen?a significativa na coleta de inverno; no ver?o, a humina foi maior nos agregados fisiog?nicos. Esse resultado indica que os agregados biog?nicos do inverno originaram os agregados fisiog?nicos encontrados no ver?o.
