Abstract

The increase of the concern about development of an agriculture and maintainable livestock, respecting or trying to reduce the effects of the greenhouse effect (GEE) gas has been generating the search for applied technologies in the productive system, as grains or meat. In the case of the soil, these gas come from the soil preparation which provides  organic matter reduction in the soil through  breaking clusters and to increase  oxidation of the organic carbon into CO2. The dynamics of N in the soil  is influenced by the use of nitrogen fixation plants  and by additions of  mineral nitrogenous fertilizers and the methane, that CO2 is rusted by the microbiota in anaerobic conditions. To measure these constants we described in this review, different methods used for carbon quantification in the soil, as imperative tools to supervise the soil conditions  as well as the adoption of a maintainable handling system.
