What influences upland soil chemistry in the Amazon basin, Brazil? Major, minor and trace elements in the upper rhizosphere
Increasing land transformation in the Amazon basin, from forest to post-forest usage such as pastureland, agriculture and agroforestry, triggers significant changes in hydrology, soil fertility and regional climatology. However, relatively little is known about Amazon basin soil chemistry in general...

Increasing land transformation in the Amazon basin, from forest to post-forest usage such as pastureland, agriculture and agroforestry, triggers significant changes in hydrology, soil fertility and regional climatology. However, relatively little is known about Amazon basin soil chemistry in general and about its possible alteration with recent land-use change. We present robust pedogeochemical data for 65 elements and oxides, and evidence for modification due to recent deforestation and post-forest land use on upland soils in Amazonas state, Brazil. Differences emerge in median element concentrations between these two land-cover types, and between central and southern parts of the basin. These new data, a product of the bi-national EcoRespira-Amazon (ERA) project, are based on triplicate sampling under different seasonal conditions at 29 sites, representing ca. 740,000 km2 and average annual meteorological conditions.
