Molecular characterization of soil organic matter from native vegetation-pasture-sugarcane transitions in Brazil

We chose 3 sites in Brazil (1) and collected soil samples in areas undergoing LUC pasture-sugarcane (2) to evaluate SOM composition using Py-GC/MS (3). The LUC causes shifts on SOM signature (4), highlighting the increase of fresh litter compounds in sugarcane areas (5).230
