TDR and tensiometers were installed und cupuacu, pupunha (peach palm), castanha-do-Para (Brazil nut), urucu (annatto) in a multi-strata agroforestry system, in Manaus-AM (Brasil). After a heavy storm, soilwater suction decreases within a few minutes up to a depth of a 0.9 m-1.5 m, but significantly later at greater depths. Soil water depletion was highest at the topsoil for urucu and cupuacu, and decreased rapidly with depth. In constrat, pupunha took up water homogeneously from the soil profile to l.5 m depth. Castanha-do-Para was not able to utilize subsoil water as well as it was antecipated from the tap root found from root excavations. The legume cover crop pueraria did not take up soil water at a depth of 0.9 m and belos. Soil water dynamics under pupunha may indicate that this palm is better able to utilize subsoil water (0.9 m-1.5 m) and reduce nutrient leaching than the other investigated tree crops or the cover crop. Especially under the high leaching conditions of the aggregated soils and high rainfall regime, nutrient uptake from the topsoil may not reduce nutrient leaching due to the rapid soil water percolation even to greater depths. aagroforestry aFerralsols aleaching alegumes amultiple cropping asoil conservation asoil water atropical rain forests aÁgua do Solo aBactris Gasipaes aBertholletia Excelsa aBixa Orellana aCastanha do Para aCobertura do Solo aConservação do Solo aCultivo Multiplo aCupuaçu aFísica do Solo aFloresta Tropical Úmida aLatossolo Amarelo aLeguminosa aLixiviação aNutriente aPueraria Phaseoloides aPupunha aRelação Água-Planta aTheobroma Grandiflorum aAgrofloresta aAmazonas aBrasil aCover plants aManaus aNutrient aPlant water relations aSoil chemicophysical properties aUrucu1 aLEHMANN, J. tIn: GERMAN-BRAZILIAN WORKSHOP ON NEOTROPICAL ECOSYSTEMS, 2000, Hamburg.
