We must emphasize the dynamics of C in tropical soils, especially Brazilian soils, and of the understanding of the main drivers of C stock in mixed-forest soil. Many researchers believe that one of the legacies of mixed plantations is the increase of soil C stocks, and at the end of this chapter, some of the practices and challenges to overcome obstacles of C storage will be introduced.  aCarbon  aEucalyptus  aForest litter  aNitrogen fixation  aCarbono  aEucalipto  aFixação de Nitrogênio  aLeguminosa  aSerapilheira1 aCESÁRIO, F.
