The substitution of fossil fuel with sugarcane ethanol aiming to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) has recently been debated because of the possible emissions incurred from land use change (LUC). This work was based on GHG inventory from cultivation and LUC of recently established sugarcane plantation in south-central Brazil, with the purpose of estimating the impact of expansion on GHG balance, including emissions and removals due to LUC. Changes in quantity and quality of soil carbon (C) upon conversion of diverse agricultural systems (coffee, citrus, annual crops and pasture) to sugarcane in southern Brazil were also assessed through field experiments. The estimates show that sugarcane cultivation and its expansion during 2006-...
