Data. Physicochemical characteristics of the soil in silvopastoral systems

Anthropogenic activity has been degrading vegetation cover in order to initiate diverse agricultural and livestock activities. Silvopastoral systems (SPS) are an alternative to reduce the negative effects generated by cattle raising. However, the relationship between trees and soil characteristics is poorly unknown. We evaluated the effect of silvopastoral systems [SPS Bolaina (Guazuma crinite Mart), Teca (Tectona grandis LF), Arboretum, Pucaquiro (Síckingia tínctoría), Quinilla (Manilkara bidentata) and Natural Forest] on the physicochemical characteristics of the soil in a cattle system at the tropical region of Peru. We used a completely randomized design with six treatments, two replications and the experimental units were sampled from 0 to 10 cm and 10 to 20 cm.
