  abstract = {{T}he objective of this work was to analyze the effect of integrated crop-livestock systems on soil hydraulic properties, and test the potential use of these properties as physical quality indicators of a {C}errado {O}xisol. {T}he field study was conducted at {E}mbrapa {C}errados, {P}lanaltina, {DF}, {B}razil, considering soil layers of: 0-5, 10-15, 20-25 and 40-45 cm. {C}rop-livestock systems caused significant changes in soil bulk density, volumetric soil-water content, soil penetration resistance, total porosity, macroporosity, effective microporosity, unsaturated pores and available water. {A}n increase was observed in both soil resistance and bulk density for all systems in comparison to the cerrado. {H}owever, higher soil resistance did not appear as a limiting factor for annual crops growth in a rotation sequence. {T}otal porosity and macroporosity were higher in the cerrado, and in the systems with no-tillage in relation to conventional tillage. {S}oil penetration resistance, macroporosity, bulk density and available soil-water properties are reliable indicators of the soil physical quality.},
