  abstract = {{T}he objective of this study was to quantify the soil greenhouse gas ({GHG}) balance after the conversion of native vegetation ({NV}) to pasture and agricultural land and the conversion of agriculture to crop-pasture rotation ({CPR}) by evaluating changes in {C} stocks and {N}2{O} and {CH}4 fluxes. {S}oil sampling was carried out in {M}arch 2007 and {A}pril 2009 and {GHG} fluxes were sampled nine times between {A}pril 2007 and {M}arch 2009. {T}he conversion of {NV} to pasture and agriculture decreased soil {C} stocks, with loss rates ranging from 0.25 to 0.64 {M}g {C} ha(-1) yr(-1), respectively. {T}he implementation of {CPR} in,agriculture areas increased soil {C} stocks by 0.60 {M}g ha(-1) yr(-1). {N}2{O} emissions were higher in {CPR} and lower in {NV}. {E}mission of 1.03 kg {CH}4-{C} ha(-1) yr(-1) was observed in pasture, while in other areas consumption of {CH}4 was observed. {T}he net {GHG} emission from the soil, including all {GHG} expressed in {C}-equivalent, indicated that the conversion of {NV} to pasture and agricultural land results in emissions of 0.54 and 0.72 {M}g {C} ha(-1) yr(-1), respectively. {I}n contrast, the adoption of {CPR} in areas under crop succession was a sink of 0.36 {M}g ha(-1) yr(-1). {A}mong the evaluated land use changes, only the implementation of {CPR} proved to be a good strategy to mitigate soil {GHG} emissions in {B}razilian {C}errado.},
