The study was carried out in an urbanized watershed located in the Brazilian subtropical region (Sorocaba Municipality, Sao Paulo). Soil samples were collected considering the land cover category for analysis of physical, chemical and isotopic attributes. The land cover influenced the soils attributes. Soils from wooded and grassed areas presented significant differences, especially for values of C isotopes. Soil bulk density was significantly altered. According to considered land cover mosaic in the study, we estimated 10,241.28 tons of C stored in the thickness 20 cm of the watershed (whole area), and this amount is almost a half of the total potential of C storing in the watershed. We stress that projects of planned land cover should effectively implemented in urbanized regions to effectively contribute in storing more C and improving the soil-related ecosystem services. specialized environmental impact assessment environmental sustainability landscape management BRESIL SAO PAULO ETAT ZONE SUBTROPICALE 068 082 25 4 317-328 2017 1648-6897 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010071975 10.3846/16486897.2017.1296451 1648-6897 [F B010071975] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010071975 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2018/01/010071975.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2018-02-05 2018-02-05 fdi:010071975 fre
