Resumo

The intrinsic soil air permeability (Kair), defined as the capacity of soil pores to conduct air, is an important soil attribute, as it identifies changes in pore spaces. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of initial gauge pressure, permeameter air cylinder volume, and sample volume on the Kair measurement. Samples of an Oxisol were collected at a depth of 0–0.2 layer and stored in a pot. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 4x3x2 factorial scheme, characterized by four different initial gauge pressures (500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 Pa), three different permeameter cylinder volumes (0.008, 0.0124, and 0.031 m3), and two sample volumes (100 and 270 cm3). The assessment was performed under two soil density conditions in pots (1.334 and 1.421 Mg m?3). Kair showed no changes due to the different sample volumes, but a different behavior was observed for the two soil density conditions. Increasing the permeameter air cylinder volume promoted an increase in the Kair estimate. Kair was lower for the initial pressure evaluated with 2000 Pa.
