ABSTRACT Studies on spatial variability of soil attributes of tropical pastures gather information that can assist in decision making about managements of these soils. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the spatial variability of soil chemical attributes and their effects on grass yield of Tifton 85. The experiment was carried out in an area of 3.91 ha at the Feno Rio Farm of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro, Seropédica, RJ, Brazil. Soils of the 0-0.20 and 0.20-0.40 m layers were sampled considering an irregular sampling mesh, making a total of 50 georeferenced points. The parameters evaluated were: the soil chemical attributes pH, Al+3, Ca+2, Mg+2, Na+, K+, P, H+Al, and total organic carbon (TOC); and the Tifton 85 dry matter yield (DMY). The results of these parameters were subjected to descriptive statistics, linear correlation, and geostatistics, and maps were developed for the analyses. Regions with grass yields different from the general mean were found in the area, which presented mean grass yield of 2248 kg ha-1. The soil chemical parameters Na+, Ca+2, TOC, and H+Al were significantly correlated with DMY, confirming that they are important and affect the Tifton 85 grass yield. The mapping of the Tifton 85 cycle is important for understanding the variability of DMY. The investigation of areas with different productive potentials should be followed by development of maps of soil chemical attributes to correlate and understand the ratios that may be involved with these variations.

Hungary has outstanding environment for natural truffle production in some regions including plain and hilly areas. The most famous of all the natural summer truffle (<em>Tuber aestivum</em> Vittad.) habitats is the commonly called Jászság region. This area is situated in the middle of Hungary, between river Danube and Tisza. The flatland area is basically covered by river alluviums with main soils of chernozems, fluvisols, solonchaks and arenosols. Climate of the region is typically continental: warm and dry summers and cold winters vary. The area is traditionally of agricultural use, although strong afforestation was made in the late 1950’s. The English oak (<em>Quercus robur</em> L.) populations planted at that time gave a basis for current excellent truffle production. Nowadays the region has proved to be the best natural summer truffle (<em>T. aestivum</em>) producing area of Hungary with early season opening (June) and high quality truffles as early as August. In the research the best truffle producing forest blocks were selected for ecological investigation. Results of the detailed site description showed uniform climate characteristics and dominance of English oak (<em>Q. robur</em>) or mixed English oak-Turkey oak (<em>Quercus cerris</em> L.) forests. Soil types revealed differences from earlier findings: dominance of gleysols and water affected chernozems was declared. Soil chemical parameters are in accordance with literature data: pH, organic matter and active carbonate content of the examined soils fall within the range indicated as the requirement of <em>T. aestivum</em>.
