The original landscape of Campos de Cima da Serra region has changed by anthropogenic interference. The study aimed to evaluate soil chemical and physical attributes of an Oxisol under natural grassland (CN), burned natural grassland (CNq), natural forest (MN), pine afforestation (PF) and annual crops in conventional tillage system (LA), in the 0.00-0.025, 0.025-0.05, 0.05-0.10, 0.10-0.20, 0.20-0.30m layers. The mineralogy was evaluated by X-ray diffraction. It was evaluated the total organic carbon (TOC); pH (H2O); exchangeable Ca, Mg, K, Na and Al; H+Al and P contents; and calculated bases sum (S), cation exchange capacity (CEC) and bases and Al saturation on CEC. It was estimated soil specific surface area (SSA) and maximum phosphorus adsorption capacity (MPAC). The soil showed kaolinitic and oxidic mineralogy. In the CN soil TOC content ranged between 15.3 and 56.4g kg-1, pH values ≤4.8; CEC was high (18<CECpH7<22 cmol c dm-3) with low bases saturation (3<V<34%) and high Al saturation (23<m<88%). Related to CN soil, TOC contents increased in the MN surface was similar for the CNq and decreased for the FP and LA areas. Soil fertility was positively modified in MN and CNQ areas, and reduced under FP, and was conditioned by TOC. The TOC content was positively related to soil ASE and negatively with soil MPAC.
