  Author(s): Luciano de Souza Maria* and Gustavo Caione
  
  The recovery of soil quality and forest regeneration is of fundamental environmental importance, especially in the Amazon biome. The objective was to evaluate the contribution of soil’s physical and chemical attributes in degraded areas in recovery process with different ages and compared to adjacent degraded areas cultivated with grassland, in the Southern Amazon. For this, was used areas located in the south of the Brazilian Amazon and four different areas were chosen, with 6 years of recovery (APP-6), 3 years (APP-3), degraded (APPD) area and degraded areas cultivated with grassland (DP). With emphasis on the physical variable bulk density soil showed averages of 1.37± 0.052 g cm-3 (APP-6), 1.49± 0.066 g cm-3 (APP-3), 1.55± 0.055 g cm-3 (APPD) and 1.67±0.077 g cm-3 (DP), respectively, and there was a decrease in soil density with longer area recove..
