The diversification of plants, as an association between trees and the warm-season grasses, supports soil biodiversity and thus, soil quality. However, based on the prevailing climatic conditions, management techniques employed and because of the several combinations possible in such associations, variations may be observed in this type of response. This study aimed at assessing the microbiological attributes of the soil in two systems (full sunlight, FS, vs. a naturally shaded system composed of Eucalyptus dunnii trees), with two N fertilization levels (zero vs. 300 kg N ha-1year-1) and five perennial warm-season grasses. Soil and root samples were drawn from a depth of 0 to 20 cm when the growing period began. The N fertilization increased the mycorrhizal colonization and the acid phosphatase activity, whereas lowered the soil microbial biomass. A rise in the mycorrhizal colonization and sporulation and C microbial biomass concentration were observed in the soil cultivated with Axonopus catharinensis. The association with trees favored the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities, boosting both colonization and sporulation. However, compared with the FS, the soil microbial biomass and activity of the acid phosphatase enzyme were reduced under the trees. Silvicultural interventions could be intensified to enhance soil quality.
