Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT In the climate change scenario, studying greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and measures of mitigation in the Caatinga biome are strategic and may provide a basis for mitigation plans. This study aimed to evaluate the soil CO2, CH4 and N2O fluxes, as well as determining an annual baseline for GHG emissions, in a reference site of silvopastoral production system in the Brazilian semiarid region, in order to provide subsidies for future studies on GHG emissions mitigation. The GHG fluxes were monitored over one year, in a buffel grass pasture and in grazed and native Caatinga areas, which are components of a long-term silvopastoral system. The CO2 fluxes ranged from -19.98 to 179.12 mg m-2 h-1 of CO2-C, CH4 fluxes from -76.21 to 113.87 µg m-2 h-1 of CH4-C, N2O fluxes from -1,043.12 to 471.37 µg m-2 h-1 of N2O-N and the soil moisture was the main factor limiting the GHG fluxes. The total emissions converted to CO2-equivalent in the anthropized areas were lower than in the native area (65 % for the buffel grass pasture and 741 % for the grazed Caatinga). Therefore, it is possible to afrm that the GHG soil emissions from grazed areas in the Caatinga biome are not as high as in the native Caatinga, what is an important indication of the environmental sustainability of the evaluated silvopastoral system. RESUMO No cenário das mudanças climáticas, o estudo das emissões de gases do efeito estufa (GEE) e de medidas de mitigação na Caatinga são estratégicos e podem fornecer a base para planos de mitigação. Objetivou-se avaliar os fluxos de CO2, CH4 e N2O do solo, bem como determinar uma linha de base anual para as emissões de GEE, em um sistema de produção silvipastoril de referência no semiárido brasileiro, a fim de fornecer subsídios para estudos futuros de mitigação das emissões de GEE. Os fluxos de GEE foram monitorados durante um ano, em pastagem de capim buffel e em área de Caatinga pastejada e nativa, as quais são componentes de um sistema silvipastoril de longa duração. Os fluxos de CO2 variaram de -19,98 a 179,12 mg m-2 h-1 de C-CO2, os de CH4 de -76,21 a 113,87 µg m-2 h-1 de C-CH4, os de N2O de -1.043,12 a 471,37 µg m-2 h-1 de N-N2O e a umidade do solo foi o principal fator limitante para os fluxos de GEE. As emissões totais convertidas para CO2-equivalente nas áreas antropizadas foram menores que na área de vegetação nativa (65 % para o capim buffel e 741 % para a Caatinga pastejada). Portanto, pode-se afrmar que as emissões de GEE nas áreas pasteja
