In order to improve the knowledge about the carbon balance in the Atlantic Forest biome, the characterization of soil carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is a priority associated to its correlation with environmental variables, and the soil chemistry, physical and biological properties. This study aims to quantify the CO2 emission rates from the soil in two forested areas, stablished over Red Ultisol, located in the morphoclimatic domain of Atlantic Forest, in the municipality of Rio Claro-SP. The CO2 emission rates were correlated to atmospheric variables and physical and chemical parameters of the soil, such as air pressure, air and soil temperature and humidity, soil thermal conductivity, and the C/N ratio. Finally develop a statistical model of multiple linear regression for prediction of soil respiration under these conditions. The study area is located in a sustainable conservation area, the State Forest Edmundo Navarro de Andrade (FEENA). The measurement of CO2 emissions was performed using an infrared gas analyzer (IRGA), Li-840 model of Li-Cor brand, coupled to a dynamic chamber by means of a circulation pump, in two areas under different regeneration levels, located in FEENA: plot 23 was planted in 1916, and plot 15 planted in 2014. To measure the CO2 emissions a portion up to 900 m² were demarcated, and within each study area installed 17 measuring points. The soil CO2 emission in plot 15, during summer 2014, ranged from 0,51 mol CO2 m-2s-1 up 2,59 mol CO2 m-2s-1 (average 1.38 mol CO2 m-2s-1) with a significant positive linear correlation with the thermal conductivity (r=0.56, p<0.0001), the C/N ratio (r=0.28, p<0.05), and with the time (r=0.33, p<0.05). Plot 23 soil respiration range between 0.61 mol CO2 m-2s-1and 3.86 mol CO2 m-2s-1(average 1.91 mol CO2 m-2s-1), presenting a significant linear correlation with soil moisture (r=0.55, p<0.0001) and air humidity (r=0.28, p<0.05). The average emissions, considering...
