The aim of this study is to evaluate the stability, morphology and roughness of aggregates as indicators of soils quality in soils with different management practice (reserve, grassland, cultivated and forested). The results show the higher stability of aggregates in soils of reserve, grassland and eucalyptus plantation. We observed three aggregates morphologies in all the soils analyzed. The surface of the aggregates in cultivated soils were less rough than the rest of the soils. The parameters analyzed are good indicators of soil quality because they are sensitive to changes generated by management practice.
