             abstract = "The deforestation and the subsequent land use change may result in 
                         significant alterations in the energy and water balances in the 
                         soilvegetation- atmosphere continuum. The soil thermal properties, 
                         that is, the diffusivity, the conductivity and the volumetric heat 
                         capacity, specially as a function of the water content, are 
                         currently not readily available. Notwithstanding, the demand for 
                         these data is increasing due to requirements in, e. g., coupled 
                         models of heat and moisture transport in the soil near its 
                         surface, which are part of numerical weather and climate models. 
                         Thus, measured soil moisture content at the 30cm depth and 
                         temperature profiles at the 5, 20 and 50 cm depths were used to 
                         obtain thermal soil properties at four different sites in the 
                         state of Par{\'a}, Eastern Amazonia, during the wet season of 
                         2002: (i)forest (Caxiun{\~a} Reserve, Melga{\c{c}}o - 
                         01ø42'30''S; 51ø31'45'' W); (ii)pasture (Soure, Maraj{\'o} Island 
                         - 00ø43'25''S; 48ø30'29'' W); (iii)natural mangrove (Tracuateua, 
                         Bragan{\c{c}}a - 00ø50'31''S; 6ø38'56''W); and (iv)degraded 
                         mangrove (Tracuateua, Bragan{\c{c}}a - 00ø55'31''S; 46ø42'13''W 
                         ). The thermal diffusivity is obtained through the numerical 
                         method described by Alval{\'a} et al. (1996).The impact of 
                         changing moisture conditions on the thermal soil properties is 
                         also investigated. Reference: Alval{\'a}, R.C.S.; Gielow, R.;
