Geometric parameters associated with the soil pore system of the secondary forest (F) and the three management practices (conventional tillage—CT, minimum tillage—MT, and no tillage—NT) submitted to 0 and 12 wetting and drying (W-D) cycles.

DA—Degree of anisotropy; C—Pore connectivity; τ—Pore tortuosity. Results followed by different Greek letters differed statistically from each other by ANOVA and Tukey’s test (p < 0.05). Comparisons were made within each management considering W-D cycles.
