Agriculture is constantly looking for production alternatives that are both productive and environmentally sustainable. Among these alternatives is the use of an integrated crop-livestock system, however, there are still many gaps in knowledge for the adoption of this system. Due to this demand, we sought to obtain a greater understanding of the changes caused on soil temperature when using integrated systems of grazing animals and farming. The study was conducted at the agronomic station of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Eldorado do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul. The evaluation of soil temperature was performed during the development cycle of the soybean crop, in an area that had pasture with ryegrass, in the period preceding this cultivation. The design consisted of randomized blocks with two treatments, with sheep integration and without sheep integration, using the depths of 5, 10, 20 and 40 cm, being the measurements performed every 10 min throughout the entire soybean cycle. The results showed that the variability in soil temperature throughout the soybean cycle is mainly related to variations in the energy input on the surface (directly proportional), the occurrence of rainfall (inversely proportional) and the density of vegetation cover on the soil (inversely proportional). The system with crop-livestock integration provided higher maximum and minimum soil temperature when compared to soil management without integration.
