Different management systems tend to modify soil structure and porosity over the years. The aim of this study was to study modifications in the morphostructure and porosity of dystroferric Red Latosol (Oxisol) under conventional tillage and no-tillage over a 31- year period. The study began with the description of soil profiles based on the cropping profile method, to identify the most compact structures, define sample collection points for physical and chemical analysis, and determine the water retention curve. A forest soil profile was described and used as reference. The results showed that, under conventional tillage, the microaggregate structure of the Oxisol was fragmented between 0 and 0.20 m, and compact (bulk density = 1.52 Mg m-3) in the sub-surface layer between 0.20 and 0.50 m. Under no-tillage, the structure became compacted (bulk density = 1.40 Mg m-3) between 0 and 0.60 m, but contained fissures and biopores. The volume of the class with a pore diameter of > 100 µm under no-tillage was limited, but practically non-existent in the conventional management system. On the other hand, the classes with a pore diameter of < 100 µm were not affected by the type of soil management system. Os diferentes manejos do solo tendem a modificar a sua estrutura e porosidade ao longo dos anos de manejo. Dessa forma, este trabalho teve por objetivo estudar as alterações morfoestruturais e da porosidade de Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico sob preparo convencional e semeadura direta por 31 anos. O estudo baseou-se inicialmente na descrição dos perfis de solo, a partir do método do perfil cultural, para qualificar as estruturas mais compactas e definir os locais de coleta de amostras para as análises físicas e químicas e obtenção da curva de retenção de água. Um perfil de solo sob mata foi descrito e usado como referência. Os resultados permitiram concluir que, no preparo convencional, a estrutura microagregada do Latossolo Vermelho tornou-se fragmentada entre 0 e 0,20 m e compacta (densidade do solo de 1,52 Mg m-3) em subsuperfície, entre 0,20 e 0,50 m. Na semeadura direta, a estrutura tornou-se também compactada (densidade do solo de 1,40 Mg m-3) entre 0 e 0,60 m, porém, com a presença de fissuras e bioporos e a classe de poros com diâmetro > 100 µm, apresentou volume limitado, tendo desaparecido no preparo convencional, enquanto as classes de poros com diâmetro < 100 µm não foram alterados pelo tempo de manejo do solo
