Soil macrofauna density and diversity across a chronosequence of tropical forest restoration in Southeastern Brazil

Abstract: Edaphic macrofauna must be better studied if we want to take advantage of their full potential for the restoration of tropical ecosystems. We investigated changes in edaphic macrofauna density and diversity along a secondary succession chronosequence in the Atlantic Forest. Our results show some clear patterns of change in soil macrofauna along the chronosequence. Density did not increase along secondary succession, but was correlated with canopy cover. Diversity was characterized by high dominance of social i… Show more

“…The climate is Cwa in the Köppen classification, with a rainy and hot summer, and a dry winter. The vegetation type in the region is the Seasonal Semideciduous Forest, a closed-canopy forest in the Atlantic Forest with abundant deciduous and semi-deciduous trees and shrubs, which lose their leaves during the driest months (April to August) (Amazonas et al, 2017). Sugarcane, corn and soybean crops, eucalyptus plantations, and forest restoration sites surround the K. ivorensis plantation, which was done in April 2013.…”

“…Bulk density, pH, moisture content, available phosphorus, available potassium, total nitrogen, and electrical conductivity were determined using core sampling (in gm/cm 3 Accordingly, organic carbon stock inventory in mineral or organic soil was determined after measuring the depth, bulk density (calculated using core sampling method in gm/cm 3 ), and the concentrations of organic carbon within the sample (Pearson et al, 2005). A 100 g of composite subsamples was taken at each corner and at the center for the determination of soil organic carbon using soil auger, whereas the core sample was used for bulk density determination.…”

“…la temperatura del suelo para un óptimo desenvolvimiento larval y actividad de forrajeo de las obreras y también a la disponibilidad del recurso alimentario (Teixeira 2007). Igualmente, Amazonas et al (2018) revelan la superioridad de los insectos sociales de termitas y hormigas durante el período seco con respecto al período húmedo, en los ecosistemas de bosques. La alta diversidad apreciada en Helechal (H'= 2,57) y Vallecito (H'= 2,72) (figura 2), es comúnmente alcanzada en escenarios con características semejantes, debido a la elevada cantidad de hojarasca y la materia orgánica almacenadas en ellos.…”

“…No obstante, dicho patrón puede variar dentro del período lluvioso según las características del ecosistema y el tipo de suelo, que propician condiciones de exceso de agua; ante las cuales las comunidades edáficas disminuyen ya que salen a la superficie o migran a estratos profundos del suelo, en busca de micro-ambientes más apropiados para su establecimiento (Herrera et al 1988). En una investigación realizada en bosques tropicales de diferentes edades en Brasil durante la época de seca, se encuentra una alta densidad de la macrofauna del suelo, mediada por el alto número de insectos sociales recolectados; resultados que se refieren coincidentes con otros obtenidos durante el período seco con respecto al período húmedo (Amazonas et al 2018).…”
