Biomass and nutrient cycling in pure and mixed stands of native tree species in southeastern Bahia, Brazil

Abstract: SUMMARYThe objective of this paper is to study selected components of the nutrient cycle of pure and mixed stands of native forest species of Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil. Tree diameter, height, above-ground biomass, and nutrient content were determined in 22-year-old stands. Litterfall, litter decomposition, and nutrient concentration were evaluated from August 1994 to July 1995. The following species were studied: Peltogyne angustiflora, Centrolobium robustum, Arapatiella psilophylla, Sclerolobium … Show more

“…The coexistence of different tree species that continuously produce heterogeneous litter in terms of chemical quality and that have different rates of nutrients uptake from soil results in increased soil fertility, compared to the soil fertility of monospecific plantations (Gama-Rodrigues, Barros, & Comerford, 2007). Thus, the authors of the study previously mentioned suggested that more diverse forest ecosystems present complementarity between various tree species, which results in more efficient and balanced nutrient cycling dynamics.…”

“…Além disso, foram usados apenas os dois primeiros componentes, considerados suficientes para explicar os dados e pela facilidade de interpretação de um gráfico em duas dimensões (Gomes et al, 2004;Barreto et al, 2008). Cada fragmento florestal foi considerado um tratamento de efeito fixo (Lugo et al, 1990;Gama-Rodrigues et al, 2007 A partição da biomassa total em lenho, galho, casca e folha foi de 61, 21, 13 e 5 %, respectivamente, no fragmento M1, enquanto no M2, na mesma ordem, foi de 61, 25, 10 e 4 % (Quadro 1). Em fragmento de Mata Atlântica submontano, no Rio de Janeiro, a biomassa de galhos e cascas correspondeu, respectivamente, a 27 e 6 % da biomassa total (Clevelario Júnior, 1996).…”

“…Também, a não exportação de galhos e folhas contribuiria significativamente para a permanência de quantidades consideráveis de nutrientes na área do fragmento, o que diminuiria a depleção do nível de fertilidade dos solos. Esta tem sido a prática recomendada para plantios florestais de eucalipto (Zaia & Gama-Rodrigues, 2004) e de espécies nativas da Mata Atlântica (Gama-Rodrigues et al, 2007). Os fragmentos M1 e M2 apresentaram, respectivamente, 65,9 e 68,4 Mg ha -1 de C na parte aérea (Quadro 6).…”

“…Assim, agroecossistemas acumuladores de matéria orgânica e de baixos insumos, como são os sistemas agroflorestais e florestais (Fontes, 2006;Gama-Rodrigues et al, 2007), seriam capazes de manter adequadamente a disponibilidade de P para as plantas (Gama-Rodrigues et al, 1999;Szott & Melendez, 2001;Lehmann et al, 2001), mediante a mineralização de P orgânico (Grierson et al, 1999;George et al, 2002;Comerford et al, 2006). Além disso, em solos tropicais, o P orgânico pode ser grandemente afetado pelo tipo de cobertura florestal ou agroflorestal, alterando a disponibilidade de P (Szott & Mellendez, 2001;Solomon et al, 2002;Cunha et al, 2007).…”
