Biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial ecosystems of the Caatinga Biome

Abstract: The biogeochemical cycles of C, N, P and water, the impacts of land use in the stocks and flows of these elements and how they can affect the structure and functioning of Caatinga were reviewed. About half of this biome is still covered by native secondary vegetation. Soils are deficient in nutrients, especially N and P. Average concentrations of total soil P and C in the top layer (0-20 cm) and 21 to 26 kg N ha -1 year -1 in mature and secondary Caatinga, respectively. The main processes responsible for nut… Show more

“…, considerando-se que 58% da matéria orgânica é carbono, o valor médio seria de 15,9 g kg -1 (MO); assim, o resultado apresentado na Tabela 2 é aquém do sugerido pela literatura referência e Menezes et al (2012b), o que é justificável em função da não reposição de nutrientes (baixo uso de estercos na área) e manejos pouco conservacionistas empregados por alguns agricultores como cultivo intensivo, não adoção do pousio e abertura de áreas de capoeira. Na Tabela 3 estão apresentados a média, o desvio padrão, o nível crítico e os índices da literatura de referência para as áreas que foram cultivadas com feijão caupi.…”

“…Caatinga is an exclusively Brazilian Biome, located in Northeast Brazil, with about one million square kilometers, mostly overlapping with semiarid region, inhabited by approximately 23 million people [26,27]. Soils are a rich environment for microorganisms and their characteristics affect directly microbiota [28].…”

“…Soils are a rich environment for microorganisms and their characteristics affect directly microbiota [28]. The microbial diversity of Caatinga soils is still poorly studied, but this biome has severe climate conditions, such as high temperature, high UV exposure and long periods of drought which promote the presence of microorganisms with distinct taxonomic and functional composition in relation to other biomes [26,28].…”
