“…This result is in line with the observations of Li et al (2015) and Mukhopadhyay et al (2014), who only observed a significant effect on the biological quality of the mined soils in China and India after, respectively, 18 and 17 years of revegetation. On the other hand, the Table 1 also shows that the amount of mites was greater than that of the springtails in all treatments in both treatments, i.e.…”

ABSTRACT:The objective of this work was to evaluate a population of mites and springtails and a physical condition of a mined soil revegeted with different species of perennial grasses. The treatments evaluated were: Urochloa brizantha, Hemarthria altissima, Paspalum notatum, Cynodon dactylon and Spontaneous vegetation. For comparative effects a natural soil were used as reference. In 2014, 56 soil samples were collected in the 0.00-0.10 m layer for the determination of the population of mites and springtails, the physical attributes and the organic carbon content. The Hemarthria altissima was the most prominent plant species among perennial grasses, to date, providing an average density of mites and springtails very close to the natural soil. Among the physical attributes, bulk density showed the most sensitive variable the changes promoted by plant species, after 11 years of revegetation.

Os tratamentos avaliados foram: a Urochloa brizantha, a Hemarthria altissima, o Paspalum notatum, o Cynodon dactylon e a vegetação espontânea. Para efeitos comparativos foi utilizado o solo natural como tratamento referência. Em 2014, oram coletadas 56 amostras de solo na camada de 0,00-0,10 m para a determinação da população de ácaros e colêmbolos, dos atributos físicos e do teor de carbono orgânico. A Hemarthria altíssima foi a espécie vegetal que mais se destacou entre as gramíneas perenes, até o presente momento, proporcionando uma densidade média de ácaros e colêmbolos muito próximos aos do solo natural. Entre os atributos físicos, a densidade do solo mostrou-se a variável mais sensível as alterações promovidas pelas espécies vegetais, decorridos 11 anos de revegetação.

“…Thus, a greater understanding of the composition of the whole community (including both dominant and rare taxa) is necessary for identifying both resistant and sensitive organisms in contaminated and disturbed soils. Interactions between bacteria, fungi and plants have been shown to contribute to microbial community stability (Bonfante and Anca, 2009;Bell et al, 2014) and some, although scarce studies have investigated the bacterial and fungal communities that arise in unvegetated environments (Li et al, 2015).…”

“…These processes provide crucial feedback in regulating ecological processes and promote the recovery of the structure and function of degraded ecosystems. Plant restoration is regarded as one of the most effective strategies for the recovery of desertified grassland ecosystems because it directly promotes the establishment and succession of plant communities, thereby significantly improving the physical, chemical, and biological soil properties (Bolling & Walker, 2000;Cao et al, 2008;Zheng et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2015;Hu, Peng, et al, 2016) and accelerating the integral nutrient cycle within an ecosystem (Li, Zhou, Yan, Li, & He, 2015;Zhang et al, 2015).…”

Soil nutrients, enzyme activities, and microbial biomass have important significance for biogeochemical cycles and are affected by vegetation restoration in degradation ecosystems. To explore the effects of replanting different plant species on soil restoration in a desertified alpine meadow on the eastern Tibetan Plateau and to optimize the restoration process with locally appropriate plant species, the soil physicochemical and biochemical properties were measured beneath the plant species Rhodiola kirilowii, Salix cupularis, and Kengyilia rigidula over two periods of vegetative growth (2 years and 5 years). The results showed that all the soil properties significantly improved over the recovery periods (p < .001) and the plant species significantly affected the patterns of soil bulk density, available resources, and biochemical properties (p < .05). However, R. kirilowii improved soil properties most significantly among the three plant species as the recovery time elapsed, and these improvements were strongly related to the greatest fresh vegetation biomass and coverage. Furthermore, R. kirilowii enhanced microbial biomass phosphorus even more, which is an important available phosphorus stock in the soil, and more effectively promoted the development of soil fungi than the two other species. Therefore, we suggest that R. kirilowii is the preferred species of the three to expedite the recovery of desertified alpine soil, and that the appropriate addition of P fertilizer and propelling the development of specific fungi groups in the soil are key to soil restoration in the desertified alpine meadow.
