“…And water promotes higher availability of chemical nutrients in soil solution which favors plant growth, and organic matter inputs to soil which favors detritivorous soil mesofauna [21]. The results in this study agree with Manhães et al [22] who found variations due to the seasonality in the population of microbial grazers, micropredators and herbivores in the dry season. Marchão et al [23] reported that the soil fauna in ICL areas in the Brazilian Cerrado had high abundance of Coleoptera, Oligochaeta and Diplopoda in NT fields with large amounts of litter.…”

Abstract:The soil mesofauna plays a role in organic matter comminution and decomposition, and can be used as bioindicators, since they are sensitive to soil management, vegetation and climate changes. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate mesofauna density and diversity in different land use systems to identify faunal relationships with soil properties, management and seasonality. The study area included five land use systems in Ponta Grossa municipality, Paraná State: integrated crop-livestock (ICL), integrated crop-livestock-forestry (ICLF), grazed native pasture (NP), Eucalyptus dunnii plantation (EU) and no-tillage (NT) cropping systems. In each system, eight soil samples for mesofauna were collected with Berlese funnels of 8 cm diameter along a transect in three replicate plots of 50 m × 100 m. For physical and chemical analysis, soil was sampled at five points per plot in two seasons: winter 2012 and autumn 2013. Data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan's test (P < 0.05), nonparametric statistics (when necessary) and redundancy analysis (RDA). Diversity was calculated based on the group richness and Simpson index. The main mesofauna groups found were: Acarina, Collembola and Hymenoptera. Diplopoda, Enchytraeidae, Isopoda, Collembola, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera and Coleoptera larvae were more abundant in autumn than winter. Soil moisture was the main factor responsible for higher mesofauna abundance in autumn. Integrated production systems, especially ICLF had similar invertebrate community abundance and composition with EU, while NT favored Oribatid mites, although the use of insecticides, herbicides and fungicides reduced total mesofauna density. Most correlations between mesofauna and physical-chemical attributes in the winter were not observed in the autumn and vice versa, revealing that there are more factors involved in regulating soil mesofauna distribution.

“…Manhães et al (2013), avaliando a fauna do solo em plantios de leguminosas arbóreas sobre pastagem também não encontrou diferenças na densidade de indivíduos associados à serapilheira entre as épocas seca e úmida do ano, porém verificou diferenças entre os locais avaliados. Essa ausência de diferenças pode estar associada ao grande domínio do grupo formicidae que, na época seca, chegou a representar 82% do número de indivíduos da fauna do solo.…”

“…A relação entre densidade de indivíduos e riqueza de grupos expressa por esses índices evidencia que na época úmida as áreas estavam representadas por uma comunidade mais diversa, na 2017; 24: e00085714 qual os grupos ocorreram de forma mais representativa e melhor distribuída, embora isso não signifique uma maior abundância total. Segundo Manhães et al (2013), variações sazonais influenciam a ocorrência de grupos da fauna do solo, principalmente predadores e herbívoros, o que afeta a diversidade e equitabilidade da comunidade. Na área de floresta foi observado um maior valor de riqueza total de grupos da fauna para as duas épocas.…”

RESUMOO trabalho foi desenvolvido em uma área de pasto abandonada revegetada com leguminosas arbóreas. Localizada no município de Valença, RJ, nela foram utilizadas diferentes proporções de leguminosas arbóreas fixadoras de nitrogênio: 0% (0L), 25% (25L), 50% (50L) e 75% (75L). Para avaliação da macrofauna do solo, as amostragens foram feitas nas épocas seca e úmida, utilizando-se o método TSBF. Outras amostragens foram realizadas, ainda, em uma floresta secundária (FS) e em duas áreas de pasto (PA e PB). O processo de revegetação aumentou a diversidade da fauna do solo de uma forma geral. Formicidae foi o grupo da macrofauna de maior abundância em todas as áreas, para as duas épocas de avaliação. Na época chuvosa, houve aumento considerável na quantidade de invertebrados na camada serapilheira nos tratamentos 0L, 25L, 50L, 75L e Floresta Secundária, o que no período seco aconteceu na camada 0-10 cm.Palavras-chave: invertebrados do solo, indicadores biológicos, qualidade do solo. Soil Macrofauna as Indicators in Tree Legume Revegetation ABSTRACTThe study was conducted in an area of abandoned pasture located in the city of Valença (RJ) revegetated with tree legumes. Different proportions of nitrogen-fixing leguminous trees were used: 0% (0L), 25% (25L), 50% (50L) and 75% (75L). For evaluation of soil biota, samplings were made in the end of the dry season and in the rainy season. Samples were collected in the abandoned pasture, in a secondary forest, and in two grassland areas (PA and PB). The process of reforestation has increased the overall diversity of soil fauna. Formicidae was the group that stood out, being abundant in all treatments and in the two periods of collection. During the rainy season, a considerable increase in the amount of invertebrates in the litter layer was observed in the treatments 0L, 25L, 50L, 75L and in the secondary forest, while during the dry season, such increase occurred in the 0-10 cm layer.

“…El Índice de Shannon mostró que el efecto de la época en la macrofauna del suelo es evidente en todos los arreglos, con valores más altos en la época de máxima precipitación, coincidiendo con lo reportado por Manhães et al (2013). A pesar de la drástica reducción de este índice en la época de mínima precipitación, el arreglo AB conserva una mayor diversidad, lo que puede estar relacionado con su nivel de complejidad (Barros et al, 2002).…”

ResumenLa densidad, riqueza y diversidad de la macrofauna edáfica son afectadas, entre otros factores, por la configuración de los agroecosistemas y la estacionalidad de la precipitación. Con el fin de evaluar estos efectos en mayo y noviembre de 2011, correspondientes a épocas de máxima y mínima precipitación, respectivamente, se realizaron estudios sobre la composición de la macrofauna edáfica asociada con los arreglos agroforestales ubicados en el Centro de Investigaciones Macagual Cesar Augusto Estrada González, Amazonia, Caquetá, Colombia. El experimento se dispuso en un diseño completo al azar bifactorial con cuatro tratamientos (arreglos agroforestales: AB = abarco -Cariniana pyriformis Miers; CH = caucho Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex A. Juss.) Müll. Arg. ; CP = caucho-parica Schizolobium amazonicum Huber; UV = uvito Genipa Americana L.) y dos épocas (máxima y míni-ma precipitación), y cuatro repeticiones en parcelas divididas. Para explorar las relaciones entre los órdenes de macrofauna, se realizó un análisis de componentes principales y se evalúo el efecto de los arreglos agroforestales con una prueba de Monte Carlo. Los resultados mostraron que la densidad de la macrofauna fue mayor en el periodo de máxima precipitación (1129 individuos) en comparación con el de mínima (598 individuos). Los arreglos agroforestales influyen sobre la presencia o ausencia de algunos grupos taxonómicos (P < 0.05) como Homoptera (Insecta) y Raphidioptera (Insecta); además los UV y AB pueden favorecer a la macrofauna del estrés por sequía.Palabras claves: Edafofauna, fauna del suelo, arreglo agroforestal, época, densidad, riqueza, diversidad, Amazonía. AbstractThe density, richness and diversity of soil macrofauna are influenced by diverse factors such as the configuration of agroecosystems, seasonality, among others. In order to assess this influence, sampling was conducted in May and November 2011, corresponding to the periods of maximum and minimum rainfall respectively on the composition of soil macrofauna associated with agroforestal arragements located in the Research Centre Macagual Cesar Augusto Estrada González property of the University of Amazonia, Colombia. The experiment was conducted under a complete randomized bifactorial design with 4 treatments (agroforestry system) and 2 periods (maximum and minimum precipitation), with 4 replicates in split plots. Principal component analysis was performed to explore the relationships between the orders and the effect of the agroforestal arrangements, which was tested with a test of Monte Carlo. The results showed that the density of the macrofauna was higher in the period of maximum pluvial precipitation compared to the minimum (1129 vs 598 subjects, respectively). The agroforestal arrangements influences the presence or absence of some taxonomic groups of soil macrofauna (P<0.05) as Homoptera and Raphidioptera, besides than UV and AB can favor the macrofauna of the stress due to the drought.
