Soil Fauna as Bioindicator of Recovery of Degraded Areas in the Caatinga Biome

Abstract: -Information on the recovering of areas of gravel extraction of the Caatinga biome are scarce. Thus, the objective of this work was to assess the soil fauna as bioindicator of soil quality, evaluating areas with addition of topsoil (WAT) and control areas (CWT) without the addition of topsoil used for forest plantations, which were implemented for recovering gravel extraction areas. A native forest of the Caatinga biome (NFC) was taken as a reference. Ten traps with three replicates were installed in each area… Show more

“…The predominance of Formicidae and Collembola in the soil fauna community has been reported in different ecosystems, independently of the climatic season, in studies in which the animals are captured by means of pitfall traps (Alves et al, 2008;Fernandes et al, 2011;Camara et al, 2012;Lima et al, 2017). This pattern occurs due to the high abundance and diversity of these groups, in addition to the fact that such methodology favors the capture of organisms that present high activity/movement at the litter-soil interface, as in the case of ants and springtails (Sabu et al, 2011).…”

“…Such practice can be made through assessments of the soil fauna community. This is based on the fact that this community, which is closely associated with the processes of decomposition and nutrient cycling, undergoes changes in its structure and composition due to changes that occur in the input of resources and microclimatic conditions, as an impact of disorders, different types of soil management (Baretta et al, 2010) and soil recovery practices (Lima et al, 2017). In this way, studies of this nature may indicate taxonomic groups that would act as potential bioindicators of the global evaluation of the soil biological quality and the ecosystem functioning.…”

“…A redução da diversidade de espécies ou alteração na estrutura da comunidade destes organismos pode representar indicativos de degradação do solo, pois a fauna edáfica reflete rapidamente alterações na vegetação e nas práticas de manejo adotadas no solo (Lima et al, 2017;Martins et al, 2017). A sensibilidade destes organismos, associada ao diâmetro e facilidade de solo, faz com que fauna seja alvo de muitos estudos voltados a compreender a dinâmica de áreas perturbadas (Silva et al, 2012;Oliveira Filho et al, 2014).…”

“…A análise dos atributos do solo tem sido amplamente utilizada em estudos que buscam avaliar a condição ambiental ou a saúde do solo (Yada et al, 2015;Lima et al, 2017;Freitas et al, 2017), sendo descritos na forma de indicadores de qualidade, os quais se tratam de propriedades mensuráveis que indicam a capacidade do solo de sustentar e promover a qualidade ambiental (Lisboa et al, 2016;Stumpf et al, 2016).…”

“…As possíveis alterações observadas na abundância dos grupos taxonômicos como resposta à RS também foram avaliadas por meio do cálculo do índice V ou índice de modificação (WARDLE; PARKINSON, 1991). Este índice indica o grau de distúrbio ou estabilidade da abundância dos grupos de artrópodes, como resposta ao tratamento ou condição ambiental testada (CUNHA NETO et al, 2012;LIMA et al, 2017). Para tanto, empregou-se a seguinte equação:…”
