Comunidade de fungos Agaricomycetes em diferentes sistemas florestais no noroeste do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil: Floresta Estacional Decídua e monocultura de eucalipto

Abstract

-(Agaricomycetes fungi community at different forest systems in the northwest of Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil: seasonal deciduous forest and eucalypt monoculture). Monocultures differ from native forests in relation to plant heterogeneity, variety of substrates, and soil humidity, possibly altering the diversity of organisms, such as the fungi. This study aimed to compare the richness, abundance, and composition of Agaricomycetes fungi in a native forest and in a eucalypt monoculture. The fungi were collected in a seasonal deciduous forest area and in a Eucalyptus grandis monoculture, in the northwest of Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The abundance and richness of fungi were significantly lower in the eucalypt plantation than in the native forest and the species composition differed between the areas. Thus, it was concluded that the eucalypt monoculture negatively affects the Agaricomycetes fungi community. Keywords: Basidiomycota, Eucalyptus grandis, native forest RESUMO -(Comunidade de fungos Agaricomycetes em diferentes sistemas florestais no noroeste do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil: Floresta Estacional Decídua e monocultura de eucalipto). As monoculturas diferem de matas nativas em relação à heterogeneidade vegetal, variedade de substratos e umidade do solo, podendo afetar a diversidade de organismos, tais como os fungos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar a riqueza, abundância e composição de fungos Agaricomycetes em uma mata nativa e em uma monocultura de eucalipto. As coletas dos fungos foram realizadas em uma área de Floresta Estacional Decídua e em uma monocultura de Eucalyptus grandis, no noroeste do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. A abundância e riqueza de fungos na monocultura de eucalipto foram significativamente inferiores às encontradas na mata nativa, assim como a composição de espécies diferiu entre as áreas. Portanto, a monocultura de eucalipto afeta negativamente a comunidade de fungos Agaricomycetes. Palavras-chave: Basidiomycota, Eucalyptus grandis, mata nativa

New Occurrences of Macrofungi (Basidiomycota) in Southern Amazonas, Brazil

“…In general, fungi depend on environmental variables, including rainfall, soil moisture, temperature and variety of existing substrates (LAZAROTTO et al, 2014).…”

Fire Effects on Soil Fungi in a Cerrado Vegetation Area According to the Collection Period

“…During this period it was observed that in some treatments there was variation, with the indexes of richness and diversity, equity and dominance of fungi in the period due to rainfall. The importance of precipitation in studies such as this one is that it is a variable that has a direct influence on the abundance and richness of fungi in native vegetation (LAZAROTTO, 2014).…”
