Decomposition of Leaf Litter in Semideciduous Submontane Forest, in The Southern State of Espírito Santo

Abstract: The objective of this work was to understand the relationship between decomposition of leaf litter and climatic elements and determine the mineralization of nutrients in the decomposition process in a fragment of Semideciduous Submontane Forest, located in southern state of of Espírito Santo. Overall, 84 litterbags were deposited in 12 permanent plots, collecting one litterbag per plot for 30, 60, 90, 150, 210, 270 and 360 days after the beginning of the experiment. The leaf material remaining in the litterbag… Show more

“…It should be noted that the compared lower value of k may also be related to the composition of the material placed in the litter bags, since the bags were composed of mixed fractions branches (less than 2 cm), flowers, seeds, fruits and leaves. Several studies conducted in Brazil refer only to the decomposition of leaf fraction and not the total litterfall, likely to decompose faster (VARJABEDIAN, 1988;YEONG et al, 2016;GOMES JÚNIOR et al, 2019).…”

“…A fim de recuperar áreas degradadas e facilitar o processo de regeneração florestal, devem ser plantadas espécies de rápido crescimento e que possibilitem melhorias na fertilidade do solo, por meio da deposição de material orgânico e ciclagem de nutrientes, promovendo um efeito catalítico no processo de recuperação (Caldeira et al 2019). Nesse sentido, as espécies leguminosas (Fabaceae) apresentam papel de destaque para a inserção em ambientes com pouca ou nenhuma resiliência, devido à alta deposição de serapilheira e, principalmente, pela fixação biológica de nitrogênio atmosférico (Chaer et al 2011;Longo et al 2011).…”

Estudos mostraram que a introdução de leguminosas em áreas de pastagem degradada melhora a qualidade química da serapilheira e aumenta o retorno de biomassa e nitrogênio para o solo (Freitas et al 2013;Silva et al 2013), consequentemente aumentando a taxa de decomposição do material (Gomes Júnior et al 2019).…”
