Effects of Natural Atlantic Forest Regeneration on Soil Fauna, Brazil

Abstract: The stage of natural forest regeneration may influence soil fauna. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that there are differences in the structure and composition of the soil fauna communities between areas undergoing less advanced (LAS) and more advanced (MAS) stages of natural regeneration of Seasonal Semideciduous Forest at Pinheiral, RJ. Soil fauna was sampled using pitfall traps, during dry and rainy seasons. Total abundance, abundance of the saprophagous/predator group, mainly Formicidae, and the rel… Show more

“…The remaining eight land uses concentrated in the third cluster, which included pasture (PA), NR, and the other agroforestry systems. It has been proven that the age of the system (Camara et al, 2018), variations in the microclimate caused by absence of a compact canopy (Kamau et al, 2017), the quantity and quality of litter (Oliveira et al, 2018), agricultural practices (Marichal et al, 2014), the use of herbicides (Scoriza et al, 2015), and animal trampling (Morales -Márquez et al, 2018) influence the soil macrofauna. Therefore, we suggest that the unfavorable presence of any of these factors, or Pesq.…”

“…The association pattern of edaphic macrofauna differed among phytophysiognomies (Amazonas et al, 2018;Camara et al, 2018). However, in all the analyzed areas, the individuals of the Formicidae family were the ones that contributed the most to the composition of the groups formed, with a difference in the contribution percentage for each phytophysiognomy.…”

“…The secondary forest functioned as a reference indicating that the management of eucalyptus by girdling is causing positive effects on the edaphic macrofauna. This is due to the heterogeneity in the supply of resources, because the greater the diversity of the plant community, the greater the heterogeneity of the litterfall, which will present more niches to be colonized, resulting in a greater diversity of soil fauna communities (Handa et al, 2014;Rodrigues et al, 2017;Camara et al, 2018;Wu & Wang, 2019;Nunes et al, 2019), suggesting that in the short term there are beneficial effects of management by girdling on the natural regeneration of native vegetation.…”

“…Em um estudo realizado previamente, onde se considerou apenas o controle, constatou-se que os valores de abundância média de Acari e Formicidae (estação chuvosa), além de Entomobryomorpha e da comunidade (estação seca) foram significativamente maiores no P42, na comparação com o P19 (CAMARA; CORREIA; VILLELA, 2012). Maiores valores de abundância de artrópodes do solo também foram encontrados em áreas em estágio mais avançado de regeneração natural de espécies nativas de Mata Atlântica, no município de Pinheiral, estado do Rio de Janeiro, independentemente da estação climática (CAMARA et al, 2018a).…”
