Initial Growth of Eremanthus incanus (Less.) Less in Soil with Manganese

biochemical attributes and establishment of tree seedlings in soil after urochloa decumbens cultivation in soil with deposition of iron mining residues

“…For this, the use of grasses, characterized by fast growth and good shoot production, such as those of the Urochloa genus, has shown positive results in the initial stages of the rehabilitation of environments related to mining activities (Stumpf et al, 2014;Santos et al, 2016;Pedroso et al, 2018). In addition to grasses, the use of native tree species capable of adapting to the new limiting soil conditions is essential, and some characteristics presented by tree species can be determinant for the success or failure of rehabilitation, such as: being resistant to pests and diseases, ease in acquiring propagules, adaptability, high growth rate, efficiency in absorption and use of nutrients, and tolerance to heavy metals (Accioly et al, 2000, Araújo et al, 2018. Moreover, it has been reported the benefits of the associated soil microbiota with plants to achieve success in revegetation processes (Carneiro et al, 2008;Herzberger et al, 2014;Franchi et al, 2016;Santos et al, 2016;Rangel et al, 2017;Pedroso et al, 2018).…”
