Intercropping forest plantations of Eucalyptus with nitrogen-fixing trees can increase soil N inputs and stimulate organic matter (OM) cycling. However, microbial indicators their correlation in specific fractions OM are unclear the tropical sandy soils. Here, we examined associated C resulting from pure intercropped grandis Acacia mangium plantations. We hypothesized that introduction A. a plantation promotes changes increases concentrations on labile OM, when compared to eucalyptus...
The importance of organic farming has increased through the years to promote food security allied with minimal harm ecosystem. Besides environmental benefits, a recurring problem associated management is unsatisfactory yield. A possible solution may rely on soil microbiome, which presents crucial role in system. Here, we aimed evaluate bacterial community structure and composition under conventional farming, considering tropical climate soil.Our treatments were composed by composted poultry...
Soil animal communities include more than 40 higher-order taxa, representing over 23% of all described species. These animals have a wide range feeding sources and contribute to several important soil functions ecosystem services. Although many studies assessed macroinvertebrate in Brazil, few them been published journals even fewer made the data openly available for consultation further use. As part ongoing efforts synthesise global macrofauna increase amount openly-accessible GBIF other...
Soil mesofauna consists of small invertebrates that live in the soil or litter and are sensitive to climatic conditions, management systems, plant cover physical chemical attributes. These organisms active cycling nutrients, since they fragment organic matter hereby accelerating microbial decomposition. The aim this study was evaluate invertebrate community no-tillage, conventional tillage, minimum tillage secondary forest regeneration determine relationship litter, attributes, seasonality....
Abstract: Several studies have characterized and delimited subterranean ant assemblages. Soil extraction, one of the methods employed to access this fauna, employs removal monoliths. One most widely used for extraction soil sampling is called TSBF (developed by Tropical Biology Fertility Programme). This method provides relevant data about species associated with soil. In present study we assemblages ants using in different subtropical areas Neotropics. We considered two designs localities....
The soil mesofauna plays a role in organic matter comminution and decomposition, can be used as bioindicators, since they are sensitive to management, vegetation climate changes.Hence, this study aimed evaluate density diversity different land use systems identify faunal relationships with properties, management seasonality.The area included five Ponta Grossa municipality, Paraná State: integrated crop-livestock (ICL), crop-livestock-forestry (ICLF), grazed native pasture (NP), Eucalyptus...
Plant and/or crop growth rely on nutrient dynamics driven by specific soil biota in different environments. This mini-review aims to provide an overview of interactions between organisms, dynamics, and C sequestration. To this end, we investigated published results from three forest plantations (eucalyptus monocultures mixed with N 2 -fixing acacia) tropical nutrient-poor soils. One case study is located Central Africa (Congolese coastal plains) two others South America (Southeastern...
Over 150 species of earthworms are known from the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest, but many more expected to live in this megadiverse biome. In present study, we evaluated earthworm occurrence and diversity native reforested areas four National Forests three states: Três Barras Forest (Santa Catarina), Irati Piraí do Sul (Paraná) Capão Bonito (São Paulo) using formalin hand sorting methods. A total 13 were found, five exotic eight natives (of which new, undescribed species), belonging six...
Abstract Enchytraeids are small oligochaetes found worldwide in soils with sufficient moisture and organic matter, but scarcely studied the Southern hemisphere. This is third study on enchytraeid abundance Brazil using wet extraction first carried out Araucaria Mixed Forest (subtropical region). The sampling were based standard method ISO 23611-3/2007 an adapted split soil corer without heat to assess of enchytraeids a forest fragment at Embrapa Forestry Colombo, Paraná State. samplings...
The analysis of nematode communities allows inferring consequences management practices on the soil food web. We studied taxonomic structure in preserved areas Atlantic forest (native = NF) Ponta Grossa, Paraná State, Brazil, and three different agroecosystems neighboring to assess effect agricultural land use assemblages. Agroecosystems were located a red latosol cropped during 30 years under conventional tillage (CT), no-tillage (NT), minimal (MT). collected ten composite samples each area...
