A serapilheira depositada sobre a superfície do solo apresenta quantidades significativas de nutrientes, que podem ser reciclados pela decomposição microbiana, principalmente pelos fungos do solo. Sabendo-se da dependência entre a produtividade do sítio, a ciclagem de nutrientes e o processo de decomposição da serapilheira acumulada, o conhecimento da micobiota responsável pela decomposição é o caminho adequado...
Knowing of the dependence between local area productivity, nutrient cycling and litter decomposition process, the knowledge of the mycobiota responsible for decomposition is the right way to obtain answers about forest’s productivity and nutrient’s demand. This study determined the fungal diversity during litter decomposition of needle of Pinus taeda in an experimental plantation with four years old, located at...
A literature review was performed to discuss the fungal decomposition of needle pines and impacts on commercial forest production and sustainability. Aspects as organic matter and litter degradation, associated micobiota, and factors that condition this process are discussed. Needles are principal components of residues in pine forests and their decomposition by fungi is important to nutrient turnover. Nutrient...
