RESUMO

Recent studies demonstrated the efficacy of mangrove retaining nutrients and, in particular, the ability of the mineral component of the buffer in its high soil phosphorus levels. In general, the mangroves have been considered as important sinks of nutrients due to its high capacity purification of effluents. However, depending on the geochemical conditions exist, these soils can act as a source of phosphorus to other environments and / or coastal waters. Given that the geochemical behavior of phosphorus and its role in eutrophication of water bodies, is best measured by the behavior of its different fractions, this paper aims at a fractionation of the different forms of phosphorus in wetlands impacted by different effluent. The objective of this project is to study three areas in order to assess how activities impacting interfere in the process of nutrient cycling (with special emphasis on the dynamics of phosphorus forms) and, as the marsh supports the stress caused by these activities. Also, if you evaluate the potential for eutrophication of each human activities. Taking into consideration the impact that these environments suffer as a result of separate activities, were established the following areas of study: a marsh impacted by effluents from shrimp, a marsh impacted by effluents, and a control area located in a preserved area that still finds is little affected by human impacts. The samples were determined pH, Eh, salinity, grain size and the total content of C and P. In addition, extraction was performed sequentially phosphorus which allows differentiation of fractions 7: P exchangeable (NaCl-P), P associated with iron oxides (Fe-P); organic P (AH-P), the bound phosphorus hydroxides Al (Al-P), P associated with compounds of calcium (Ca-P); phosphorus associated refracting matter (P-RES) and unreacted phosphorus (P-NR). The results indicate that the discharge of effluents in mangrove increases the amount of phosphorus in these environments, especially in organic form, the phosphorus bound to carbonate is the major inorganic fraction in these environments.
