RESUMO

In present study we evaluate the fertility variation in superficial layer of the soil in areas with primary Atlantic Forest cover, initial and late successions stages placed in Serra do Mar and Serra da Mantiqueira and pasture areas with aims to quantify the levels of degradation and recuperation through environmental chemical impacts in soil indicators. The nutrients available were studied on superficial layers in function of organic matter cyclage, correlating with different kinds of plant cover. Samples were randomly collected in five points per fragments getting the soil in layers with 0-20 and 20-40 cm of deepness, after litter removal. Chemicals attributes related to nutrients available were analyzed by MO%, C%, N%, K, Ca, Mg, H, Al, P indicators and fertility indexes pH, SB, T, V% and m%. To comparative study of litter variation we collected randomly five samples in forestals fragments, taken off the organic matter in a place with 1m2 from points previously chosen. The analysis showed that litter production from primary forest was 41.48% superior to late secondary forest and 62.45% than initial secondary forest. Organic matter data in layer 0-20 cm from primary forest was 14.23% superior to late forest and 25.18% than initial forest. Macronutrients in 0-40 cm layer is classified high to medium to primary forest cover and medium to low for the fragments of late and initial secondary forest and pastures. The percentage analyses shows that the most nutrients fond in primary forest cover in relationship to others cover was initialing calcium, fallowed to potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus. Magnesium showed less variation. The nutritional balance state of the soil, demonstrate that primary forest cover shows the best conditions of nutrients available to plant growing, characterizing an ecosystem in equilibrium with nutrients returns to soil through cyclage process.
