Resumo: |
We performed this study in a fragment of Caatinga under anthropic influence in the county of Poço Verde, Sergipe state, Brazil, with the following objectives: (i) to assess the temporal dynamics of the structure, floristic composition, and ecological groups of woody vegetation after four years with the hypothesis of reducing of the floristic and structural complexity with return of succession stage; (ii) to quantify the stocks aboveground of biomass and carbon, to assess the temporal dynamics of these stocks after four years, and to analyze the relationship of biomass with abundance and richness, all these in the woody vegetation, with the hypothesis of temporal reduction of stocks and positive correlations between biomassabundance and biomass-richness; and (iii) to analyze the structure, floristic composition, and stocks of biomass and carbon of herbaceous vegetation, seeking to relate the results to the anthropic pressure of fragment. Compared with a previous study (2011 - t0), the current data (2015 - t1) were obtained from 30 plots of 20 x 20 m, measuring individuals with circumference at breast height ≥ 6 cm. The species were classified according to ecological group through a subjective criterion, the biomass was estimated using allometric equations and the carbon stock with the following relationship: carbonstock = biomass*0.47. Significant temporal differences were tested (α<0.05) for richness, density, basal area and biomass stock (paired t test), for value of importance and ecological groups (x² of McNemar), and for Shannon-Wiener diversity - H' (t test of Hutcheson). The relationship of biomass with the abundance and richness were assessed by regression analysis. For herbaceous vegetation were used 30 subplots of 1 x 1 m within the plots of 20 x 20 m. The floristic composition was complemented around these subplots and biomass estimated by collecting and weighing the plants present in the subplots and then multiplied by 0.47 to estimate the carbon stock. We showed an increase of density (0.79%) and basal area (4.82%). The biomass stock was estimated at 52.79 t.ha-1 at t0 and 54.93 t.ha-1 at t1 (0.53 t.ha.year-1) and the carbon at 24.81 t.ha-1 at t0 and 25.82 t.ha-1 at t1 (0.25 t.ha.year-1). Changes in the floristic composition and structure were minimal and the H’ decreased from 3.33 to 3.30 nats.ind-1 keeping the plant community at the same succession stage. None of parameters evaluated differed significantly between the two surveys (p>0.05), indicating that the community is stable over time. The abundance and richness were not correlated with the biomass (p>0.05). For herbaceous vegetation we found 80 species and 34 families. The families of most species richness were Asteraceae, Malvaceae and Poaceae (seven species each). In the area of subplots were found a density of 32.46 ind/m², basal area of 41.6 m².ha-1 and a carbon stock of 108.45 kg.ha-1 in the biomass of 230.76 kg.ha-1. We found H' of 2.42 nats.ind-1 and the Pielou evenness of 0.67. The results show that the studied plant community has not suffered reducing of floristic and structural complexity, with a maintain in the time of their stock of biomass, locally contributing to carbon storage. Moreover, without the influence of parameters abundance and richness, biomass stocks may remain unchanged in the event of reductions in these parameters. The human disturbance recorded caused moderate influence on herbaceous vegetation, but we suggest that the intensity of these have not been sufficient to set up degradation. The studied plant community tolerate current levels of human disturbance, enabling the use of its resources through a planned management, an alternative for conservation. |
