Microbial successional pattern along a glacier retreat gradient from Byers Peninsula, Maritime Antarctica.

The retreat of glaciers in Antarctica has increased in the last decades due to global climate change, influencing vegetation expansion, and soil physico-chemical and biological attributes. However, little is known about soil microbiology diversity in these periglacial landscapes. This study characterized and compared bacterial and fungal diversity using metabarcoding of soil samples from the Byers Peninsula, Maritime Antarctica. We identified bacterial and fungal communities by amplification of bacterial 16 S rRNA region V3-V4 and fungal internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1). We also applied 14C dating on soil organic matter (SOM) from six profiles. Physico-chemical analyses and attributes associated with SOM were evaluated. A total of 14,048 bacterial ASVs were obtained, and almost all samples had 50% of their sequences assigned to Actinobacteriota and Proteobacteria. Regarding the fungal community, Mortierellomycota, Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were the main phyla from 1619 ASVs. We found that soil age was more relevant than the distance from the glacier, with the oldest soil profile (late Holocene soil profile) hosting the highest bacterial and fungal diversity. The microbial indices of the fungal community were correlated with nutrient availability, soil reactivity and SOM composition, whereas the bacterial community was not correlated with any soil attribute. The bacterial diversity, richness, and evenness varied according to presence of permafrost and moisture regime. The fungal community richness in the surface horizon was not related to altitude, permafrost, or moisture regime. The soil moisture regime was crucial for the structure, high diversity and richness of the microbial community, specially to the bacterial community. Further studies should examine the relationship between microbial communities and environmental factors to better predict changes in this terrestrial ecosystem.

Soil dynamics in forest restoration: a data set for temperate and tropical regions.

Restoring forest ecosystems has become a global priority. Yet, soil dynamics are still poorly assessed among restoration studies and there is a lack of knowledge on how soil is affected by forest restoration process. Here, we compile information on soil dynamics in forest restoration based on soil physical, chemical, and biological attributes in temperate and tropical forest regions. It encompasses 50 scientific papers across 17 different countries and contains 1,469 points of quantitative information of soil attributes between reference (e.g., old-growth forest) and restored ecosystems (e.g., forests in their initial or secondary stage of succession) within the same study. To be selected, studies had to be conducted in forest ecosystems, to include multiple sampling sites (replicates) in both restored and reference ecosystems, and to encompass quantitative data of soil attributes for both reference and restored ecosystems. We recorded in each study the following information: (1) study year, (2) country, (3) forest region (tropical or temperate), (4) latitude, (5) longitude, (6) soil class, (7) past disturbance, (8) restoration strategy (active or passive), (9) restoration age, (10) soil attribute type (physical, chemical, or biological); (11) soil attribute, (12) soil attribute unit, (13) soil sampling (procedures), (14) date of sampling, (15) soil depth sampled, (16) soil analysis, (17) quantitative values of soil attributes for both restored and reference ecosystems, (18) type of variation (standard error of deviation) for both restored and reference ecosystems, and (19) quantitative values of the variation for both restored and reference ecosystems. These were the most common data available in the selected studies. This extensive database on the extent soil physical, chemical, and biological attributes differ between reference and restored ecosystems can fill part of the existing gap on both soil science and forest restoration in terms of (1) which are the critical soil attributes to be monitored during forest restoration? and (2) how do environmental factors affect soil attributes in forest restoration? The data will be made available to the scientific community for further analyses on both soil science and forest restoration. Soil information gaps during the forest restoration process and their general patterns can be addressed using this data set. There are no copyright or proprietary restrictions.

Attributes of pedoindicator soils in areas cultivated with typical crops in the Western Amazon, Brazil / Atributos de solos pedoindicadores em áreas cultivadas com culturas típicas na Amazônia Ocidental, Brasil

The crop systems adopted in the Amazônia region have been studied several times in terms of the variability and to indicate the soil attributes more sensitive to the different crops. Thus, the objective of this work was to apply multivariate techniques in order to identify the chemical attributes most sensitive to environmental changes in different crop systems in Western Amazonia, Brazil. The research was conducted in five rural properties located in the Humaitá city region, Western Amazonia, Brazil. There were selected four environments with natural characteristics (Native Forest - NF) and five cropping systems (Grazing, Cassava, Açaí, Agroforestry and Reforestation). In the selected areas, soil samples were collected at depths layers of 0.0-0.05 m; 0.05-0.1 m and 0.1-0.2 m and the following chemical analyzes were performed: pH in water, Ca2+, Mg2+, K +, Resin-P, phosphorus bio-available particulate (Pbp), OC, Al3+, H++Al3+ and from these results SB, T, t, m% and V% were calculated. Multivariate statistical techniques were used to verify similarities between the crop systems in the attempt to relate the crops grown and the chemical attributes. The multivariate analysis was essential in the crop systems distinction, as well as to describe the relationship with the chemical properties. The results demonstrate and reinforce the existing variability between crop systems, with emphasis on the variation in crop systems, compared to natural environments. (AU)

A análise multivariada foi preponderante na distinção dos sistemas de cultivos estudados, bem como caracterização da relação com as propriedades químicas. Os resultados demonstram e reforçam a variabilidade existente entre os sistemas de cultivo, com ênfase na variação dos sistemas de cultivo, em comparação com os ambientes naturais. (AU)

Fire lead to disturbance on organic carbon under sugarcane cultivation but is recovered by amendment with vinasse.

Sugarcane burning has been widely practiced in Brazil and worldwide. In the long term, this farming practice can cause soil erosion, reduction in organic carbon (OC) and consequently, changes in the structure of soil organic matter (SOM). Such changes may be difficult to reverse. This study aimed to assess the medium- and long-term effects of sugarcane burning on SOM characteristics, both in terms of quantity and structural quality and evaluate the application of vinasse as a strategy to attenuate fire-induced changes in burned soil. The experiment was conducted in a 50-year-old sugarcane field on soils classed as Cambissolo Háplico (Inceptisol). Four plots were sampled: a) burning of sugarcane for harvest for 37 years (SCB37); b) renewal of the sugarcane field and burning for harvest for 3 years (SCB3); c) renewal of the sugarcane field without burning for harvest for 3 years (SCWB), and d) renewal of the sugarcane field and burning for harvest with the application of vinasse for 3 years (SCV). Chemical and physical characterization of SOM was performed by solid-state spectroscopy (UV-vis, ATR-FTIR e 13C NMR CP/MAS) and chemometric techniques. The results showed that sugarcane burning drastically impacts SOM content and its chemical structure, however, the application of vinasse preserves and restores the soil from the fire effects. Content of soil OC, particulate OC, mineral-associated OC, humic acid, humin and light fraction OM that were affected by fire, had an increase and recovery of contents by the vinasse application. Solid state spectroscopy showed that labile structures were lost in humic acids (HA) by fire and recalcitrant structures were preserved. The application of vinasse incorporated fragments of lipids and carbohydrates in HA structure. Burning sugar cane straw affects the integrity of soil organic matter but can be restored by applying vinasse.

Comparative Analysis of Fungal Diversity in Rhizospheric Soil from Wild and Reintroduced Magnolia sinica Estimated via High-Throughput Sequencing.

Magnolia sinica is a critically endangered species and considered a "plant species with extremely small populations" (PSESP). It is an endemic species in southeastern Yunnan Province, China, with reproductive barriers. Rhizosphere fungi play a crucial role in plant growth and health. However, the composition, diversity, and function of fungal communities in wild and reintroduced M. sinica rhizospheres remain unknown. In this study, Illumina sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region was used to analyze rhizospheric soil samples from wild and reintroduced M. sinica. Thirteen phyla, 45 classes, 105 orders, 232 families, and 433 genera of fungi were detected. Basidiomycota and Ascomycota were dominant across all samples. The fungal community composition was similar between the wild and reintroduced rhizospheres, but the fungal taxa relative abundances differed. The fungal community richness was higher in the reintroduced rhizosphere than in the wild rhizosphere, but the diversity showed the opposite pattern. Soil nutrients and leaf litter significantly affected the fungal community composition and functional diversity. Here, the composition, structure, diversity, and ecological functions of the fungal communities in the rhizospheres of wild and reintroduced M. sinica were elucidated for the first time, laying a foundation for future research and endangered species protection.

Physical and chemical properties of soils in different physiographic environments in the southern Amazonas region / Atributos físicos e químicos de solos em diferentes ambientes fisiográficos na região sul do Amazonas, Brasil

The Amazon region has a great diversity of landscapes such as forests galleries, natural fields ("Cerrados Amazônicos"), dense forest, these environments made possible the formation of a broad class of soils over time. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of soils in different physiographic environments in southern Amazonas, Brazil. Three areas of representative physiographies were selected, all of them in natural conditions: natural field / forest and floodplain / dry land transitions, and corrugated relief areas. Soil samples were collected in layers of 0.0 to 0.20 and 0.80-1.0 m. From the samples collected the following physical analyzes were performed: particle size, bulk density, particle density, total porosity and saturated hydraulic conductivity; and chemical: exchangeable calcium, magnesium, aluminum and potassium available, phosphorus, potential acidity, pH and organic carbon. Based on the results of chemical analysis were calculated the sum of bases and base saturation. The results were submitted to multivariate statistics analysis, at the discretion of the principal component analysis (PCA). From the results it is clear that different physiographic environments studied influence the formation of different soil classes, featuring the diversity of Amazonian soils. The PCA allowed the distinction and formation of differentsimilarity groups, thus enabling to relate the physical and chemical properties with the physiographic formation in which they are inserted.

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar as propriedades físicas e químicas de solos em diferentes ambientes fisiográficos no sul do Amazonas, Brasil. Três áreas de fisiografias representativas foram selecionadas, todas em condições naturais: campo natural / floresta e transições de várzea / terra firme e áreas de relevo corrugado. Amostras de solo foram coletadas em camadas de 0,0 a 0,20 e 0,80-1,0 m. Das amostras coletadas foram realizadas as seguintes análises físicas: tamanho de partícula, densidade do solo, densidade de partículas, porosidade total e condutividade hidráulica saturada; e químico: cálcio trocável, magnésio, alumínio e potássio disponíveis, fósforo, acidez potencial, pH e carbono orgânico. Com base nos resultados da análise química foram calculados a soma das bases e saturação por bases. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise estatística multivariada, a critério da análise de componentes principais (PCA). A partir dos resultados, percebe-se que diferentes ambientes fisiográficos estudados influenciam a formação de diferentes classes de solos, caracterizando a diversidade de solos amazônicos. O PCA permitiu a distinção e formação de diferentes grupos de similaridade, permitindo relacionar as propriedades físico-químicas com a formação fisiográfica em que estão inseridos.

Spatial variation of chemical attributes in archaeological dark earth under cocoa cultivation in Western Amazon / Variação espacial de atributos químicos em terra pr eta arqueológica sob cultivo de cacau na amazonia ocide ntal

As Terras Pretas Arqueológicas (TPAs) são solos de fertilidade que notoriamente são superiores à grande maioria dos solos típicos da região amazônica. Assim, o uso das TPAs intensificou-se devido às características químicas apresentadas por esses solos, como a alta concentração de nutrientes (fósforo, cálcio, magnésio). Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a distribuição espacial dos atributos químicos do solo em uma área de Terra Preta Arqueológica sob cultivo de cacau no município de Apuí (AM). O mapeamento de uma malha de 42 x 88 m, com espaçamento irregular de 6 x 8 m, totalizando 88 pontos, foi realizado e, em seguida, foram coletadas amostras de solo nas profundidades de 0,0-0,05; 0,05-0,10; (pH, O.C, Sto. C, (H + Al), P, K, Ca, Mg, SB, CEC e V%). Os dados foram analisados por meio de técnicas estatísticas descritivas e geoestatísticas. Os valores médios e medianos foram ajustados aos valores próximos, indicando distribuição normal, enquanto os atributos químicos do solo foram ajustados aos modelos de semivariogramas esféricos e exponenciais. A maioria dos atributos apresentou coeficiente de variação (CV) entre 12,1 e 60%, caracterizada como variabilidade média, as variáveis do estudo apresentaram diferentes faixas e a maioria teve forte dependência espacial. As técnicas geoestatísticas utilizadas permitiram os ajustes dos modelos teóricos que melhor representaram a semivariância experimental, possibilitando a construção de mapas temáticos da distribuição espacial dos valores dos atributos da área estudada.

The Black Archaeological Lands (TPAs) are fertility soils that are notoriously superior to the vast majority of typical soils in the Amazon region. Thus, the use of TPAs ​​has intensified due to the chemical characteristics presented by these soils, such as the high concentration of nutrients (phosphorus, calcium, magnesium). In this sense, the objective of this study was to evaluate the spatial distribution of the chemical attributes of the soil in an area of ​​Terra Preta Arqueológica under cocoa cultivation in the city of Apuí (AM). The mapping of a mesh of 42 x 88 m, with irregular spacing of 6 x 8 m, totaling 88 points, was carried out and, then, soil samples were collected at depths of 0.0-0.05; 0.05-0.10; (pH, O.C, Sto. C, (H + Al), P, K, Ca, Mg, SB, CEC and V%). The data were analyzed using descriptive and geostatistical statistical techniques. The mean and median values ​​were adjusted to the close values, indicating normal distribution, while the chemical attributes of the soil were adjusted to the models of spherical and exponential semivariograms. Most of the attributes presented a variation coefficient (CV) between 12.1 and 60%, characterized as average variability, the study variables had different ranges and most had a strong spatial dependence. The geostatistical techniques used allowed the adjustments of the theoretical models that best represented the experimental semivariance, allowing the construction of thematic maps of the spatial distribution of the values ​​of the attributes of the studied area.

Geospatial variability of soil CO2-C exchange in the main terrestrial ecosystems of Keller Peninsula, Maritime Antarctica.

Soils and vegetation play an important role in the carbon exchange in Maritime Antarctica but little is known on the spatial variability of carbon processes in Antarctic terrestrial environments. The objective of the current study was to investigate (i) the soil development and (ii) spatial variability of ecosystem respiration (ER), net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE), gross primary production (GPP), soil temperature (ST) and soil moisture (SM) under four distinct vegetation types and a bare soil in Keller Peninsula, King George Island, Maritime Antarctica, as follows: site 1: moss-turf community; site 2: moss-carpet community; site 3: phanerogamic antarctic community; site 4: moss-carpet community (predominantly colonized by Sanionia uncinata); site 5: bare soil. Soils were sampled at different layers. A regular 40-point (5×8 m) grid, with a minimum separation distance of 1m, was installed at each site to quantify the spatial variability of carbon exchange, soil moisture and temperature. Vegetation characteristics showed closer relation with soil development across the studied sites. ER reached 2.26µmolCO2m(-2)s(-1) in site 3, where ST was higher (7.53°C). A greater sink effect was revealed in site 4 (net uptake of 1.54µmolCO2m(-2)s(-1)) associated with higher SM (0.32m(3)m(-3)). Spherical models were fitted to describe all experimental semivariograms. Results indicate that ST and SM are directly related to the spatial variability of CO2 exchange. Heterogeneous vegetation patches showed smaller range values. Overall, poorly drained terrestrial ecosystems act as CO2 sink. Conversely, where ER is more pronounced, they are associated with intense soil carbon mineralization. The formations of new ice-free areas, depending on the local soil drainage condition, have an important effect on CO2 exchange. With increasing ice/snow melting, and resulting widespread waterlogging, increasing CO2 sink in terrestrial ecosystems is expected for Maritime Antarctica.

Chemical soil attributes evaluated by multivariate techniques and geostatistics in the area with agroforestry and sugarcane in Humaitá, AM, Brazil / Atributos químicos do solo avaliados por técnicas multivariadas e geoestatísticas em área com agrofloresta e cana-de-açúcar em Humaitá, AM, Brasil

Studies on the spatial behavior of soil attributes in the Amazon region are still very incipient. In this sense, the objective of this work was to evaluate the chemical attributes through multivariate techniques and geoestatistics in the area with agroforestry and sugarcane in Humaitá, AM, Brazil. The study was carried out in a farm in Humaitá city, Amazonas State. The studied area was divided into 70.00 m x 70.00 m meshes with a regular spacing of 10 m, totaling 64 points and then, soil samples were collected at 0.0-0.2 m and 0.4-0.6 m depths. We performed chemical analyses of the attributes of soil. Then, it was applied descriptive statistics, multivariate and geostatistics. In conclusion, our findings suggest that for most of the chemical attributes was observed spatial dependence in both areas, with DSD varying from weak to moderate, with prevalence of the weak one. The multivariate analysis was efficient in the selection of chemical soil attributes that best represented the agroforestry environments and sugarcane. The results of this study will serve as a basis for further studies on these environments and other systems within the region; moreover serving as a basis for agricultural planning aiming a better environmental sustainability.

Existe uma carência de estudos enfocando o comportamento espacial de atributos químicos no Amazonas. Neste sentido o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os atributos químicos do solo por meio de técnicas multivariadas e geoestatística em área com agrofloresta e cana-de-açúcar em Humaitá, AM, Brasil. O estudo foi realizado em uma propriedade rural em Humaitá, Amazonas. Nestas áreas foram estabelecidas malhas de 70,00 m x 70,00 m, com espaçamento regular de 10,00 x 10,00 m totalizando 64 pontos e em seguida, coletadas amostras de solos na profundidade de 0,0-0,20 e 0,40 ­ 0,60 m. Foram determinados os atributos químicos (pH, MO, P, K, Ca, Mg, SB, CTC, V% e H+Al). Utilizaram-se técnicas de estatística descritiva, multivariada e geoestatística. Em conclusão, nossos resultados sugerem que, para a maioria dos atributos químicos foi observada dependência espacial em ambas as áreas, com DSD variando de fraca a moderada, com prevalência de um fraco e a análise multivariada foi eficiente na seleção de atributos químicos do solo que melhor representou os ambientes de agrofloresta e cana de açúcar.

Variabilidade espacial de atributos físicos de solos antropogênico e não antropogênico na região de Manicoré, AM / Spatial variability of soil physical anthropogenic and non anthropogenic in the region of Manicoré, AM

Melhores conhecimentos sobre os solos antropogênicos podem auxiliar na construção de cenários futuros para a região amazônica, por meio de informações que subsidiem o planejamento sustentável. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a variabilidade espacial de atributos físicos de solos antropogênicos e não antropogênico na região de Manicoré, AM. Na área do estudo foram selecionadas duas, uma com solos não antropogênicos (floresta nativa) e outra com solos antropogênicos (terra preta arqueológica). Em cada área, foi estabelecida uma malha medindo 70 x 70 m e os solos foram amostrados nos pontos de cruzamento da malha, com espaçamentos regulares de 10 em 10 metros, perfazendo um total de 64 pontos amostrais em cada paisagem. Foram coletadas amostras de solos na profundidade de 0,0 a 0,10 m e realizadas as análises físicas (textura, densidade do solo, macroporosidade, microporososidade, porosidade total e estabilidade dos agregados). Em seguida, os dados foram submetidos á estatística descritiva e geoestatística. Verificou-se que os solos antropogênicos e não antropogênicos apresentaram comportamentos diferenciados em relação ás suas estruturas espaciais. A variabilidade espacial que predominou no solo antropogênico e não antropogênico foi moderada e fraca indicando que estes solos estão fortemente ligados a alterações ocorridas por fatores extrinsecos no solo. No solo antropogênico foi observado melhores resultados para a porosidade total, microporosidade e densidade do solo, evidenciando características superiores para fins agronômicos quando comparado ao solo não antropogênico. E os valores de alcance encontrado nas duas áreas foram acima do utilizado na malha, evidenciando maior continuidade espacial nestes ambientes.

Better knowledge of the anthropogenic soils can help create future scenarios for the Amazon region through information that supports the sustainable planning. The aim of this study was to evaluate the spatial variability of soil physical anthropogenic and not anthropogenic in the region of Manipur, AM. In the study area we selected two, one with no anthropogenic soils (native forest) and another with anthropogenic soils (black earth archaeological). In each area, we established a grid measuring 70 x 70 m and the soils were sampled at the points of intersection of the grid with regular spacing of 10 by 10 feet, making a total of 64 sampling points in each landscape. Soil samples were collected at a depth from 0.0 to 0.10 I did the analyzes physical (texture, bulk density, macroporosity, microporososidade, porosity and aggregate stability). Then, the data were subjected to descriptive statistics and geostatistics. It was found that the anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic soils showed different behaviors in relation ace their spatial structures. The spatial variability that prevailed in anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic soil was moderate and weak indicating that these soils are strongly linked to changes in the soil by extrinsic factors. The soil was observed anthropogenic best results for total porosity, microporosity and bulk density, showing superior characteristics compared for agronomic soil not anthropogenic. And the range of values found in the above two areas were used in the mesh, showing greater spatial continuity in these environments.
