Abstract

The decomposition of organic matter is an ecological function that provides energy to the ecosystems, being performed, in part, by fungal communities. The objective of the present study was to measure the percentage of foliar decomposition after 75 days of incubation in water and soil, in addition to quantify the populations and fungal biomass colonizers of the detritus of two plant species, one native of riparian vegetation and one exotic. Leaves of Cariniana rubra (Jequitibá) native to the study area and of Calophyllum brasiliense (Guanandi), which occurs in flooded forest ecosystems, were collected, dried, stored in litter bags and incubated in triplicates for a period of 75 days in the soil from a riparian forest and at the bottom of a first-order stream. After incubation, the leaves were processed in the laboratory for colony-forming unit count analysis, fungal biomass quantification, and mass loss. The results indicate that the UFC count was higher in the samples incubated in the water than in the soil, but the morphotype richness was higher in soil. The fungal biomass differed between leaves incubated in soil and water for both plant species, and both species had a mean decomposition rate.

Key-worlds:  Fungal biomass; fungal counts; coefficient of decomposition; litter
