Secondary succession and root biomass changes in madagascar dry deciduous forest (Mikea forest)

Abstract

Succession secondaire et changements de la biomasse racinaire en forêt décidue sèche à Madagascar (forêt Mikéa). La structure et la distribution de la biomasse racinaire ont été caractérisées le long d’une chronoséquence de forêt secondaire (jachères âgées de 2, 6, 12 et 30 ans) et deux écosystèmes de référence (une forêt mature et une savane boisée) afin de décrire le processus de régénération de la forêt dense sèche dans le sud-ouest de Madagascar. La distribution de la biomasse racinaire en fonction de la profondeur s’ajuste bien à une fonction puissance de type B = aDb (B : biomasse racinaire en mg. dm-3 et D : profondeur en cm). Les racines sont plus profondes dans les forêts matures et les jachères jeunes mais elles sont plus superficielles dans les vieilles jachères et la savane boisée où les sols sont plus compacts. La biomasse racinaire augmente avec l’âge de la jachère jusqu’à la douzième année et une diminution a été enregistrée dans la jachère de 30 ans. La biomasse racinaire était de 3,58 t. ha-1 dans la jachère de 2 ans, 4,96 t. ha-1 dans la jachère de 6 ans et 10,00 t. ha-1 dans la jachère de 12 ans. Les valeurs de la biomasse racinaire des jachères et de la savane boisée (7,00 t. ha-1) sont largement inférieures à celles de la forêt mature (18,5 t. ha-1). Ainsi, le coût écologique de la déforestation dans la zone d’étude correspond une perte de 16,9 t. ha-1 de biomasse racinaire après 30 ans d’abandon.
