Implicações ecológicas da invasibilidade de Acacia spp. em eucaliptais do centro de Portugal

Abstract

Pretendeu-se com este estudo avaliar o efeito combinado das práticas de gestão do eucaliptal e da sua invasão pela acácia, na abundância e diversidade específica da vegetação bem como na área basal média do eucalipto, como medida de produtividade. Através da combinação desta informação com a avaliação do potencial invasor da acácia em diferentes situações de gestão, pretendeu-se fornecer linhas orientadoras para a elaboração de medidas de gestão destes eucaliptais em presença de acácia. Assim, ao avaliar o efeito da invasão de eucaliptais pela Acacia dealbata na produtividade do eucalipto verificou-se que a espécie invasora tem uma influência negativa, observando-se um decréscimo. Ao nível da diversidade a sua expressividade vai depender para além da densidade das espécies competidoras (eucalipto e acácia), das técnicas de gestão aplicadas e de factores abióticos, presentes nos diferentes locais de estudo, existindo tendências de diminuição, embora não significativas, na presença de acácia. A manutenção de um sub-coberto em plantações é de extrema importância tanto para a biodiversidade bem como para o eucalipto, pois protege o solo da erosão e contribui para uma maior reciclagem do ciclo de nutrientes.

The intention of this study was to evaluate the combined effect of management practices of plantation and its invasion by acacia, in abundance and species diversity of vegetation and the average basal area of eucalyptus as a measure of productivity. This information combined with the assessment of invasive potential of acacia in different management situations may provide guidelines for the development of measures for management of eucalyptus plantations in the presence of acacia. In assessing the effect of invasion by Acacia dealbata of Eucalyptus globulos plantations in productivity, was found that this specie have a negative influence in, observing a fall. In terms of floristic diversity, its expressiveness will depend, on the density of competing species (eucalyptus and acacia), management techniques applied and abiotic factors, in the various study sites, there are downward trends, although not significant, in the presence of acacia. The continued under-covered in plantations is important, for biodiversity and for the eucalyptus, it protects the soil from erosion and contributes to increased recycling of the nutrient cycle.
