          Abstract

          Objetivou-se analisar a sucessão ecológica em áreas desmatadas e dominadas espontaneamente por Pteridium aquilinum na Serra da Mantiqueira, por meio do levantamento da regeneração natural de espécies arbustivo-arbóreas, bem como avaliar a influência dos históricos de perturbação e condições edáficas. Amostraram-se duas áreas em Bocaina de Minas, Minas Gerais, em regeneração há 6 e 20 anos, com 60 parcelas de 10 m², inventariando-se os regenerantes de 0,15 a 3 m de altura, todos identificados e medidos em diâmetro e altura. Registraram-se 1.159 indivíduos de 53 espécies, destacando-se a família Melastomataceae pela maior riqueza e abundância. As áreas diferenciaram-se na composição de espécies, com similaridade de Jaccard de 3,7%. Sob análise de correspondência canônica, a área de seis anos evidenciou correlações positivas entre a comunidade regenerante e teores de fósforo não lábil e argila, enquanto a área de 20 anos mostrou correlações com K, P, Ca, Al, pH e soma de bases trocáveis, além de maiores densidades de Pteridium. Os resultados demonstraram que a dominância de P. aquilinum conduz a uma sucessão ecológica sob inibição, onde a samambaia atua negativamente sobre a riqueza e abundância de populações arbustivo-arbóreas. Também se confirmou a preferência da espécie por terrenos declivosos, a maiores altitudes, com solos mais ácidos, beneficiando-se também de distúrbios. Por outro lado, chama-se a atenção para a suscetibilidade desses ambientes montanos e para a importância da preservação de sua vegetação natural, assim como do desbaste das samambaias como estratégia de restauração florestal.

          This study was set out with the objective of analyzing successional process in areas which are deforested and dominated by Pteridium aquilinum in the Serra da Mantiqueira mountain range, by researching the natural regeneration of shrub and tree species and evaluating both disturbance history and the edaphic conditions on the natural regeneration community. This research investigated two abandoned pasture areas in Bocaina de Minas county exposed to natural regeneration intervals ranging from six years (area named 6A) to twenty years (area named 20A). The inventory occurred from sixty plots of 10 m², where all samples surveyed were between 0.15 m and 3 m high. All samples were identified and both the diameter in ground level and total height of the specimens were measured. The survey totaled 1,159 samples and 53 species. Melastomataceae was registered with the highest species richness and the highest specimen abundance. The two sampled areas showed species composition differences, with Jaccard similarity coefficient equal to 3.7%. The canonical correspondence analysis showed the correlations between natural regeneration stratum and non-labile phosphorus and clay in the 6A area. On the other hand, the 20A area showed correlations between plant regeneration and the K, P, Ca²+, Al³+ levels, with higher pH levels, and with the sum of exchangeable bases. In addition, the vegetation surveyed in area 20A was correlated with higher Pteridium population density. The results showed that the dominance of Pteridium aquilinum leads to successional process under inhibition, in which the ferns act negatively on the richness and abundance of shrub populations. It was also confirmed the Pteridium's affinity to steep areas, mainly in higher altitudes, where the soil is acid, as well as its preference to disturbed areas. Moreover, we highlight the fragilities of the mountain environments and the importance of preserving natural vegetation, as well as the bracken management as a strategy for forest restoration.
