Resumen
El pecán (Carya illinoinensis) es una especie arbórea productora de frutos de interés comercial, su crecimiento en los últimos años fue notable en Argentina. Conocer los ciclos de materia orgánica de éste cultivo contribuirá a generar estrategias de manejo productivo eficientes. En este contexto, bajo la hipótesis que las condiciones microclimáticas internas de una plantación son cambiantes a lo largo de su desarrollo y que estos cambios influirían en la velocidad de descomposición de la hojarasca, se planteó como objetivo del presente trabajo estudiar la influencia de la edad de una plantación sobre la tasa de descomposición del desfronde. A lo largo de un año y medio se estudiaron 3 plantaciones de 7, 12 y 16 años de edad. Se determinó que el tiempo para descomponer el 50 % de la materia orgánica varía entre 0,4 y 0,6 años según la edad del bosque y entre 4 y 6 años para descomponer el 99 % de la hojarasca, siendo siempre las tasas menores las que corresponden a bosques de mayor edad. Del análisis del patrón temporal de descomposición, se observa que no hay dife-rencias significativas entre las edades para las etapas iniciales de la plantación, diferenciándose solo en etapas finales del estudio. Se concluye que las diferencias en las tasas de descomposición de hojas en bosques de distintas edades se asocian a sus diferentes coberturas, siendo la mayor tasa de descomposición en plantación joven que recibe mayor radiación solar a nivel de suelo.
The Pecan (Carya illinoinensis) is a fruit tree species of commercial interest whose cultivation increased notably in Argentina few years ago. To generate efficient productive management strategies, it is important to study its organic matter and nutrient cycles. In this context and, under the hypothesis that the internal microclimatic conditions of a plantation vary throughout its development and that these changes would influence the decay rate of litter, the present study aimed to determine the influence of plantation age on leaves decay. Along a year and a half, 3 plantations aged 7, 12 and 16 years were studied. It was determined that the time in which 50 % of the organic matter decomposes varies between 0.4 and 0.6 years while 99 % of the litter takes 4 and 6 years to decompose depending on the forest age, corresponding the lower rates to the older plantations. Out of the analysis of the decay temporal pattern, it is observed that though non-significant differences occurred between the ages at the initial stages of decay they do differ at the final stages of the study. It is concluded that the differences in leaf decomposition rates in forests of different ages are associated to their different covers, being the highest rate of decomposition that of the young plantation receiving more solar radiation at soil level.
