| Knowing of the dependence between local area productivity, nutrient cycling and litter decomposition process, the knowledge of the mycobiota responsible for decomposition is the right way to obtain answers about forest’s productivity and nutrient’s demand. This study determined the fungal diversity during litter decomposition of needle of Pinus taeda in an experimental plantation with four years old, located at Três Barras, SC, Brazil. Senescent needles were collected from trees in november/2003 and putted in selective bags for microorganisms, which were left over the forest litter. The first sample was taken to the laboratory and the remaining ones were kept in situ so that the needles continue their natural decomposition process and were collected every... |
