Reforestation in agricultural-livestock areas: a case study evaluating the performance of two native spinal species

Background and aims: Forest restoration is of increasing concern around the world, mainly in agricultural areas where remnant native forest patches are scarce and isolated from each other. Here, we assess the performance in plantation of two native tree species from the Espinal. We aimed (1) to comp...

description Background and aims: Forest restoration is of increasing concern around the world, mainly in agricultural areas where remnant native forest patches are scarce and isolated from each other. Here, we assess the performance in plantation of two native tree species from the Espinal. We aimed (1) to compare the survival and growth of Prosopis alba (algarrobo blanco) and Celtis ehrenbergiana (tala) planted in a forest edge and an open site, (2) to compare the incidence of vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores between species and sites, (3) to describe other factors that could affect the performance of saplings in agricultural areas.  M&M: We planted a total of 200 saplings per species, distributed in two sites and monthly assessed the survival, height and the incidence of vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores.  Results: 11 months after planting, the survival for algarrobo and tala were 32% and 17%, respectively (P<0.0001). The survival of algarrobo saplings was higher in the forest edge than in the open site while for the survival of tala saplings we found an opposite pattern (P<0.0001). Final sapling height was lower than at planting time, without differences between species and sites (P>0.05). Vertebrate herbivores affected 28% of saplings of both species, while invertebrates affected a 5% of saplings.  Conclusions: We recommend to plant “algarrobo” for increasing the area of remnant forest patches, and tala for creating new patches in open areas or increase the connectivity between isolated patches, in sites with livestock exclusion and low herbicide drift.

Evaluamos el desempeño de plantines de dos especies arbóreas nativas del Espinal. Nos propusimos (1) comparar la supervivencia y el crecimiento de plantines de Prosopis alba (algarrobo blanco) y Celtis ehrenbergiana (tala) plantados en un sitio al borde del bosque y en un sitio abierto, (2) comparar la incidencia de herbívoros entre especies y sitios, (3) describir otros factores ambientales que pudieran afectar el desempeño de los plantines en el contexto agrícola-ganadero.  M&M: Plantamos 200 plantines por especie, distribuidos en los dos sitios y evaluamos mensualmente la supervivencia, altura e incidencia de herbívoros.  Resultados: A los 11 meses, la supervivencia de algarrobo y tala fue de 32% y 17%, respectivamente (P<0,0001). El algarrobo tuvo mayor supervivencia en el borde del bosque mientras el tala tuvo mayor supervivencia en el sitio abierto (interacción sitio x especie, P<0,0001). La altura final fue menor que al momento de la plantación, sin diferencias entre especies ni sitios (P>0,05). Los herbívoros vertebrados afectaron al 28% de los plantines de ambas especies, mientras que los invertebrados afectaron en promedio un 5% de los plantines. Durante el experimento la plantación fue afectada por la deriva de herbicidas.  Conclusiones: Recomendamos la plantación de algarrobo para extender parches de bosque remanentes y de tala para la creación de nuevos parches en sitios abiertos o incrementar conexión entre parches aislados, con exclusión ganadera y en sitios que estén protegidos de la deriva de herbicidas.  Sociedad Argentina de Botánica 2020-12-05 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/BSAB/article/view/29183 10.31055/1851.2372.v55.n4.29183 Boletín de la Sociedad Argentina de Botánica (Journal of the Argentine Botanical Society; Vol. 55 No. 4 (2020): December; 605-617 Boletín de la Sociedad Argentina de Botánica; Vol. 55 Núm. 4 (2020): Diciembre; 605-617 Boletín de la Sociedad Argentina de Botánica; v. 55 n. 4 (2020): Diciembre; 605-617 1851-2372 0373-580X 10.31055/1851.2372.v55.n4 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/BSAB/article/view/29183/31822 https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/BSAB/article/view/29183/31823 Derechos de autor 2020 Luciana Peirone Cappri, Romina C.
