| dc.description | Litter decomposition dynamics and nutrient release are also dependent on their biochemical composition, and such information is important for adequate nutritional management but is still incipient for plants like teak. This study aimed to evaluate the decomposition dynamics, nutrient release, and biochemical composition of clonal teak litter. The study was conducted in areas of clonal teak stands, in São José do Rio Claro, Mato Grosso, Brazil. Litter collectors were arranged in the area to collect material along the entire dry period. Subsequently, this litter was placed in litter bags, which were distributed in the area. The litter bags were collected every month, for 0.91 years, to determine the dry matter and mineral nutrient contents, in order to estimate the decomposition and nutrient release. Litter biochemical composition was determined at the times of 0, 0.25, 0.58, 0.75, and 0.91 years. Teak litter, essentially leaves, had a half-life time (t 1/2 ) of dry matter and C of 0.74 years, due to the high content of insoluble lignin, which corresponds to 2.28 Mg ha -1 of dry matter and 1.2 Mg ha -1 of C. The t 1/2 values of N and P release (1.20 and 1.01 years) were higher than those of K, Ca, and Mg (0.08, 0.47, and 0.66 years, respectively). Hence, the nutrient release rate of the litter followed the descending order: K > Ca > Mg > P > N. The litter biochemical composition at the end of the experimental period showed reductions of 18.7 % in polysaccharides and holocellulose, 56 % in polyphenols, 56.3 % in tannins, 22.2 % in extractives, and 28.5 % in soluble lignin; and increases of 25.6 % in insoluble lignin and 22.6 % in total lignin. These data are useful for the balance of carbon and mineral nutrients and to support fertilization management in teak plantations in low-fertility soils. | |
