Patterns of association between soil variables and land uses in the La Vieja River watershed, Colombia.

In the Coffee Belt of Colombia we studied different patterns in land use considering the interaction between abundance, diversity and biomass of soil invertebrates (millipedes, beetles and earthworms), some physicochemical variables and land use intensity. Highest abundance and biomass of Coleoptera...

description In the Coffee Belt of Colombia we studied different patterns in land use considering the interaction between abundance, diversity and biomass of soil invertebrates (millipedes, beetles and earthworms), some physicochemical variables and land use intensity. Highest abundance and biomass of Coleoptera were found in Eucalyptus-lulo (Solanum quitoense), with 48 ind. m-2 and 9.4 g fresh weight (gfw) m-2, respectively. Millipede abundance and biomass was higher in the relict forest (53 ind. m-2 and 4.8 gfw m-2, respectively) and in the coffee variety Colombia (39.4 ind. m-2 and 3.1 gfw m-2, respectively). Earthworm abundance was higher in Eucalyptus-lulo (768 ind. m-2) and in the coffee variety Colombia (540 ind. m-2). Biological and physicochemical variables permitted the differentiation of three and four land use patterns, respectively. When they were combined with coinertia analysis, three patterns were distinguished, related to soil moisture, C and N contents and bulk density (p < 0.02). In pastures and the coffee variety Colombia, beetles (Ataenius sp., Onthophagus atriglabrus, Dichotomius satanas) and peregrine earthworms were dominant (Pontoscolex corethrurus, Polypheretima elongata, Dichogaster annae, Perionyx excavatus), soil C and N contents were low and bulk density higher. The analysis showed potential for separating biodiversity-friendly or biodiversity-critical areas and may be useful for land use planning in rural áreas.

En el Eje Cafetero de Colombia se diferenciaron patrones de uso del terreno con abundancia, diversidad y biomasa de invertebrados edáficos (coleópteros, diplópodos y lombrices de tierra), algunas variables físico-químicas e intensidad de uso. Los valores más elevados de abundancia y biomasa de coleópteros se encontraron en eucalipto-lulo (Solanum quitoense), con 48 ind. m-2 y 9.4 g peso fresco (g.p.f.) m-2, respectivamente. La abundancia y biomasa de diplópodos fue superior en relicto de selva (53 ind. m-2 y 4.8 g.p.f. m-2, respectivamente) y en cafetales variedad Colombia (39 ind. m-2 y 3.1 g.p.f. m-2, respectivamente). La abundancia de lombrices fue mayor en eucalipto-lulo (768 ind. m-2) y en cafetales variedad Colombia (540 ind. m-2). Las variables biológicas y fisicoquímicas configuraron tres y cuatro patrones de usos del terreno, respectivamente. La coinercia sugirió tres patrones relacionados con humedad, C, N y densidad aparente del suelo (p < 0.02). En pastizales y cafetales variedad Colombia predominaron lombrices peregrinas (Pontoscolex corethrurus, Polypheretima elongata, Dichogaster annae, Perionyx excavatus) o coleópteros (Ataenius sp., Onthophagus atriglabrus, Dichotomius satanas) y los valores para C y N fueron bajos y la densidad aparente mayor. El análisis de la información diferenció coberturas amigables o críticas para la biodiversidad, lo cual es valioso en la planificación del territorio.
