Abstract

he adopted practice of agriculture/forestry alters the nature of the organic substrate and reduces the diversity of soil microflora, resulting in the accumulation of monogenic residues, diminishing cenotrophism, humification and altering the rhizosphere, reducing the root absorption capacity. The productivity of mixed plantations is more stable over long periods and the monocultures cause Soil Sickness, which lowers the forest productivity from the second cycle Results obtained in this preliminary study show that for the studied species, it doesn’t exist a single association that concentrates positive behavior impacts for all or most of the assessed parameters, but that different parameters demonstrated variable behaviors between the proven associations.
