Conifers are under strong exploitation pressure in Mediterranean forests thus, knowledge of litter decomposition process and soil ecological functions is necessary for their adequate conservation. Thus, fluctuation in the size and turnover of the soil microbial biomass is very important in controlling the turnover of carbon and associated nutrients. The varying predominance of the individual enzymes can be related to the amount of soil microorganisms. Nutrient release from fresh plant litter occurs via the enzymatic activities of the microbial communities. The decomposition of organic matter is an important process responsible for the release of nutrients in soils, which affect the productivity of forest ecosystems, particularly of coniferous forests and other nutrient-poor types. ![]() Soil organic matter accumulated in the litter of a forest ecosystem is considered the single most important indicator of soil quality because it contributes to plant growth and development through its effect on the chemical, biological, and physical properties of soils. ![]() Restoring degraded tropical areas with rubber tree forests has a huge potential for mitigating global climate change by enhancing carbon stocks, and as a great option for financing via Clean Development Mechanism, because of its potential for generating social, environmental and economical benefits, contributing in this way for Brazil’s sustainable development. Quantifying of potential of the rubber tree is still unknown, and there are few studies in Brazil.These studies were carried out on carbon sequestration in rubber tree plantations and none of them, with the exception of Wauters et al., (2008), simultaneously assessed the complete set of pools – above - ground biomass, belowground biomass, litter, dead wood, soil – necessary to investigate carbon additionally in the context of afforestation and reforestation activities in Clean Development Mechanism. The Rubber tree plantation can contribute to the mitigation of GHG in three ways: 1) The carbon stored in biomass 2) The carbon stored in latex (C5H8) and 3) considering the substitution of synthetic rubber, produced from fossil fuels, for natural rubber. The Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis (Willd.) Muell.-Arg.), of the family Euphorbiaceae, originates from the Amazon basin forest and is now cultivated for latex production in all tropical zones. Among the countless forest species for carbon sequestration stands out the Rubber tree, which can be considered one of the most important alternatives for Brazil. Carbon sequestration by forests and its contribution to the reduction of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) is highlighted in discussions of global climate change. ![]()
