dc.description.abstractABSTRACT: Approximately 30% of Portuguese forests are occupied by eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus). As this is a highly flammable invasive species, it is essential to control its proliferation. Thus, the PEST(bio) CIDE project, based on a circular economy perspective, aims to explore the phytotoxic potential of eucalyptus leaves, using its leaf biomass as an effective and environmentally safe biocide, and its use as a corrective to improve soil properties. It is also expected that the introduction of biomass into the soil will contribute to increase carbon reserves and soil fertility. Thus, it is possible to associate an economic benefit with better management of post-fire regenerated eucalyptus areas. Due to this, a field trial was carried out to test the effect of biomass application on the soil’s physico-chemical properties. The results indicate that incorporating leaves has a positive effect on some soil properties, mainly in terms of increasing organic matter and available macronutrients.eng
dc.description.abstractRESUMO: Aproximadamente 30% da floresta portuguesa é ocupada por eucalipto (Eucalyptus globulus). Sendo esta uma espécie invasora altamente inflamável, é fundamental controlar a sua proliferação. Assim, o projeto PEST(bio)CIDE, baseado numa perspetiva de economia circular, visa explorar o potencial fitotóxico das folhas de eucalipto, usando a sua biomassa foliar como um biocida eficaz e ambientalmente seguro, e a sua utilização como corretivo para melhorar as propriedades do solo. Esperase também que a introdução de biomassa no solo contribua para aumentar reservas de carbono e fertilidade do solo. Assim, é possível associar um benefício económico a uma melhor gestão das áreas de eucalipto regeneradas pós-incêndio. Para isto, foi realizado um ensaio de campo para testar o efeito da aplicação da biomassa nas propriedades físico-químicas do solo. Os resultados indicam que a incorporação de folhas tem um efeito positivo em algumas propriedades do solo, principalmente no aumento de matéria orgânica e macronutrientes disponíveis.por
