Abstract:
In the paper there are considered methodological issues for the evaluation of soil biota in terms of oil pollution. Experimental studies have shown that under the exposure of a various levels of oil pollution meeting certain gradations of the state and optimal alteration in microbocenosis in sod-podzolic soils, there is occurred a transformation of structure of the complex of micromycetes and the accumulation of toxic species, hardly typical for podzolic soils - primarily represantatives of the genus Aspergillus (A.niger and A. versicolor), Paecilomyces (P.variotii Bainer), Trichoderma (T.hamatum), the genus of phytopathogens Fusarium (F.oxysporum), dermatophytes of genus Sporothrix (S. schenckii) and dark-colored melanin containing fungi of Dematiaceae family. Besides that there are presented data on the study of microbiocenosis of the urban soil, the urban soil differed from the zone soil, but shaped in similar landscape and climatic conditions, and therefore having a tendency to a similar response from the side of microorganisms inhabiting the soil. Isolated complex of soil microscopic fungi is described by many authors as a complex, characteristic for soils of megalopolises. This allowed authors of this work to suggest that in urban soils the gain in the occurrence of pathogenic species micromycetes also increases against a background of chronic, continuously renewed inflow of petroleum hydrocarbons from various sources of pollution. Because changes in the species composition of micromycetes occurred in accordance with the increasing load of oil, so far as microscopic soil fungi can be recommended as a bioindicator organisms for oil. In the article there is also provided information about the distinctive features of modern DNA identification method of soil microscopic fungi and accepted in our country methodology of isolation of micromycetes with the use of a nutrient Czapek medium.

Abstract:
The use of living organisms as biological indicators for environmental change necessitates the development of a number of criteria on the basis of which it is possible to select indicator species. These include the biological activity of soils (mesofauna, enzymes). Bioindicators with a chronic anthropogenic load on the soil, in particular with prolonged application of fertilizers, can react to very weak effects due to dose accumulation, in addition, they make it unnecessary to use expensive and laborious physical and chemical methods for measuring biological parameters. The novelty of our research is based on the study of the influence of anthropogenic influences on the biological activity of soils in comparison with its basic indicators. This will allow us to establish a correlation between the soil fauna and the main traditional indicators of soil fertility, and significantly enhance their ecological significance in assessing agricultural practices in agricultural production. It has been revealed that the soils under study differ in relatively favorable physical properties, which in turn affects the distribution of the mesofauna. When the biological activity of soils was diagnosed, a decrease in the activity of soil mesofauna was noted in variants with high doses of phosphorus fertilizers depending on the type of soil. In light chestnut soils, meso-faunistic indices are reduced to (16 ind·m-2) and poor group diversity. The main representatives of the soil mesofauna are Carabidae, Formicidae, Lumbricidae, Scarabeidae. Typical species for fertilized soils are Carabidae, Lumbricidae, Scarabeidae. It was revealed that larvae of the mesofauna of soils from the family Curculionidae, Scarabaeidae are characteristic representatives. Representatives of these families can be used as bioindicators in conducting studies on the investigated soils. Bioindicator species of the investigated soils are present irrespective of the use of mineral fertilizers and, accordingly, the level of pesticide content.

Abstract:
The usefulness of bioindicators to study the state of the environment in different compartments (air, water, and soil) has been demonstrated for a long time. All persistent pollutants can be measured in some form of bioindicator, and numerous organisms are suitable for the biomonitoring purpose. In most of the works on this topic, bioindicators are used to highlight the impact of human activities. Generally, samples collected from polluted areas are compared with samples from an area considered as clean, or samples from areas characterized by different pollution sources are compared with each other. An approach that has not been attempted consists in correlating directly data on environmental quality obtained by bioindicators with parameters measuring the population health. In the present study, the concentrations of As, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, V, and Zn measured by atomic emission spectrometry (ICP OES) in 56 samples of holm oak bark from trees located in urban parks and along streets in a Northern Italy city were related to the data describing the health status of the citizens. The concentrations of some of the 10 trace elements in the bioindicator were found significantly correlated with mortality and morbidity data regarding cardiac and respiratory diseases. The results, although preliminary, show the potential of this approach for implementing strategies aimed for disease prevention and health promotion in urban areas at risk, with the objective of reducing environmental and health inequalities.

[ES] Las preocupaciones ambientales y de salud han estimulado el interés en estrategias alternativas para el manejo de las malas hierbas. En todo el mundo se están haciendo esfuerzos para reducir la gran dependencia de los herbicidas sintéticos que se utilizan como principal método para el control de las plantas arvenses. Los herbicidas naturales basados en sustancias alelopáticas, como los aceites esenciales (AEs) extraídos de plantas, se han sugerido como una de las posibles alternativas para lograr un manejo sostenible de las arvenses. Por un lado, los AEs han mostrado capacidad para inhibir la germinación y el crecimiento de semillas de malas hierbas, por otro lado, hay una falta de estudios sobre los efectos de tales sustancias sobre los microorganismos del suelo. Por lo tanto, en esta tesis se ha investigado la actividad fitotóxica y herbicida de los AEs extraídos de plantas mediterráneas para determinar su potencial como herbicidas naturales. Se han ensayado los efectos de AEs, así como de otros extractos de plantas como hidrolatos, extractos acuosos y hojas frescas obtenidas de plantas mediterráneas, sobre los microorganismos del suelo. Las especies donadoras de AEs fueron seleccionadas en base a conocimientos previos del grupo de investigación, y de acuerdo con la bibliografía existente sobre la actividad herbicida de metabolitos secundarios de estas especies o de especies que están taxonómicamente estrechamente relacionadas: Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., Eucalyptus occidentalis Endl., Eucalyptus globulus Labill., Eucalyptus torquata Luehm., Eucalyptus lesoufii Maiden, Thymbra capitata (L.) Cav., Mentha × piperita L. y Santolina chamaecyparissus L. Como malas hierbas objetivo se seleccionaron dos monocotiledóneas, Avena fatua L. y Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv. y dos dicotiledóneas, Portulaca oleracea L. y Amaranthus retroflexus L. La composición de los AEs se analizó mediante Cromatografía de gases (CG) y Cromatografía de gases-Espectrometría de masas (CG-EM). Los ensayos in vitro se realizaron en cámaras de germinación, para evaluar los efectos fitotóxicos de los AEs sobre la germinación y el crecimiento de las plántulas. Los ensayos in vivo se realizaron en condiciones de invernadero, los AEs se aplicaron emulsionados con Fitoil mediante riego. El estudio de los efectos sobre los microorganismos del suelo se realizó en el laboratorio en macetas donde los suelos se trataron con los AEs y extractos de hojas y luego se incubaron a temperatura ambiente (20-23 ° C). Los ensayos in vitro revelaron que todos los AEs mostraron efectividad contra las malas hierbas ensayadas. Entre ellos, T. capitata fue el más eficaz. A las dosis más bajas, bloqueó completamente la germinación de todas las semillas. Los ensayos en invernadero demostraron la actividad herbicida de T. capitata, M. piperita y S. chamaecyparissus, aumentando su fitotoxicidad con la dosis. T. capitata fue el AE más eficaz contra todas las malas hierbas a la dosis máxima y P. oleracea fue la especie más resistente. Los microorganismos del suelo, después de un período transitorio de agitación, generalmente recuperaron su función y biomasa iniciales. Solo el AE de T. capitata a la dosis más alta no permitió que los microorganismos del suelo recuperaran completamente su funcionalidad inicial. La aplicación de extractos de hojas al suelo proporcionó evidencia de que las hojas de eucalipto y sus extractos (AE, hidrolatos y extractos acuosos), afectaron a la comunidad microbiana del suelo de diferente modo, dependiéndose de la especie de Eucalyptus considerada. Hasta el momento, los resultados permiten sugerir la aplicación de los Aes como bioherbicidas en entornos controlados y en condiciones de invernadero. Se debe identificar la dosis óptima de aplicación para controlar las malas hierbas y simultáneamente, no afectar negativamente a los microorganismos del suelo.<br>[CA] Les preocupacions ambientals i de salut han estimulat l'interès per estratègies alternatives de gestió de les males herbes.

Els OEs han mostrat capacitat per inhibir la germinació i el creixement de llavors de males herbes, però per altra banda, falten estudis sobre els efectes d'aquestes substàncies sobre els microorganismes del sòl. En aquesta tesi es van investigar les activitats fitotòxiques i herbicides dels OE extrets d'herbes mediterrànies per a un ús potencial com a herbicides naturals. A més, es van provar els efectes d'aquests OE i d'altres extractes vegetals, com hidrolats, extractes aquosos i fulles fresques obtingudes d'herbes mediterrànies sobre els microorganismes del sòl. Les espècies donants d'OEs es van seleccionar bassant-se en la experiencia previa del grup d'investigació i en la bibliografía existent sobre les activitats biològiques dels metabòlits secundaris d'aquestes espècies: Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., Eucalyptus occidentalis Endl., Eucalyptus globulus Labill., Eucalyptus torquata Luehm., Eucalyptus lesoufii Maiden, Thymbra capitata (L.)

La composició dels OEs es va analitzar mitjançant Cromatografia de gasos (CG) i Cromatografia de gasos-espectrometria de mases (CG-EM). Els assajos in vitro es van realitzar en cambres de germinació per avaluar els efectes dels OEs sobre la germinació i el creixement de les plàntules. Els assajos in vivo es van realitzar en condicions d'hivernacle, on es van aplicar per reg els OEs emulsionats amb Fitoil a les males herbes. L'estudi dels efectes dels OEs sobre els microorganismes del sòl es van realitzar en un experiment en tiestos en condicions de laboratori, en el qual els sòls van ser tractats amb els OEs i els extractes de fulles i després van ser incubats a temperatura ambient (20-23 ° C). Els resultats dels assaigs in vitro van revelar que tots els OE van mostrar efectivitat contra les males herbes objectiu. Entre tots ells, T. capitata va ser el més eficaç. A dosis més baixes, va bloquejar completament la germinació de tots les llavors. Els assaigs en hivernacle van demostrar l'activitat herbicida de T. capitata, M. piperita i S. chamaecyparissus, augmentant la seva fitotoxicitat amb la dosi. T. capitata va ser l'OE més eficaç contra totes les males herbes a la dosi màxima i P. oleracea va ser la mala herba més resistent. Els microorganismes del sòl, després d'un període de trastorn transitori, en general van recuperar la seva funció inicial i la seva biomassa. Només l'oli de T. capitata, a la dosi més alta no va permetre als microorganismes del sòl recuperar completament la seva funcionalitat inicial. Els resultats de l'aplicació d'extractes de fulles al sòl van demostrar que les fulles d'eucaliptus i els seus extractes (OEs, hidrolats i extractes aquosos), afecten la comunitat microbiana del sòl de diferents maneres, depenien de les espècies d'eucaliptus. Fins ara, els resultats obtinguts fan possible suggerir l'aplicació d'EOs com a bioherbicides en entorns controlats com l'horticultura i en condicions d'hivernacle, però s'ha d'identificar la dosi òptima d'aplicació per controlar les males herbes i simultàniament, no afectar negativament els microorganismes del sòl.<br>[EN] Environmental and health concerns caused for traditional crop protection systems have stimulated interest in alternative weed management strategies. Worldwide, efforts are being made to reduce the heavy reliance on synthetic herbicides that are used to control weeds. Natural herbicides based on allelopathic substances, such as volatile essential oils (EOs) extracted from plants, has been suggested to be one of the possible alternatives for achieving sustainable weed management. From one hand, EOs have shown ability to inhibit weeds seed germination and growth, on the other hand there is a lack of studies about the effects of such substances on soil microorganisms. Therefore, in this thesis the phytotoxic and herbicidal activities of EOs extracted from Mediterranean plants were investigated for their potential use as natural herbicides. The effects of EOs, as well as, of other plant extracts, such as hydrolates, aqueous extracts and fresh leaves obtained from Mediterranean plants, were tested on soil microorganisms. The donor species of EOs were selected based on previous experience of the research group and according to the current literature about the herbicidal activities of the secondary metabolites of these species or from species that are taxonomically closely related: Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., Eucalyptus occidentalis Endl., Eucalyptus globulus Labill., Eucalyptus torquata Luehm., Eucalyptus lesoufii Maiden, Thymbra capitata (L.) Cav., Mentha × piperita L. and Santolina chamaecyparissus L. The target weeds were two monocotyledons, Avena fatua L. and Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv, and two dicotyledons, Portulaca oleracea L. and Amaranthus retroflexus L. EOs composition was analyzed by means of Gas Chromatography (GC) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The in vitro assays were performed in germination chambers, to assess the effects of EOs on weed seed germination and seedling growth. The in vivo trials were conducted in greenhouse conditions, where EOs emulsified by Fitoil were applied on weed species by watering. The study of EOs effects on soil microorganisms was carried out in a laboratory pot experiment, where soils were treated with EOs and leaf extracts and then incubated at room temperature (20-23°C). Results obtained from the in vitro bioassays revealed that all used EOs displayed of effectiveness against assayed weeds, controlling completely their germination process or reducing it and significantly inhibiting their seedling growth. Among them, T. capitata was the most effective. At lower doses, it blocked completely the seed germination of A. retroflexus, P. olecerea, A. fatua and E. crus-galli. Greenhouse trials demonstrated herbicidal activity of T. capitata, M. piperita and S. chamaecyparissus, increasing their phytotoxicity with the dose. T. capitata was the most effective against all weeds at the maximum dose and P. oleracea was the most resistant weed. Soil microorganisms, after a transient upheaval period, induced by the addition of EOs, generally recovered their initial function and biomass. Only T. capitata EO at the highest dose did not allow soil microorganisms to completely recover their initial functionality. Results of leaf extracts application on soil provided evidence that Eucalyptus leaves and their extracts (EOs, hydrolates and aqueous extracts), affected soil microbial community in different ways, and those effects were dependent on the Eucalyptus species. So far, the results obtained make feasible to suggest EOs application as bio-herbicides in controlled environments, such as horticulture and in greenhouse conditions. However, the optimum dose of application must be determined, to control weeds and simultaneously, not negatively affect soil microorganisms.<br>Jouini, A. (2020).

Abstract:
Challenges to the reclamation of pyritic mine tailings arise from in-situ acid generation that severely constrains natural revegetation. While microbial communities that participate in acid generation through iron and sulfur (FeS) oxidation in acidic aquatic environments are well studied, relatively little information is available concerning the initial dynamics of in-situ soil acidification due to microbial FeS oxidation that occur in moderately acidic conditions. This research characterizes the taxonomic composition and behavior of microbial FeS oxidizing communities across a pH gradient from moderately acidic to highly acidic environmental conditions. We combine results from a 7-year compost-assisted phytostabilization field study with a controlled microcosm enrichment experiment that was conducted in an artificial soil matrix to follow the influence of pH on development of the soil microbiome. Microcosm results show that biological activity significantly increases the acidification rate in moderately acidic pH conditions in comparison to abiotic controls. Taxonomic profiles of the microbial communities in the microcosms and from the field study reveal that populations associated with both heterotrophic and lithotrophic activity (Alicyclobacillaceae, Acetobacteraceae and Xanthomonadaceae) dominate during acidification in moderately acidic conditions. These results suggest that chemoheterotrophs are an important element of the microbial community that help enable, directly and indirectly, lithotrophic FeS oxidation across moderately acidic conditions. Taken together, this research suggests that shifts of microbial populations associated with pH transitions have the potential to be used as bioindicators of the present and future status of the phytostabilization process.

Abstract:
A qualidade do solo está relacionada ao seu funcionamento e é mensurada por indicadores físicos e químicos, como também por organismos, os quais desempenham as mais variadas funções ecossistêmicas. A diversidade da pedofauna nos ecossistemas pode ser afetada por vários fatores, justamente por esses invertebrados serem sensíveis às mudanças ambientais. A pesquisa avaliou a qualidade de solos de fragmentos florestais urbanos na cidade de São Paulo, especificamente nos parques Cientec, Cantareira e Jaraguá, utilizando espécies de minhocas como bioindicadoras. Foi realizada nas áreas de estudo uma coleta concentrada no inverno (09/2014; 10/2014) em ambientes seco e úmido, com o objetivo de verificar a diversidade, ocorrência, biomassa (g.m²) e densidade (Ind.m²) dos indivíduos coletados e sua relação com as variações ambientais, especialmente com a temperatura do solo, profundidade do solo, presença e ausência de drenagem na parcela e atributos químicos como, pH, C.O, K, P, Ca, Mg e Al. Delimitou-se aleatoriamente, em ambiente seco e úmido, uma área fixa de 1,7 hectare por parcela amostral, onde foram amostrados nove TSBF por ambiente, com espaçamento de 30 m entre cada ponto e 20 m de bordadura, totalizando 54 pontos amostrais. Os exemplares de pedofauna subsuperficial foram capturados pela técnica TSBF (Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility), que consiste em monólitos de 30x30 de largura e 30 cm de profundidade. Após a triagem do solo os exemplares foram colocados em soluções de álcool 92%, e posteriormente, mensurados estatisticamente pelos índices de diversidade, equabilidade, e biomassa; por fim, foram identificados ao nível de espécie, as minhocas, e ao nível de família e gênero, as classes arachnida, coleoptera, quilopoda e diplopoda. Nos mesmos pontos do TSBF foram coletadas amostras de solo para a análise dos atributos químicos, assim como foram utilizados dados climáticos para avaliação de atributos físicos, que serviram como variáveis ambientais explicativas. Dos atributos climáticos, nos meses analisados a precipitação mensal não atingiu 70 mm e, em geral, ficou abaixo da média climatológica, caracterizando um período extremamente seco. Encontrou-se uma correlação positiva entre temperatura do solo, diversidade ecológica funcional, distribuição vertical no solo, hábito alimentar e dinâmica de biopedoturbação das minhocas. A umidade do solo influenciou diretamente ocorrência de Ind.m², além de favorecer espécies e gêneros específicos. Na análise de parâmetros químicos, a diminuição da acidez do solo, o aumento do teor de C.O e elevada disponibilidade de macronutrientes influenciaram no aumento de Ind.m² e o que justifica os 159 Ind.m² em ambiente seco e 148 Ind. m² em ambiente úmido para o Parque Jaraguá, representando 46% do total de exemplares coletados. O parque Cientec e Cantareira apresentaram solos muito ácidos e menores índices de C.O e macronutrientes se comparados com o parque Jaraguá, totalizando 24% e 30% dos exemplares coletados. Os índices bioestatísticos apontaram que as minhocas foram predominantes, tanto em densidade (minhocas.m²) quanto em biomassa (g.m²) dentre toda a macrofauna edáfica coletada e confirmaram que as variáveis químicas e climáticas do solo tem maior relevância para explicar a diversidade, ocorrência, biomassa e densidade de minhocas e consequentemente, as funções ecossistêmicas desempenhadas pelas mesmas.<br>Soil quality is related to its functioning and is measured by physical and chemical indicators, but also by organisms inserted therein, which play the most diverse ecosystem functions. The diversity of soil macrofauna in ecosystems can be affected by many factors, due these organisms being sensitive to environmental changes. The research evaluated the quality of urban forest fragments soils in São Paulo, specifically in Cientec, Cantareira and Jaraguá parks, using earthworms as bioindicators. It was performed at study sites a concentrated collection in winter (09/2014, 10/2014), in dry and wet environments, in order to assess the diversity, occurrence, biomass and density of individuals collected in accordance with variations in environment ,especially with soil temperature, soil depth, presence and absence of the drainage portion and chemical attributes such as , pH, O.C, K, Ca, Mg and Al. Delimited randomly, in a dry and humid environment a fixed area of 1.7 hectare per plot sample, where was sampled nine TSBF per environment, with spacing of 30 m between each point and 20 m margin, totaling 54 sampling points. Exemplary subsurface pedofauna were captured by adapted TSBF technique (Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility) consisting of monoliths 30x30 wide and 30 cm deep. After the soil screening the specimens were fixed in 92% alcohol solution and subsequently measured statistically by the diversity index, equability, and biomass; finally, were identified to species level, earthworms, and the family level and genus, the arachnida, coleoptera, quilopoda and diplopoda classes. In the same points of TSBF soil samples were collected for analysis of chemical attributes, as well as climate data were used for evaluation of physical attributes, which served as explanatory environmental variables. About the climatic attributes in the analyzed months, the monthly rainfall did not reach 70 mm and, in general, was below the climatological average, featuring an extremely dry period. It was found a positive correlation between soil temperature, functional ecological diversity, vertical distribution in the soil, feeding habits and dynamics of bioturbation of earthworms. Soil moisture directly influenced the frequency Ind.m², besides favoring specific genus and species. In the analysis of chemical parameters, the reduction of soil acidity, increased O.C. content and the high nutrient availability influenced the increase of Ind.m² which explains the 159 ind.m² in dry conditions and 148 ind. m² in a humid environment for the Jaraguá park, representing 46% of all copies of the collection TSBF. The Cientec and Cantareira park had more acidic and lower rates of soil organic carbon and macronutrients if compared to the Jaraguá park, totaling 24% and 30% of the collected specimens. The biostatisticians indexes pointed out that the worms were prevalent in both density (earthworms.m²) and biomass (g.m²), among all the soil macrofauna collected in contrasting environments and sites and confirmed that chemical soil and climatic variables have greater relevance to explain the diversity, occurrence, biomass and density of earthworms and consequently the ecosystem functions performed by them.

Goiás stands out in this process, but is now among the three states with the largest cultivated area and production. South mesoregion excels, especially micro-Quirinopolis (MRQ), where the process began in 2004, replacing grain areas and pastures. This research aims to analyze the influence of different management practice in the cultivation of cane sugar in the MRQ, using sensitive biological and physico-chemical indicators of water quality and soil, to contribute to sustainable models with parameters that sugarcane expansion. Eight sampling sites were selected in areas occupied by soil type Red Oxisol dystrophyc and distroferric, with previous uses of soybeans, pasture and pasture / soybean, and in parallel, two profiles as a reference, with native vegetation, the type Semidecidual Forest, once dominant. Were also selected two stocks next crop of sugar cane, collections with the Montate and downstream of each channel. Descriptions and Samples of soil and water were carried out in September 2010 and March 2011. Proceeded physical, chemical and biological analysis of soil and water by applying methods of Pedology, Biology and Ecology. It was concluded that different agricultural practices directly influence the dynamics of soil and water, unbalancing the biota, due to change in their physico-chemical and biological attributes that succession soy / sugar use biomarkers showed. The same applies to the water, but these can not yet be regarded as polluted by CONAMA parameters.<br>A expansão da cultura da cana-de-açúcar no Brasil vem sendo impulsionada em direção à região Centro-Oeste brasileira, em particular para os estados de Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) e Goiás (GO), desde o final do século passado. Goiás se destaca nesse processo, estando hoje entre os três estados com maior área cultivada e produção. A mesorregião sul se sobressai, sobretudo a microrregião de Quirinópolis (MRQ), onde o processo se iniciou em 2004, substituindo áreas de grãos e pastos. Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar a influência das diferentes práticas de manejos no cultivo de cana-deaçúcar na MRQ, utilizando-se de indicadores biológicos e físico-químicos sensíveis, a qualidade da água e dos solos, visando contribuir com parâmetros para modelos sustentáveis dessa expansão canavieira. Foram selecionados oito sítios amostrais em áreas ocupadas por solos do tipo Latossolo Vermelho Distrófico e Distroférrico, com usos anteriores de soja, pasto e pasto/soja, e paralelamente, mais dois perfis como referência, com vegetação nativa, do tipo Floresta Semidecidual, antes dominante. Também foram selecionados dois mananciais próximos da cultura de cana-de-açúcar, com coletas a montate e a jusante de cada canal. As descrições e coletas de amostras de solos e águas foram realizadas em setembro 2010 e março de 2011. Procedeu-se análise físicas, químicas e biológicas de solos e águas aplicando métodos de Pedologia, Ecologia e Biologia. Concluiu-se que as diferentes práticas agrícolas influenciam diretamente na dinâmica do solo e da água, desequilibrando as biotas, devido modificação nos seus atributos físico-químicos e biológicos e que a sucessão de uso soja/cana evidenciou bioindicadores. O mesmo se aplica à água, embora estas ainda não possam ser consideradas poluídas segundo parâmetros do CONAMA.

Abstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>The Crop Livestock Integration System (ILP) is based on diversification, rotation, intercropping and/or succession of agriculture and livestock activities within the rural property. The aim of the study was to evaluated if different grazing intensities applied in the ILP change soil fauna diversity and activity, thus identifying soil quality indicators in soils under ILP systems. The experimental area consisted of 14 plots, where treatments are based on four grazing intensities (10, 20, 30 and 40 cm) regulated from the pasture height and distributed in an experimental design of randomized blocks. It was used three replicates, and two areas of ungrazed blocks as reference areas. Sampling was performed by five points to mites and nine points for the eartworms in each plot, pre-set by the use locations on a grid, with the same measurements, regardless of the size of plots, after grazing of cattle and after soybean harvest. Funnel Berleze-Tullgren Modified was assessed to verify the presence of edaphic mites. The Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility methodology (TSBF) was carried out to collected earthworms. The total mites density is favored by the 20cm height in after grazing of cattle in ILP system. In the assessment, there is a greater diversity of mites families (Upododidae, Pachilaelapidae, Nothridae, Phthiracaridae, Galumnidae, Oribatidae, Trombiculidae, Cunaxidae four unidentified) after soybean cultivation. The presence of earthworms were highest after soybean cultivation and of in 10-20cm deep layer on Integration Livestock System. The presence of two families of Glossoscolecidae and Ocnerodrilidae worms were verified in ILP area, with different grazing intensities. Moreover, the first occurrence of the species Eukerria michaelsen was recorded in the Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil.<br>O sistema de Integração Lavoura Pecuária (ILP) é baseado na diversificação, rotação, consorciação e/ou sucessão das atividades de agricultura e de pecuária dentro da propriedade rural. Este trabalho tem por objetivo estudar influencia de diferentes intensidades de pastejo aplicadas na ILP, após colheita da soja e após saído dos bovinos, na ocorrência de ácaros edáficos e minhocas. A área experimental foi composta de 14 parcelas, onde os tratamentos baseiam-se em quatro intensidades de pastejo (10, 20, 30 e 40 cm) reguladas a partir da altura da pastagem. As parcelas são distribuídas em um delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com três repetições, e duas áreas entre blocos sem pastejo, como áreas de referência. A amostragem foi realizada em cinco pontos para os ácaros e nove pontos para as minhocas em cada parcela, em locais pré-estabelecidos pelo uso de um grid, com as mesmas medidas, independente do tamanho da parcela, após o pastejo dos bovinos e após a colheita da soja. Para avaliação da presença dos ácaros edáficos utilizou-se Funil de Berleze-Tullgren Modificado. Para as minhocas foram coletadas por meio da metodologia do Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility (TSBF). A densidade total de ácaros é favorecida pela altura de 20cm no após pastejo dos bovinos no sistema ILP. Na avaliação, após o cultivo de soja, há uma maior diversidade de famílias de ácaros (Upododidae, Pachilaelapidae, Nothridae, Phthiracaridae, Galumnidae, Oribatidae, Trombiculidae, Cunaxidae e quatro morfotipos não identificados). Para a presença de minhocas há uma maior abundância após cultivo da soja na profundidade de 10-20cm no sistema estudado.

Abstract:
Le sol représente le support de la production agricole. A l’interface avec les autres compartiments de la biosphère, il remplit de nombreuses fonctions essentielles à la fourniture de services écosystémiques nécessaires au bien-être de nos sociétés. C’est aussi une ressource non renouvelable dont les propriétés physicochimiques et biologiques ont été altérées par le développement de l’agriculture intensive. La prise de conscience actuelle de cet état de fait a révélé la nécessité de définir de nouveaux modes de gestion adaptés à la préservation et à l’utilisation durable des sols. Elle a ainsi marqué l’entrée dans l’ère de l’agroécologie qui prône un modèle de production optimisant notamment les services rendus par la biodiversité afin de réduire le recours aux intrants et à l’utilisation d’énergie. Pour atteindre cet objectif, le développement d’une gamme d’indicateurs permettant d’évaluer les pratiques/systèmes agricoles en rendant compte de la qualité biologique du sol est donc indispensable. Cette thèse, dont l’objectif est de contribuer au développement de bioindicateurs microbiens de la qualité du sol, s’inscrit dans ce contexte agroécologique. Le choix de travailler sur les communautés microbiennes se justifie pleinement dans cette problématique car elles sont (i) présentes avec une forte densité et diversité dans tous les environnements, (ii) fortement impliquées dans le fonctionnement biologique et les services rendus par le sol, et (iii) elles répondent de façon très sensible aux changements des conditions environnementales en termes de modification de biomasse, de structure/diversité et d’activité. Elles offrent donc un potentiel important en termes de développement de bioindicateurs. Ce travail a porté plus précisément sur l’évaluation de deux indicateurs complémentaires : (i) la biomasse moléculaire microbienne et (ii) la diversité taxonomique microbienne. Dans une première partie nous avons éprouvé la robustesse de ces deux indicateurs en évaluant les biais associés à chacune des étapes techniques des procédures mises en œuvre pour leur mesure. Nous avons ensuite utilisé ces deux indicateurs dans différents contextes agronomiques pour évaluer leur pertinence. Un premier travail a ainsi consisté à suivre la réhabilitation du patrimoine microbien, par l’implantation d’une culture à vocation énergétique, d’un sol pollué irrigué pendant une centaine d’années par des eaux usées. Une seconde application a porté sur l’étude de l’impact de différentes pratiques agricoles sur les communautés microbiennes selon l’intensité du travail du sol (labour vs. travail réduit), la gestion des résidus de culture (export vs. restitution), et le type de culture (annuelle vs. pérenne).Les résultats montrent que la biomasse moléculaire microbienne et la diversité taxonomique obtenue par séquençage massif sont deux bioindicateurs robustes et sensibles pour décrire la qualité microbiologique des sols agricoles dans des contextes très variés. Ces deux indicateurs permettent de mettre en évidence aussi bien des perturbations des sols que l’impact positif de pratiques innovantes. Ils peuvent donc représenter des outils performants pour l’évaluation des systèmes agricoles, aidant à une amélioration de leur mode de gestion et, à long terme, permettant une utilisation durable des ressources fournies par ces sols<br>Soil is the support of agricultural production. It performs many functions essential to the provision of ecosystem services necessary for the well-being of our societies. Soil physicochemical and biological properties have been altered by the development of intensive agriculture while it is a non-renewable resource, revealing the need to develop new management practices suitable for the sustainability of soil quality. This also marked the entry into the “Agroecology” era, which promotes the development of new agricultural systems optimizing services provided by biodiversity to reduce the use of inputs and energy use. To achieve this aim, the development of a range of indicators to assess the impact of agricultural practices on the biological quality of the soil is essential. This thesis, which aims to contribute to the development of microbial bio-indicators of soil quality, is a part of this agroecological context. The choice to work on microbial communities is fully justified because they are (i) present with a high abundance and diversity in all environments, (ii) heavily involved in biological functioning and the soil ecosystem services, (iii) they respond very sensitive to changes in environmental conditions in terms of biomass, diversity and activity. They therefore have significant potential in terms of bio-indicators of development. This work has focused specifically on the evaluation of two complementary bioindicators: (i) the microbial molecular biomass and (ii) the microbial taxonomic diversity. In a first part we tested the robustness of these two bioindicators by assessing the biases associated with each of the procedure technical steps used for their measurement. We then used these bioindicators in different agricultural contexts to assess their sensitivity. A first work has followed the rehabilitation of microbial patrimony of a polluted soil irrigated for a hundred years by sewage, by implanting a bioenergy crop. A second application has focused on the impact of different agricultural practices on microbial communities depending on the intensity of tillage (tillage vs. reduced tillage), management of crop residues (export vs. restitution), and the crop type (annual vs. perennial). Results highlighted that microbial molecular biomass and microbial taxonomic diversity achieved by high throughput sequencing are both robust and sensitive bioindicators to describe the microbiological quality of agricultural soils in very different contexts. Both bioindicators allow evidencing soil disturbances but also the positive impact of innovative practices. They may therefore represent powerful tools for the assessment of agricultural systems, helping to improve their long term management, allowing a sustainable use of resources provided by soils

Abstract:
Microorganisms are the most important bioindicators of the environment and ecological risk assessment. The impact of the no-till farming system in combination with microbial preparations needs to be studied and is an urgent task aimed at preserving fertility. The aim of our study was to determine the effect of pre-sowing inoculation with complex microbial preparations (CMP) and farming systems (no-till and conventional farming system) on the microbocenosis of the rhizosphere of Triticum aestivum L. in the Crimean Steppe. Microbiological analysis of the rhizosphere showed a significant increase in the number of actinobacteria (twice). The number of micromycetes, among which there are many pathogens of various plant diseases, decreased under direct sowing by 23 % as a result of inoculation and amounted to 21.5 thousand CFU/g of soil. The number of cellulose-destroying microorganisms that form soil fertility increased under the influence of microbial preparations by 23 % under conventional farming system (10.0 thousand CFU/g of soil); by 20 % under no-till (15.4 thousand CFU/g of soil). Thus, it was found that the use of microbial preparations under both farming techniques contributed to an increase in the number of microorganisms of most ecological-trophic groups that participate in the transformation of nitrogen in the rhizosphere, enhanced enzymatic processes, reduced the development of pathogenic microbiota and, consequently, contributed to improving the state of soil biocenosis.
