          Abstract

          ABSTRACT The Atlantic Forest is home to the largest urban centers in Brazil, which modify various aspects of the natural quality of this forest. Soil chemical elements from three different sites in the Atlantic Forest in the state of Rio de Janeiro were analyzed: (1) the best-preserved remnant of Atlantic Forest in the state; (2) the largest urban forest in the world; and (3) an arboretum along the main vehicle route in the second-largest city in Brazil. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis detected sixteen chemical elements including nutrient components and potentially toxic elements. The urban soil had a higher concentration of heavy metals. There was a significant concentration gradient of copper and lead from the urban site to the furthest forest site. We emphasize that the results indicate potential negative consequences for the conservation of forests and wildlife of state of Rio de Janeiro.

          RESUMO A Mata Atlântica abriga os maiores centros urbanos do Brasil e esses centros modificam vários aspectos da qualidade natural dessa floresta. Neste estudo, elementos químicos do solo em três diferentes locais da Mata Atlântica no Estado do Rio de Janeiro foram analisados: (1) o remanescente mais bem preservado de Mata Atlântica no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, (2) a maior floresta urbana do mundo, e (3) um arboreto junto à principal rota de veículos da segunda maior cidade do Brasil. A análise de Fluorescência de Raios X por Dispersão de Energia detectou dezesseis elementos químicos, entre componentes de nutrientes e elementos potencialmente tóxicos. O solo urbano apresentou maior concentração de metais pesados. O cobre e o chumbo exibiram um gradiente de concentração significativo do sítio urbano ao sítio florestal mais distante dele. Destacamos que os resultados encontrados podem ter consequências negativas para a conservação das florestas e da fauna silvestre do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.
