          Abstract

          RESUMEN Antecedentes: Los ecosistemas ganaderos requieren de serias transformaciones en los sistemas de manejo, basados en principios agroecológicos, donde la agroforestería puede jugar un importante pape. Objetivo. Caracterizar el rendimiento de follaje, hojarasca y la fauna edáfica asociada a tres especies forestales en cercas vivas en ecosistemas ganaderos sobre serpentina de Camagüey. Métodos: Se desarrolló un estudio durante dos años en áreas de la UBPC Finca Habana perteneciente a la Empresa Pecuaria Minas, Camagüey, en el mismo se utilizaron árboles de Gliricidia sepium (Jacq) Kunth ex Walp, Bursera simaruba (L) Sargent y Moringa oleifera Lam ya establecidos en cercas colindantes plantados a una distancia de 1,0 m. Se evaluó el rendimiento de follaje, la deposición de hojarasca y la macrofauna edáfica asociada a cada una de las arbóreas estudiadas. Se determinaron los estadísticos descriptivos (Media y ES) y se realizó un ANOVA simple para cada una de las variables estudiadas. Las medias se compararon a través de la prueba de rangos múltiples HSD Tukey, para un nivel de significación de p< 0,05. Resultados: Los resultados indican lo beneficioso del uso de estas especies como cercas vivas si se consideran las altas producciones de follaje (entre1,02 y 2,54 kg MS/a/corte) así como su efecto ambiental positivo al aportar al suelo altas cantidades de hojarasca, así como hospedar cantidades apreciables de fauna edáfica. Conclusiones: Las especies evaluadas producen altos niveles de forraje y hojarasca al suelo, así como una fauna edáfica asociada abundante.

          ABSTRACT Background: Cattle ecosystems require serious transformations in management systems, which rely on agroecological principles, where agroforestry can play an important role. Aim. Characterize foliage, dry leaf, and edaphic fauna associated to three forest species in hedges of cattle ecosystems, on serpentine soil, in Camagüey, Cuba. Methods: A two-year study of Gliricidia sepium (Jacq) Kunth ex Walp, Bursera simaruba (L) Sargent, and Moringa oleifera Lam was done at Cooperative Habana Farm, Minas livestock company, Camagüey. These species were established in adjacent hedges, planted at a distance of 1.0 m. Foliage yield, dry leaf deposition, and the edaphic macrofauna associated to each tree species, were evaluated. The descriptive statigraphs (Mean and SE) were determined, and simple ANOVA was performed in each variant. The means were compared through the HSD Tukey’s multiple range test, with a significance of p< 0.05. Results: The results indicate the beneficial use of these species as hedges, considering high production of foliage (between 1.02 and 2.54 kg DM/cut/a), as well as their positive environmental effects by contributing with considerable amounts of dry leaves to the soil, and host large amounts of edaphic fauna. Conclusions: The species evaluated produce high forage and dry leaf levels in the soil, as well as abundant associated edaphic fauna.
