Abstract

Abstract:: Aim: To evaluate the general situation of studies on the decomposition of organic matter in aquatic environments in the subtropical region of South America.

Methods: We compiled publications (1990-2018) with a combination of words referring to decomposition, debris, aquatic environments and South American countries with subtropical climate. The characteristics of the publications were analysed over time.

Results: A total of 1,042 publications were found, with 106 specifically addressing the purpose of this study. For subtropical climates in South America, this research topic is incipient. Most studies were carried out in streams (39.6%) and studied the decomposition process and associated invertebrates (42.5%). There is a great deficiency of studies in lentic environments (e.g. lakes, 10%).

Conclusion: Studies on the decomposition of organic detritus in aquatic ecosystems in the subtropical region of South America are still emerging. While the knowledge about the role of shredders is more or less understood, the importance of microorganisms on the decomposition process still needs to be better evaluated. Finally, our study demonstrated that scientific collaboration boosted publication on the topic.

Resumo

Resumo:: Objetivo: Avaliar a situação geral dos estudos sobre a decomposição da matéria orgânica vegetal em ambientes aquáticos continentais da região subtropical da América do Sul.

Métodos: Utilizamos bancos de dados e compilamos publicações (1990-2018) utilizando combinações de palavras referentes à decomposição, detritos, ambientes aquáticos e países da América do Sul com clima subtropical. As características das publicações foram analisadas ao longo do tempo.

Resultados: Um total de 1.042 publicações foram encontradas, com 106 tratando especificamente do objetivo deste estudo. Em clima subtropical na América do Sul este tópico de pesquisa é incipiente. A maioria dos estudos foi realizada em riachos (39,6%) e avaliou o processo de decomposição e a associação de invertebrados (42,5%). Há uma grande deficiência em estudos realizados em ambientes lênticos (e.g. lagos, 10%).

Conclusão: Os estudos sobre a decomposição de detritos orgânicos em ecossistemas aquáticos na região subtropical da América do Sul são ainda emergentes. Enquanto o conhecimento sobre o papel dos fragmentadores é razoável, poucos estudos têm avaliado a importância de microrganismos no processo de decomposição. Finalmente, nosso estudo demonstrou que as colaborações científicas impulsionaram as publicações sobre o tema.
