Decomposition of sulicorniu subterminalis in caimanero lagoon, mexico

Salicornia subterminalis, entre otras halofitas, ha sido considerada como una de las fuentes de materia organica y nutrimentos mas importantes en el sistema lagunar de Huizache-Caimanero. En el presente estudio se evaluo (1) la composicion quimica proximal, que aporto los siguientes resultados: 27.1% C, 2.95% N y 0.15% P, que equivale a una proporcion atomica de C455:N43:P1, y (2) el proceso de descomposicion de esta halofita, en donde el 60% de nitrogeno fue lixiviado en los primeros tres dias, mientras que 39.6% de fosforo fue lixiviado en 24 h, con un tota1 de 46.8% despues de tres dias; el resto permanecio como materia particulada. Las proporciones de C:N y C:P aumentaron de 10.7 y 49.4 a 455 y 1531, respectivamente; despues de 17 dias se registro una disminucion a 38.4 en la primera y 952 en la segunda proporcion, como resultado de una inmovilizacion ionica. Together with other halophytes, Salicornia subterminalis is one of the most important sources of organic matter and nutrients in the Huizache-Caimanero lagoon system. This study evaluates (1) the proximal chemical composition, which provided the following results: 27.1% C, 2.95% N and 0.15% P, corresponding to an atomic ratio of C455:N43:P1, and (2) the decomposition process of this halophyte, by which 60% of the nitrogen was leached in the first three days, 39.6% of the phosphorus was leached in 24 h and 46.8% after three days, and the rest remained as particulate matter. The C:N and C:P ratios increased from 10.7 and 49.4 to 455 and 1531, respectively, and after 17 days decreased to 38.4 and 952, respectively, as a result of ionic immobilization.
