摘要
This study aimed to evaluate the production and the rate of litter decomposition in eucalypt plantations and tropical forest fragments in rainy and dry seasons in the region of Sao Joao Evangelista - MG. The work lasted 11 months and were used 10 litter collectors with sides of 50 cm - and 70 litter bags, all of them made of plastic screen. Five litter collectors were randomly placed at each area. Seven litter bags were placed nearby of each litter collector. There was a higher litter production in the forest fragment in the month of February. In the other months the litter production was higher in the eucalypts plantation. The was no difference between the rate of decomposition when comparing the two areas. The decomposition was affected by the time, only. The average time estimated for the decomposition of 100% of litter was 1398,08 days.
