RESUMO:

The development of easy-to-observe measures of successful restoration is essential for
monitoring from ambitious goals proposed by the global restoration (eg Bonn
Challenge, New York Declaration on Forests). Among the arthropods, ants have a long
history of environmental monitoring. An important task of ecological studies is to
understand and quantify environmental factors that influence species distribution. Ants
compose a large proportion of biomass in ecosystems; and has a long history of
environmental monitoring. Therefore, the general objective of this work is to analyze
the effects of tree species used for the restoration of degraded soils in the structure of
the ants assembly and their effects along the restoration time gradient. Initially we did a
meta-analysis with global works that approach ants as bioindicators in areas with
different stages of succession. As a second step, we sampled ants under a total of 46
individuals in four target species (23 leguminous and 23 not-leguminous). As a result of
the meta - analysis, the recovery of ant diversity was faster in tropical than in temperate
ecosystems. Restoration of ant functional groups occurred faster than species richness.
Trends in species composition and functional groups were less predictable than in
species richness and functional groups. According to the second chapter, functional
species and groups of trees influenced the arthropod community, but did not influence
the ant community.
