NITROGEN FLUXES IN THROUGHFALL AND LITTERFALL IN TWO NOTHOFAGUS FORESTS IN SOUTHERN CHILE APORTES DE NITROGENO POR LA PRECIPITACION DIRECTA Y LA CAIDA DE HOJARASCA EN DOS BOSQUES DE NOTHOFAGUS EN EL SUR DE CHILE
Nitrogen return by leaf litterfall was compared with atmospheric nitrogen deposition for two deciduous Nothofagus stands in southern Chile, located in areas with contrasting land use. The litterfall return of nitrogen in a Nothofagus alpina (Poepp. et Endl.) Oerst. stand at San Pablo de Tregua, in t...
