NITROGEN FLUXES IN A NOTHOFAGUS OBLIQUA FOREST AND A PINUS RADIATA PLANTATION IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY OF SOUTHERN CHILE

Forest structure and tree species can have a significant impact on total atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition; for example, deciduous forests have higher N requirements than coniferous forests. However, knowledge about the effect of the conversion of native Chilean vegetation cover by exotic plantati...
