NUTRIENTES NA SERAPILHEIRA EM UM FRAGMENTO DE FLORESTA ESTACIONAL DECIDUAL, ITAARA, RS
The aim of the present study was to quantity aboveground mass and nutrients in a deciduous seasonal forest fragment in the district of Itaara, RS, Brazil. For quantification and fractionation of the litter, sampling was carried out using two methodologies: the first one for leaves and branches with...
