Linking nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics in litter production and decomposition during secondary forest succession in the eastern Amazon

Land-use change, including tropical deforestation for agriculture and subsequent agricultural abandonment, may change the stoichiometry of nutrient cycling in tropical secondary forests relative to mature forests. While phosphorus (P) is conservatively cycled in these mature forests, nitrogen (N) lo...
