Macronutrients, Micronutrients, EucalyptusAbstract
The study was conducted at Ãgua Limpa Farm, DF, in three vegetation types: Cerrado sensu stricto, Gallery Forest and Eucalyptus urograndis plantation. The aim was to quantify and analyze the macro and micronutrients content presented in the litter stock from these environments during the dry and rainy seasons. The litter samples were collected from September 2011 to August 2012. They were dried and the nutrients content were quantified. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design, with three replicates for each treatment. The results were evaluated by analysis of variance, Tukey test and Pearson´s correlation. The litter macronutrient content observed at the Gallery Forest and Eucalyptus plantations during the rainy season was in the following order: N > Ca > Mg > K > S > P. During the dry season, S content was higher than Mg in Eucalyptus plantation, while no differences were observed at the Gallery Forest. Macronutrients contents observed at Cerrado sensu stricto area were N > Ca > S > Mg > K > P in the rainy season and N > Ca > K > S > Mg > P in the dry season.Downloads
