11 янв. 2024 г. · Rainforest soils are often of poor quality, with low concentrations of nutrients including carbon, nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus.

21 нояб. 2024 г. · Recent research indicates that a large fraction of P in tropical forests exists as organic and microbial P in the soil ; plant adaptations to ...

The majority of nutrients in the tropical rainforest are stored in biomass. Biomass is all the living things in an ecosystem, including plants and animals.

According to this hypothesis, nearly all the biologically available P in tropical forests should be sequestered in plant biomass.

5 июл. 2006 г. · We conducted a field-fertilization experiment to show that P fertilization stimulates soil respiration in a lowland tropical rain forest in Costa Rica.

The proportion which is lost is replaced through nutrients imported to the site largely in rainfall.

31 июл. 2012 г. · In the rainforest, most of the carbon and essential nutrients are locked up in the living vegetation, dead wood, and decaying leaves.

Litter-induced pulses of nutrient availability could play an important role in the productivity and nutrient cycling of forested ecosystems, especially tropical ...
