| 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 plantations on N cycling is scarce. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the replacement of a Nothofagus obliqua native forest by a Pinus radiata plantation in southern Chile on the chemistry of throughfall, stemflow, soil water infiltration and percolation. Pinus radiata stemflow was more acidic (pH 4.7) than precipitation (pH 5.2) and throughfall (pH 5.6), while in the Nothofagus forest stemflow and throughfall pH were 6.3 and 6.1, respectively. In the... |
