Nitrogen return by leaf litterfall was compared with atmospheric nitrogen deposition for two deciduous Nothofagus stands in southern Chile, located in areas with contrasting land use. The litterfall return of nitrogen in a Nothofagus alpina (Poepp. et Endl.) Oerst. stand at San Pablo de Tregua, in the Cordillera de los Andes, was similar to the litterfall return in a Nothofagus obliqua (Mirb.) Oerst. stand at Paillaco, in the Central Depression. In contrast, the net throughfall and stemflow deposition differed significantly between the two stands. At San Pablo de Tregua, the annual bulk deposition of NH4+ and NO3- was significantly higher than the throughfall and stemflow deposition reaching the forest floor. This demonstrates an uptake of inorganic... |
