This research aimed to evaluate the deposition and chemical composition of the components of the existing and deposited litter in a sabiá (Mimosa caesalpiniifolia Benth) canopy. The experiment was carried out from August 2006 to July 2007. The evaluation of the existing and deposited litter was performed every 28 days using 20 squares with 1m2 randomly allocated and new areas were chosen for each evaluation. The canopy showed plants with an average diameter of 26.8 cm at breast height. Monthly […]

The decomposition dynamics and mineralization of nitrogen of fourteen residues of grasses and legumes forages varying in origin and collecting places were evaluated. Seven species were selected (B. humidicola, B. brizantha, A.pintoi, D.ovalifolium, L.leucocephala, S. guianensis and C. pubescens), based on qualitative characteristics and using the distance medium Euclidian as dissimilarities measure and then placed in erlenmeyers vases in the laboratory in an entirely randomized fashion. Decomposition data were analyzed using a split-splot design with residues in the main plot […]
