Biomass and nutrient dynamics associated with deforestation, biomass burning and conversion to pasture in a tropical dry forest in Mexico

Creator:

Steele, Michael D.

Abstract:

The effects of deforestation and biomass burning in tropical dry forests (TDF) remain a little studied phenomenon. We quantified total aboveground biomass (TAGB), carbon and nutrient (N,S,Ca,P,K) loss under two separate fire severity scenarios; one early when the fuels were higher in moisture content, one later when the slash fuels...
