Contenidos de nitrógeno y fósforo del suelo ante un cambio de cobertura y condición topográfica by S.I. Besteiro, A.I.B. Descalzo

“…Los resultados obtenidos revelan que los contenidos de fósforo disponible se vieron afectados de forma significativa por los cambios de cobertura del suelo (p-value< 4,00e-06) y la condición topográfica (p-value< 2,55e-06), de modo tal que los mayores contenidos de este nutriente se encuentran en bajas situaciones y cobertura forestal. En cambio, los contenidos de nitrógeno total respondieron únicamente a un cambio de la cobertura (p-value< 1,01e-05), hallándose en mayor proporción bajo las forestaciones. …”
