Abstract

Bargali S.S. Singh R.P. 1997. Pinus patula plantations in Kumaun Himalaya. II. Nutrient dynamics. This paper deals with the nutrient dynamics in different age plantations of Pinus patula previously investigated for dry matter dynamics. The concentrations of nutrients in different vegetation layers were in the order herb more than shrub more than tree whereas the standing state of nutrients were in the order tree more than shrub more than herb. Considerable reductions (50.5 - 69 percent) in concentrations of nutrient in needles occured during senecence. The uptake of nutrients by vegetation and also by different components with and without adjustment for internal recycling was calculated separately. The amounts of nutrients returned annually to the soil through litterfall were in the ranges 33.1 -41.9 kg per ha per y for N 2.6 - 3.3 kg per ha per y for P and 10.6 - 14.1 kg per ha per y for K.
