Borisade T. V., . and Odiwe A. I., . Nutrient input in litters and soil of Bambusa vulgaris stands in a secondary rainforest Ile-Ife Nigeria. pp. 195-206. ISSN 0128-1283
Abstract
Nutrient contents in litter and soil were assessed in four 0.06 ha plots of Bambusa vulgaris stands in a secondary rainforest at Ile-Ife Nigeria with a view to providing information on nutrient availability that was generally lacking in the forest ecosystem. The collected litter were sorted into leaves and twigs oven-dried at 70 C to a constant weight ground and analysed for nutrients. Leaf litter had higher concentration of Ca K Na P Mn Zn and Cu while C Mg Fe and N were higher in twig litter fall fraction. Exchangeable cations pH sand content and organic C were significantly lower (p 0.05) while total N available P silt and clay contents were higher in the soil dominated by bamboo stands. Bambusa vulgaris is a better conserver of C N and P compared to areas dominated by trees and shrubs species in the secondary forest.
