Decomposition and nutrient release by green manures in a tropical hillside agroecosystem
The decomposition and nutrient release of 12 plant materials were assessed in a 20-week litterbag field study in hillsides from Cauca, Colombia. Leaves of Tithonia diversifolia (TTH) and Indigofera constricta (IND) decomposed quickly (k=0.035±0.002 d?1), while those of Cratylia argentea (CRA) and th...
