| contents | Precipitation effects on soil characteristics in tropical rain forests of the Chocó biogeographical region Harley Quinto-Mosquera Flavio Moreno-Hurtado Agrociencias Ultisol Lixiviation Nutrient limitation Tropical rainforest Average annual precipitation (AAP) is one of the principal environmental factors that regulates processes in terrestrial ecosystems. The effect of AAP on the availability of edaphic nutrients is poorly understood, especially in tropical zones with high rainfall. In order to evaluate the effects of high AAP on the availability of soil N, P, and K, physicochemical parameters were measured in soils of three tropical rainforests in the Chocó biogeographical region with different AAPs (7,500, 8,000, and 10,000 mm yr-1). Furthermore, a bibliographical review was carried out that including studies for distinct tropical Ultisols and AAP ranging from 1,800 to 10,000 mm yr-1. The evaluated soils presented extreme acidity with high contents of Al, organic matter (OM) and total N, and low quantities of P, Mg, and Ca. The K concentrations were intermediate and the effective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) was low. On the other hand, in the evaluation of the influence of the AAP on the availability of N, P, and K in the soil, contrasting tendencies were observed. On one side, a positive curvilinear relationship was found between the availability of N and the increase in the AAP. On the other side, the available P content significantly decreased with increasing AAP. In conclusion, the excessive AAP resulted in increases in total N and low availability of P, thereby altering the dynamics of the nutrients and the carbon balance of the tropical forest. 2016 artículo científico 0304-2847 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=179943371007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1799/179943371007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1799/179943371007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1799/179943371007/179943371007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1799/179943371007/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1799 Revista Facultad Nacional de Agronomía - Medellín application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revista Facultad Nacional de Agronomía - Medellín (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.69 |
