ABSTRACT

The losses of nutrients by fire were assessed in a Trachypogon savanna located in Calabozo, Venezuela. About 95 percent of the biomass, 97 percent of N, 61 percent of P, 76 percent of K and 65 percent of Ca and Mg were transferred to the atmosphere. Ash deposition returned between 21-34 percent of Mg, Ca, K and P and 0.2 percent of N. Previous data indicated that precipitation and atmospheric fixation (in the case of N) could replace the rest of N, Ca, K and Mg transferred to the atmosphere. As a consequence of frequent burning (annual or biannual), the soil of the savanna showed lower organic matter and available P and K content when it is compared with a 32 year protected savanna

ABSTRACT

La distribución del fósforo fué estudiada en una sabana de Trachypogon sometida a quema y pastoreo, ubicada en los Llanos Altos Centrales de Venezuela. En este ecosistema el capital de fósforo se encuentra principalmente en el suelo (más del 99 por ciento), distribuido en su mayor proporción en formas de P de poco acceso a las plantas (66 por ciento), mientras que la vegetación y el ganado sólo acumulan el 1 por ciento del P total. Por otra parte, el fósforo microbiano del suelo concentra un 6 por ciento del P del sistema, lo que resalta la importancia de este compartimiento como fuente de P lábil y como catalizador de las transformaciones del P
