Nutrient stocks and phosphorus fractions in mountain soils of Southern Ecuador after conversion of forest to pasture

Understanding pasture degradation processes is the key for sustainable land management in the tropical mountain rainforest region of the South Ecuadorian Andes. We estimated the stocks of total carbon and nutrients, microbial biomass and different P fractions along a gradient of land-uses that is ty...
