Litterfall, Throughfall and Stemflow in Acacia Mangium Stands on Tin Tailings and Their Effects on Soil Chemical Properties

Acacia mangium has been planted on ex-tin tailing areas to improve soil fertility. The return of macro nutrients from A. mangium and their effects on the soil chemical properties is however not well understood. The main objective of this study is to compare the effects of macro nutrient input v...
