Nitrogen-fixing trees inhibit growth of regenerating Costa Rican rainforestsBACKGROUNDNitrogen fixing plants are the primary source of nitrogen in forests, and it is expected that more nitrogen fixers will bring in faster growth. Hence this study conducted, in a humid tropical rainforest North- East Costa Rica, challenged this notion. The area of study had similar dominant species, with P. macroloba being the most dominant Nitrogen fixer. Open access copy available |
