Abstract
The physiognomic gradient of cerrado vegetation from stands of small, widely scattered trees through `orchard', to well-developed woodland in Central Brazil has here been found to parallel a soil fertility gradient. The basal area of trunks per hectare measured on 110 stands in the Triangulo Mineiro region was found to be correlated at the 0.1% level with P, N, and K measured in the soils of the same stands.Keywords
