Abstract
Results are presented to the atmospheric deposition of P over a 1 year period in coastal fynbos vegetation on aeolian sandy soils of low P content. Annual precipitation during 1980-81 was 381 mm. P input was estimated as 0.19 kg ha-1 year-1; it occurred mainly during the winter. P input from bulk precipitation is an important contribution to the fynbos biome.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
