Title: Nodulation dynamics and nodule activity in leguminous tree species of a Mexican tropical dry forest
Abstract: Biological N fixation by symbiotic micro-organisms plays a key role in making atmospheric N largely available to other organisms and nodule formation by rhizobia in roots of many legume species represents a very important pathway (Postgate 1998). Estimates of the contribution of symbiotic fixation to total N content in soils range from 44 to 200 Tg y −1 (Bøckman 1997).
