Description
Summary:In tlris sense, knowledge of the soil chemical and physical characteristics is crucial at the nursery stage. [...]in Brazil, production of forest seedlings is intense due to the expansion of agricultural areas and the high demand for wood products, leading to the exploitation of native remnants, intensive deforestation, and degradation of areas (Freitas et al., 2017). [...]revegetation of these areas is essential to improve the soil physical and chemical characteristics, providing the necessary protection through plant cover to reduce soil losses by erosion (Silva et al.. Cedro-rosa also has a high commercial value, with potential use in landscaping and in the production of high-quality wood (Martins & Lago. 2008). [...]due to the environmental and economic importance of native tree species, mainly in seedling production, adequate nutrition is needed for the full development of cedro-rosa. Furthennore. it appears that native forest species have different responses to P fertilization and to soil acidity conection, which requires evaluations of these factors for the development of cedro-rosa seedlings. [...]this study evaluated the combined effect of liming and P. Ca. and S fertilization by single superphosphate on the initial development of cedro-rosa seedlings grown in Amazonian soil.
