The aboveground biomass, litterfall and its accumulation, litter weight loss due to decomposition and nutrient pools in relation to soil properties were analyzed in a Castanea sativa Mill. stand in order to better understand the recycling of elements associated with the turnover of organic matter. The aboveground biomass and the nutrient content were estimated by harvesting eight trees. In order to establish regression equations the best fit was obtained by applying the allometric method $Y = aX^b$ ($Y$ = total aboveground biomass, $X$ is DBH). The highest concentration of the elements was found in the foliage and decreased in the following order: leaves $> $ branches $> $ trunk. The elements most concentrated in the leaves were N,...
