Secondary forests with pasture history are regenerating in soils degraded by the intensive use of fire as a pasture management technique and by compaction caused by cattle trampling. The nutritional limitation, mainly for P, reported in great part of the soils of the Amazon Basin, can be aggravated by this type of soil use and, consequently, affect the natural regeneration after the abandonment of the area. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to analyze whether phosphate fertilization and soil acidity correction affect the structural characteristics of secondary forests in a chronosequence (different initial ages) with pasture history in central Amazonia. Ten secondary forests were fertilized in 2000, with four treatments each: ...
