Resumen
Descripción
This study is part of a long-term program for the recultivation of degraded monoculture sites in the Central Amazon Basin. The soils occurring on upland site in this region generally have a low fertility. Large areas with those conditions are deforested and abandoned after short period of cultivation. There is a need to develop alternative land use systems which allow the utilization of degraded areas in a economically viable, and socially and ecologically sustainable way.
