          Abstract

          Abstract Introduction: Nutrient cycle studies are important to propose sustainable methods in forestry. Objectives: To evaluate the reservoirs of N, P, K, Ca and Mg in trees, litter and mineral soil of two managed stands of Pinus montezumae Lamb.; estimate the decomposition rate of litter; and quantify the annual amount of nutrients required for tree growth. Materials and methods: The study was conducted in Nanacamilpa, Tlaxcala. The biomass and mass of nutrients in trunk, branches and leaves were estimated with a destructive sampling of 10 trees. Results and discussion: Dasometric data, reservoirs and nutrient dynamics were similar in both stands (t, P > 0.05). In mineral soil, the contents of N, P, K, Ca and Mg were 5 419, 68, 1 245, 9 163 and 2 029 kg·ha-1, respectively; and in aerial biomass were 242, 12, 28, 167 and 118 kg·ha-1, respectively. The decomposition rate of leaf-litter was -0.335. Trees require 73 to 81 kg·ha-1·year-1 of N, 5.2 to 5.3 kg·ha-1·year-1 of P and 9.4 to 10 kg·ha-1·year-1 of K to grow. Conclusion: Soil nutrients could maintain forest growth for 256 years, but P could be a limiting factor if sustainable harvest practices change.

          Resumen Introducción: El estudio del ciclo de nutrientes es importante para proponer métodos de aprovechamiento sostenible en los bosques. Objetivos: Evaluar los reservorios de N, P, K, Ca y Mg en árboles, mantillo y suelo mineral de dos rodales de Pinus montezumae Lamb. bajo aprovechamiento; estimar la tasa de descomposición de mantillo; y cuantificar la cantidad anual de nutrientes demandada. Materiales y métodos: El estudio se realizó en Nanacamilpa, Tlaxcala. La biomasa y masa de nutrientes en el fuste, ramas y hojas se estimaron con un muestreo destructivo de 10 árboles. Resultados y discusión: Los datos dasométricos, reservorios y dinámica de nutrientes fueron similares en ambos rodales (t, P > 0.05). En el suelo mineral, los contenidos de N, P, K, Ca y Mg fueron 5 419, 68, 1 245, 9 163 y 2 029 kg·ha-1, respectivamente; y en la biomasa aérea fueron 242, 12, 28, 167 y 118 kg·ha-1, respectivamente. La tasa de descomposición de hojarasca fue -0.335. El arbolado requiere, para su crecimiento, 73 a 81 kg·ha-1·año-1 de N, 5.2 a 5.3 kg·ha-1·año-1 de P y 9.4 a 10 kg·ha-1·año-1 de K. Conclusión: Los nutrientes del suelo podrían mantener el crecimiento del bosque por 256 años, pero el P podría ser un limitante si las prácticas sustentables de cosecha se modifican.
