description | We investigated the differences between two trees species in total C, N and P concentrations in live leaves, literfall, and surface litter. The work was conducted on individuals remnant in pastures, in a tropical deciduous forest ecosystem on the coast of Jalisco, Mexico. The use of nutrients differed between the two species: Cordia elaeagnoides had higher P concentration in live leaves, litterfall and surface litter than Caesalpinia eriostachys, but the latter species had a higher P use-efficiency. In contrast, the amount of nutrients fluxed through litterfall varied among years, suggesting that the productivity of specific year determined the amount of nutrients returned to the soil. However, the magnitude of this effect can be depleted by the short residence time of organic matter and nutrients of surface litter associated to both species. |

Se analizaron las concentraciones de C, N y P total de hojas vivas, hojarasca y mantillo de dos especies de árboles en individuos remanentes en medio de una pradera en un ecosistema tropical estacional en la costa de Jalisco, México. Las especies tuvieron diferencias en la dinámica de nutrientes: Cordia elaeagnoides presentó una mayor concentración de P en las hojas vivas, hojarasca y mantillo que Caesalpinia eriostachys, pero esta última registró una mayor eficiencia de uso de P. En contraste, el flujo de nutrientes por medio de la hojarasca varió entre años, sugiriendo que la productividad de un periodo en particular determina la cantidad de nutrientes que retornan al suelo. Sin embargo, la magnitud de este efecto puede quedar reducida por el corto tiempo de residencia de la materia orgánica y de los nutrientes del mantillo asociado a ambas especies de árboles.
