After more than 40% of the N in the gliricidia leaves had been released and the microbial biomass N reached its peak, a significant increase in available soil N occurred at day 14, which was more pronounced with greater amounts of gliricidia in the leaf mixture.
Until day 38, cupuacu C mineralization was significantly faster in the presence of the highest proportion of gliricidia compared to lower proportions.
The use of N-15 tracers identified an N transfer from gliricidia leaves and the soil to cupuacu leaves and consequently, a lower N release from gliricidia to the soil in the presence of cupuacu leaves.
