In the Brazilian Amazon, primary forest and degraded pastures represent polar extremes of carbon stocks, nutrient cycling, light interception, and deep soil water cycling. Plant succession on degraded pastures is expected to change these values, and the extent to which secondary forest (SF) restores these processes is a high priority research objective.
