Bhatt, Y.D. | Rawat, Y.S. | Singh, S.P.
Lantana camara shrubland is compared with the adjacent Quercus leucotrichophora and Pinus roxburghii forests to understand changes occurring in net primary productivity and nutrient cycling, as a consequence of degradation of these forests. The total net primary productivity of Lantana camara shrubland was 17 t ha‐¹ yr‐¹, which is similar to the values reported for forests: 16 ‐ 21 t ha‐¹ yr‐¹. Total nutrient content (N, P) in the soil in the L. camara shrubland: 2932 kg ha‐¹ N and 111 kg ha‐¹ P, was lower than that of the forest soils.
