| Abstract: | Summary Nodule biomass and yearly C2H2 reduction rates are reported forInga jinicuil, a leguminous tree used for shade in Mexican coffee plantations. Annual fixation by this species approximates 35 kg ha–1; which, when compared to nitrogen additions from fertilizers, represents an important nitrogen input to the coffee ecosystem. |
