ECOLOGICAL INTERACTION

POSITIVE INTERACTION

is the complementarity between the woody and herbaceous components in the acquisition of resources

NEGATIVE INTERACTION

It occurs due to competition between components for water, nutrients and light Allelopathy, damage caused by animals or pests, and disease transmission.

NEUTRAL INTERACTION

they occur when the different components of the system exploit the same set of resources, and increases in the catch by a species

CLIMATE.

Organicmaterial.

The organic renewal cycle increases by returning to the soil: leaves, fruits, branches, fecesandurine.

Erosion.

The reduction in the rate of fall of water drops to the ground through the foliage favors infiltration, reducing erosion.

SOIL

Nutrients.

If the tree or shrub species, as well as the grass are leguminous species, the N in the soil increases, due to symbiotic fixation.

Trees intervene in the nutrient cycle, in the structure and in the water balance of the soil.

Biological resources

Biological resources are renewable resources that are capable of regenerating through natural processes (managedorunmanaged).

The topics included are:

timber resources

aquatic resources

Crops

cattle

Other non-cultivated biological resources form an important part of biodiversity and ecosystems.

Space available for growth

Growth

With the biomass produced by the trees, the capacity of the soil and the availability of nutrients present in it are increased.

This depends on the material available above and below the ground and on the production of biomass.
