Amazonian ecosystems are dependent on the forest to ensure their maintenance through nutrient cycling, via litter. The objective of this work was to evaluate litter stock and nutrient content under different restoration methods in abandoned pasture areas in the eastern Amazon. The macronutrient content via litter followed the order: Ca > N > P >Mg > K >Na. Calcium was the macronutrient that most returns to the soil via litter. The restoration method through silvipastoral system presented the highest values of nitrogen. The area under passive restoration proved to be the most efficient method to recover areas degraded by pasture in the eastern Amazon, due to the highest litter stock and nutrient content.</p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, journal={Peer Review}, author={Costa, Nisangela Severino Lopes and Schwartz, Gustavo and Gomes , Jaqueline Macedo and Dionísio, Luiz Fernandes Silva and Pereira Filho, Jurandir}, year={2024}, month={fev.}, pages={109–123} }
