Abstract

Periodic estimations of nutrients in vegetation and soil of grassland revealed that maximum nitrogen was found in live compartment in July. During summer months, the phosphorus of community increased gradually and reached at peak in May. The highest silica content was recorded from litter in April and lowest from live compartment in January. Considering the amount of these nutrients in the community the trend was Ca > N > P. The upper layer of soil contained always more nitrogen than the lower and maximum total nitrogen was present in the month of June. Available phosphorus was maximum in rainy season.
