Abstract

The tropical dry forest is one of the ecosystems with greater importance and diversity worldwide, and also one of the most threatened and affected by agricultural activities. The objective of this work was to evaluate the decomposition of fallen leaf litter in three fragments of tropical dry forests, located in the municipalities of Venadillo, Ambalema and Armero-Guayabal in the department of Tolima.
