Conteúdo: 	The role of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) during secondary forest succession and in tropical pastures has been investigated and debated for several decades. Here we present results of a replicated experimental study in a degraded cattle pasture of eastern Amazonia using mass balance and a 15N tracer in lined soil pit mesocosms with three treatments: (1) plant-free control plots, (2) pasture grass Brachiaria brizantha, and (3) regrowth of early successional secondary forest species. Accumulation of N in grass biomass slightly exceeded estimates of net N mineralization from the plant-free control plots but was within the margin of error, so inputs of BNF may not have been needed. In contrast, the secondary forest vegetation accumulated about 3 times as much biomass N annually as the net N mineralization estimate, suggesting at least some role for BNF. Based on isotopic and mass measurements of N-fixing species, BNF was estimated to contribute at least 27 ± 3% of mean annual plant uptake in the secondary forest regrowth vegetation plots. Although BNF is probably important for recuperation of tropical secondary forests following land use change, the majority of the N taken up by both grasses and secondary forest regrowth arose from mineralization of the stocks of soil N.
