M. de  aBiological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in mixed-forest plantations.h[electronic resource]  c2020  aThis chapter addresses the biological fixation of N2 as a critical ecological facilitation strategy in mixed-forest plantations, allowing N fixation to act positively on the development of non-N2 -fixing species. The mixture of fast-growing N2-fixing species is capable of improving the quality of soil organic matter, improving N status in the system and crop productivity (Forrester et al. 2005; Voigtlaender et al. 2012; Rachid et al. 2013; Santos et al. 2018). A compilation of information, without the commitment to exhaust the literature, was made by trying to give numbers to the benefits of nodulating bacteria. The potential use of the plant microbiome and growth-promoting microorganisms in forestry is still incipient, but very promising. This subject is discussed in Chap. 5.  aMixed forests  aNitrogen fixation  aFixação de Nitrogênio  aFloresta  aFixação biológica de Nitrogênio  aPlantação de florestas mistas1 aBALIEIRO, F. de C.1 aPAULA, R.
