DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dr Paolo D'ODORICO\, Ecohydology Lab\, University of Vir
 ginia (USA)\nIn phosphorus (P)-limited neotropical forests  vegetation is 
 sustained in the long-term by atmospheric P-inputs through dry and wet dep
 osition  which are dependent on canopy density. Thus  the canopy may funct
 ion as a "trap" for P enabling a positive feedback between vegetation and 
 atmospheric P supply. I provide a quantitative assessment of these feedbac
 ks and discuss how they affect both the resilience of dry tropical forests
  and the sustainability of slash and burn agriculture.
