Abstract
The Tropical moist forest is characterized by a 3-month dry period and occurs extensively in the east-central area of the Republic of Panama and portions of northwestern Colombia. It is the primary region of the interior inhabited by man. Eight one-eighth hectare plots were harvested and analyzed for 13 elements. Movement and storage characteristics and potential inputs to man for nine elemental compartments and seven hydrologic compartments are presented.Keywords
