Abstract
⺠Lupinus meridanus, a paramo legume abundant in fallow plots, fixes 84% of its N. ⺠Its biomass peaks after 5 years fallow, but high variability exists between plots. ⺠Cumulated N2 fixed after 10 years of fallow oscillated between 0 and 23.5 g mâ2. ⺠A stochastic succession model correctly simulated N2 fixation and its variability. ⺠Sowing the legume at the start of the fallow period can duplicate potato yield.
