Description:	The aim of this study was to quantify nutrient fluxes from litter fall and prunings in an agroforestry system and to determine differences associated with fertilization. The speceis used are: Bertholletia excelsa (castanha-do-Para), Bactris grasipaes (pupunha),Bixa orellana (urucu), Theobroma grandiflorum (cupuacu) and Pueraria phaseoloides as a cover crop. Annual litterfall in the agroforestry system was greater in the high fertilization treatment (1,56 t/ha) than in the low (1,42 t/ha) but the difference was not significant. Prunings were higher in the hig fertilization treatment than in the low, both from peach palm (1,33 t/ha and 1,04 t/ha) and urucu (1,79 t/ha and 1,15 t/ha).
