The annual litter fall production and the concentrations of macronutrients of four leguminous tree species were evaluated. The experiment was installed in a distrophic red yellow latosol (Oxisol), derivative of the Bauru sandstone group. The studied species were: Leucaena leucocephala. Acacia melanoxylon, L. diversifolia and Mimosa scabrella. The experimental design was randomized blocks, with four treatments (species) and four replications. The litter fall was collected in boxes measuring 50× 50× 10 cm, two boxes by treatment in each block. The material was collected monthly and dried, weighed and chemically analyzed. The litter fall deposition occurred in the following order: M. scabrella (7,051 kg ha-1 ano-1), A. melanoxylon (2,789 kg ha-1 ano-1), L. diversifolia (1,576 kg ha-1 ano-1) and L. leucocephala (1,389 kg ha-1 ano-1). The content of nutrients obeyed the following order: N> Ca> K> Mg> P> S, with the exception of L. leucocephala that presented a bigger content of S in relation to the P.
