Litter dynamics in riverine mangrove forests in the Guayas River estuary, Ecuador

Oecologia, 1997
The hypothesis that rates of litter turnover in mangroves are controlled by local geophysical processes such as tides has been studied at sites with mostly small tides (3 m) river-dominated tropical estuary in Ecuador (2.5°S latitude). There were statistical effects of site and depth on soil salinities, but all mean salinities were  M2 > M1) and season
