La descomposición de la hojarasca de Ochroma pyramidale (Malvaceae)
Acta Universitaria, 2023 The tree Ochroma pyramidale is used to recover jungle areas that have been cultivated. This native species generates a thick layer of leaf litter that remains for several years. The objectives of this study were: 1) to know how much leaf litter is produced, 2) to estimate how long it persists in the soil, and 3) to identify the role of soil fauna in ...

No home‐field advantage in litter decomposition from the desert to temperate forest
Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 1315-1327, May 2023., 2023 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Litter decomposition rates are determined by the interplay of climate, decomposer organisms and litter quality. It has been suggested that the decomposer community may be locally adapted to litter quality, providing a home‐field advantage (HFA) resulting in accelerated ...

Los árboles exóticos invasores alteran la tasa de descomposición de la hojarasca [PDF]
, 2008 Las plantas exóticas invasoras pueden alterar la dinámica de nutrientes de los ecosistemas, ya sea alterando la calidad y cantidad de hojarasca aportada al suelo (efecto directo), o modificando la actividad microbiana de los suelos que reciben esos aportes (efecto indirecto). El objetivo de este trabajo fue: 1) comparar la dinámica de descomposición de

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 2, Page 400-411, February 2023., 2023 The consequences of seed caching for seedling early establishment are driven by a fine decision‐making process of the disperser. Magpies seemed to ponder the characteristics of the habitat and the seed itself to determine where and how to cache each nut. By doing so, magpies reinforced the quality of seed dispersal effectiveness, as they cached walnuts

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 9, Page 2219-2231, September 2022., 2022 Litter mixing did not have strong effects on decomposition rates across the studied climatic gradient overall, and the direction and intensity of the mixture effects were context dependent. The effects were stronger and more negative in the dryer ecosystems.

Litter‐trapping tank bromeliads in five different forests: Carbon and nutrient pools and fluxes
Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 170-180, January 2022., 2022 Bromeliads are the most abundant litter‐trapping plants in Neotropical forest canopies. We analyzed the carbon and nutrient pools and fluxes in tank bromeliads in different forests along an elevation gradient. Only a small percentage of the annual litterfall (<3%) is trapped by tank bromeliads.

Descomposición de hojarasca de Pinus radiata y tres especies arbóreas nativas [PDF]
Revista chilena de historia natural, 2001 Recent decades have seen widespread conversion of native forests, shrublands and farmland in south-central Chile to exotic tree plantations. However, little is known about the effects of these wholesale landuse changes on ecosystem properties and processes, with the notable exception of studies of site water balance.
