Effects of Warming on Growth and Leaf Colonization by Litter Mat‐Forming Fungi in a Wet Tropical Forest in Puerto Rico

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
We took advantage of a long‐running field warming experiment, the Tropical Responses to Altered Climate Experiment (TRACE) located in the Luquillo Experimental Forest in Puerto Rico to evaluate the effects of +4°C warming on relative growth rates (RGR) and time to leaf colonization of a recently senesced leaf for drought‐tolerant species Marasmius ...

Inverse effects of soil moisture and litter quality on litter decomposition along a gradient from hyper‐arid to temperate climate

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
We hypothesized that litter decomposition (H1) and litter quality (H2) increase with increasing soil humidity, therefore litter from the wetter sites to have the highest litter quality and decompose fastest in each site, and fastest on the wet end of the gradient (H3).

Can induced drying modulate the response of leaf litter decomposition and fungal diversity to wastewater effluents in permanent streams?

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3543-3555, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Watercourses are among the most threatened ecosystems globally and face multiple anthropogenic stressors of different origins and intensities that reduce biodiversity and disrupt ecosystem functioning.

Contenido mineral en hojas de la hojarasca del matorral espinoso tamaulipeco

open access: yesEcosistemas y Recursos Agropecuarios, 2018
El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar y comparar en espacio y tiempo la concentración de Ca, K, Mg, P, Cu, Fe, Mn y Zn en hojarasca colectada en el municipio de Linares, Nuevo León, México. Los contenidos de todos los minerales, excepto de Cu y Zn, fueron diferentes estadísticamente entre sitios, meses e interacciones.

Contrasting effects of vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores on leaf litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems: A meta‐analysis

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3372-3384, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivores influence litter quality, soil properties and decomposer communities, with cascading effects on litter decomposition. Vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores can affect decomposition through the same two pathways (litter quality‐ and soil‐mediated) but are ...

Los restos que no sobran en el bosque : indagando entre troncos y hojarasca

open access: yesExtensionismo, Innovación y Transferencia Tecnológica, 2016
<p>Los detritos, aunque a veces imperceptibles, son un componente esencial del bosque. Cumplen funciones ecológicas indispensables, como albergar innumerables especies, proveer protección al suelo, regular procesos de ciclado de nutrientes y ser importantes reservorios de carbono y agua. Si bien sabemos que las actividades humanas los alteran, no

Navigating the seven seas of arthropod collection protocols: Metabarcoding arthropod diversity in a tropical forest

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2395-2407, October 2025.
Abstract Insects and other arthropods represent one of the most diverse groups of life on Earth, with an estimated 70% of species awaiting discovery. Advances in DNA‐based tools have accelerated species discovery, while high‐throughput sequencing has enabled large‐scale biodiversity surveys.

La tragedia como fundamento estructural de "La Hojarasca"

open access: yesLetras (Lima), 1967
No conocemos ningún trabajo crítico dedicado a “La hojarasca” que atienda al sentido esclarecedor del epígrafe que Gabriel García Márquez pone al comienzo de su novela (…). El único crítico que se detiene brevemente a considerar el epígrafe es Luis Harss, pero en él un simple comentario irónico de la situación: "Y así, como Polinices, perecer el ...

Increasingly conservative N cycling in a wet tropical forest: Litter and stream N concentrations decline over 29 years despite surges from hurricanes

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2476-2496, September 2025.
Conceptual model integrating short‐ and long‐term responses of N in litterfall and stream water in a wet tropical forest subject to hurricanes. Despite N surges following hurricanes, N cycling becomes more conservative in the absence of frequent hurricanes.
