Potential Hypotheses Predicting Leaf Litter Nitrogen and Phosphorus Patterns at the Global Scale [PDF]

Plants
Climate has shaped green leaf nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) patterns through its direct physiological effects (Temperature–Plant Physiology hypothesis), indirect pathways involving soil nutrients (Soil Substrate Age hypothesis), or vegetation ...

Synergistic and Antagonistic Effects of Mixed-Leaf Litter Decomposition on Nutrient Cycling [PDF]

Plants
Understanding decomposition patterns of mixed-leaf litter from agroforestry species is crucial, as leaf litter in ecosystems naturally occurs as mixtures rather than as separate individual species.

Impact of Fertilizers Application on Leaf Litter Decomposition and Nutrient Cycling in White Poplar (Populus alba L.) Forest Ecosystem

Forest Science and Technology
Fertilizer application plays a crucial role in the decomposition of white poplar leaf litter and cycling of nutrients within forest ecosystems. The impact of various fertilizer additions on white poplar leaf litter and nutrient cycling is poorly ...

The Response of Botrytis cinerea to Fire in a Coast Redwood Forest

International Journal of Plant Biology
Coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) are long-lived trees that create deep shade and litter layers, and have limited recruitment from seedlings. Botrytis cinerea is an airborne fungal pathogen that attacks redwood seedlings. B.

Patterns of decomposition rates in central European forests differ among carrion, leaf litter and deadwood

Forest Ecosystems
Decomposition of dead organic matter is essential for ecosystem functioning and nutrient cycling, but carrion, leaf litter, and deadwood vary in their physicochemical characteristics, associated decomposer communities, and consequently in the rates at ...

Exotic mangrove Laguncularia racemosa litter input accelerates nutrient cycling in mangrove ecosystems

Frontiers in Plant Science
Exotic plant litter presents different chemical and physical properties relative to native plant litter and alters ecosystem processes and functions that may facilitate exotic plant dispersal. However, these effects are largely unknown, especially within

Carbon storage dynamics in Chinese fir plantations: relationships with leaf-litter-soil C:N:P stoichiometry

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Forest carbon stocks and dynamics are critical indicators for evaluating the carbon sequestration capacity of forest ecosystems, while ecological stoichiometry provides insights into elemental cycling processes and stability.
