The Utilization of Leaf Litter by Stream Detritivores

Ecology, 1973
Investigations of large and fine particle feeding detritivores (shredders and collectors) fed on conditioned hickory leaves (Carya glabra) revealed density—dependent intra— and interspecific interactions. Shredder (Tipula and Pycnopsyche) growth rates ranged from 0.47 to 1.53% increase in body wt/day depending upon density, species combinations, and ...

Adsorption of cellulase components by leaf litter

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1988
The competitive adsorption of Trichoderma viride cellulase components to leaf litter was investigated to further elucidate the role of extracellular enzymes as mediators of decomposition processes. Litter analogs were prepared by acid-detergent digestion of senescent Pinus strobus (white pine), Quercus prinus (chestnut oak) and Cornus florida ...
