Effect of some edaphic factors on microbial decomposition of leaf fiber biomass of Toona ciliata Roxb. and Trema orientalis BI.

Annals of Tropical Research, 2001
Leaf fiber residue generated as a by-product during the bulk production of leaf protein from forest tree leaves poses disposal problems in the absence of any proper utilisation. The fiber residue can be returned to the forest floor for mineralization as

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...
