Ungulates decelerate litter decomposition by altering litter quality above and below ground
European Journal of Forest Research, 2016Ungulates can greatly affect forest ecosystems’ functional characteristics. However, limited information is available about their influence on litter decomposition, a major ecosystem process, despite disturbance of ungulates on vegetation through selective browsing and trampling.

Land use, litter quality and climate effect on early stage litter decomposition [PDF]
, 2021 Litter decomposition represents one of the largest fluxes in the global terrestrial carbon cycle and a number of large-scale decomposition experiments have been conducted focusing on this fundamental soil process. The main factors affecting litter decomposition are the environmental conditions, litter quality and microbial community.

Litter Quality and Decomposition Rates of Foliar Litter Produced under CO2 Enrichment
1996Decomposition of senesced plant material is one of two critical processes linking above- and below-ground components of nutrient cycles. As such, it is a key area of concern in understanding and predicting ecosystem responses to elevated atmospheric CO{sub 2}.

Quality of poultry litter-derived granular activated carbon
Bioresource Technology, 2010Utilization of poultry litter as a source material for generating activated carbon is a value-added and environmentally beneficial approach to recycling organic waste. In this study, the overall quality of poultry litter-derived granular activated carbon was systematically evaluated based on its various physical and chemical properties.

Effects of litter diversity, leaf quality and water chemistry on litter decomposition in streams
2006OverviewIn this dissertation several factors influencing litter decomposition in streams were studied separately or, in some cases, in combination. All factors involved anthropogenic influences on ecosystems and thus tackled different topics of environmental relevance at a broad scale.

Qualities of broiler litter in ruminant feeding
2007Feed represent a major proportion of the overall production cost in the livestock industry. Availability of good quality and unadulterated conventional feed all year round is a major constraint in livestock production. Also, competition for the same feed resources existing between humans and animals have further compounded the problem leading to ...
