Mixed-litter effects of fresh leaf semi-decomposed litter and fine root on soil enzyme activity and microbial community in an evergreen broadleaf karst forest in southwest China

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Litter decomposition is the main process that affects nutrient cycling and carbon budgets in mixed forests. However, knowledge of the response of the soil microbial processes to the mixed-litter decomposition of fresh leaf, semi-decomposed leaf and fine ...

Impact of Tree Litter Identity, Litter Diversity and Habitat Quality on Litter Decomposition Rates in Tropical Moist Evergreen Forest. [PDF]

Forest Ecosystems, 2021
Abstract Background: Attempts to restore degraded highlands by tree planting are common in East Africa. However, up till now, little attention has been given to effects of tree species choice on litter decomposition and nutrient recycling.

Soil quality, leaf litter quality, and microbial biomass interactively drive soil respiration in a microcosm experiment

Soil Organisms, 2021
Soil respiration plays a central role in global carbon dynamics, and small changes in the magnitude of soil respiration could have large impacts on atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

Effect of chemically amended litter on litter quality and broiler performance in winter [PDF]

Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2016
ABSTRACTThe experiment was conducted to study the efficacy of different types of litter amendments on litter quality and broiler performance during winter (December–January). A total number of 180, day-old (Vencobb) broiler chicks were randomly assigned to three equal groups. One bearing control group and other two comprise litter amendments with alum (

Interacting Microbe and Litter Quality Controls on Litter Decomposition: A Modeling Analysis

PLoS ONE, 2014
The decomposition of plant litter in soil is a dynamic process during which substrate chemistry and microbial controls interact. We more clearly quantify these controls with a revised version of the Guild-based Decomposition Model (GDM) in which we used a reverse Michaelis-Menten approach to simulate short-term (112 days) decomposition of roots from ...

Root litter quality incubation experiment [PDF]

, 2023
The dataset contains data of a 2-year incubation experiment of C4 roots litter added to a C3 soil. The soil was sampled after 6, 12 and 24 months and fractionated into particulate organic carbon (POC) and mineral associated organic carbon (MAOC) and each

Effect of Litter Treatment on Broiler Performance and Certain Litter Quality Parameters

Poultry Science, 1984
Litter-Aid, a product consisting primarily of ferrous sulfate but also containing propionic acid and magnesium and copper sulfate was incorporated into litter at three application rates (0, .73, and 1.46 kg/m2) to determine its effects on broiler chicken performance and various aspects of litter quality.

Regional contingencies in the relationship between aboveground biomass and litter in the world’s grasslands [PDF]

, 2013
Based on regional-scale studies, aboveground production and litter decomposition are thought to positively covary, because they are driven by shared biotic and climatic factors.

Grazing increases litter decomposition rate but decreases nitrogen release rate in an alpine meadow [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2018
Litter decomposition and N release are the key processes that strongly determine the nutrient cycling at the soil–plant interface; however, how these processes are affected by grazing or grazing exclusion in the alpine grassland ecosystems on the ...

The Influence of Plant Litter on Soil Water Repellency: Insight from 13C NMR Spectroscopy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Soil water repellency (SWR, i.e. reduced affinity for water owing to the presence of organic hydrophobic coatings on soil particles) has relevant hydrological implications because low rates of infiltration enhance water runoff, and untargeted diffusion ...
