Marine Litter Distribution and Density in European Seas, from the Shelves to Deep Basins [PDF]

, 2014
Anthropogenic litter is present in all marine habitats, from beaches to the most remote points in the oceans. On the seafloor, marine litter, particularly plastic, can accumulate in high densities with deleterious consequences for its inhabitants.

Species Diversity Induces Idiosyncratic Effects on Litter Decomposition in a Degraded Meadow Steppe

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Litter decomposition is a fundamental path for nutrient cycling in a natural ecosystem. However, it remains unclear how species diversity, including richness and evenness, affects the decomposition dynamics in the context of grassland degradation.

Global meta-analysis reveals differential effects of climate and litter quality on soil fauna-mediated litter decomposition across size classes

Geoderma
Litter decomposition is significantly influenced by soil fauna, litter quality, and climate. Effects of soil fauna on litter decomposition are largely dependent on the size classes of the fauna.

Amplified Drought Alters Leaf Litter Metabolome, Slows Down Litter Decomposition, and Modifies Home Field (Dis)Advantage in Three Mediterranean Forests

Plants, 2022
In Mediterranean ecosystems, the projected rainfall reduction of up to 30% may alter plant–soil interactions, particularly litter decomposition and Home Field Advantage (HFA). We set up a litter transplant experiment in the three main forests encountered

Forest Litter Decomposition in Relation to Soil Nitrogen Dynamics and Litter Quality

Ecology, 1985
Decomposition and changes in nitrogen and organic—chemical content of six types of forest litter were studied for 2 yr in five adjacent Wisconsin forests. The five forests were floristically dissimilar, being dominated respectively by sugar maple (Acer saccharum), white oak (Quercus alba), bigtooth aspen (Populus grandidentata), white pine (Pinus ...

Variability in litter quality and its relationship to litter decay in Canadian forests

Canadian Journal of Botany, 2000
Predicting the effects of climate change on litter decomposition requires an improved understanding of the link between organic composition and the parameters used to define litter quality. Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy with cross-polarization and magic-angle spinning (CPMAS NMR) was used to characterize 36 foliar litters ...

A review of factors influencing litter size in Irish sows [PDF]

, 2007
peer-reviewedMany factors influence litter size. These include genetics, gilt management, lactation length, parity distribution, disease, stress and boar fertility. In the past 20 years, litter size in Irish sows has increased by only one pig. Born alive
