Plant Litter Trait Variation Between Native and Invasive Species Across Steep Climate Gradients in the Hawaiian Islands

Ecology and Evolution
Oceanic islands have high biodiversity, which is severely threatened by invasive species. Functional traits serve as a framework to investigate invasive‐native dynamics, but most studies investigating native‐invasive plant functional trait differences on

The effects of N‐addition on litter mixture effects depend on decomposition time: A case from mixed‐litter decomposition in the Gurbantunggut Desert

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Changes in nitrogen (N) deposition and litter mixtures have been shown to influence ecosystem processes such as litter decomposition. However, the interactive effects of litter mixing and N‐deposition on decomposition process in desert regions remain ...

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.

TRADING POULTRY LITTER AT THE WATERSHED LEVEL : A GOAL FOCUSING APPLICATION [PDF]

We explore the transfer of poultry litter among watersheds incorporating both economic characteristics (litter demand and supply) and environmental characteristics (vulnerability to phosphorus runoff, a major pollutant).

COMBINED USE OF OPEN-AIR AND INDOOR FUMIGATION SYSTEMS TO STUDY EFFECTS OF SO-2 ON LEACHING PROCESSES IN SCOTS PINE LITTER [PDF]

, 1991
Both an open-air fumigation system and a laboratory-based system were used to expose decomposing Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) needles to controlled concentrations of SO2 (arithmetric mean less-than-or-equal-to 48 nl litre-1) during a period, in total,

Effects of Stocking Density and Litter Type on Litter Quality and Growth Performance of Broiler Chicken

Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakultesi Dergisi, 2014
Summary This study was conducted to investigate the effects of stocking density and litter type on growth performance of broiler chickens as well as dressing percentage and some litter quality indicators. 684 male broiler (Ross PM3) was used for a 6 weeks period in the experiment.

Species community shifts in fertilized tundra affect decomposition through changes in litter quantity, quality, and the decomposition microenvironment

Arctic Science
As the Arctic warms, soils thaw, decomposition and nutrient mineralization may increase, and deciduous shrubs often grow taller and denser, shifting the competitive environment and affecting soil properties.
