Climate Warming Will Reduce Boreal Forest Litterfall, but the Response Differs Among Plant Functional Types [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Boreal forests are critical carbon sinks increasingly threatened by climate change. More than two‐thirds of this boreal carbon is stored in soil and litter, highlighting the crucial role of litterfall for carbon and nutrient cycling.

Litterfall deposition in a Pinus stand

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2012
Litterfall is the main responsible for maintaining forest stands yield in soils with low natural fertility. This study aimed to evaluate seasonal and monthly litterfall deposition in a Pinus taeda L.

Spatio-temporal analysis of litterfall load in the lower reaches of Qarqan and Tarim rivers using BP neural networks [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Litterfall load is crucial in maintaining ecosystem health, controlling wildfires, and estimating carbon stock in arid regions. However, there is a lack of spatiotemporal analysis of litterfall in arid riparian forests.

Litterfall and Nutrient Input in a Degraded Area [PDF]

Floresta e Ambiente, 2017
ABSTRACT This study aimed to test the effects of fertilization with organic compost from industrial production of pulp on the litterfall and nutrient input of monospecific plantations in a loan area. The treatments consisted of three doses of the organic compost D10, D15 and D20 (10, 15 and 20 Mg ha-1, respectively), mineral conventional fertilization (

Litterfall decomposition of coffee shaded with Tectona grandis or in full sun [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2022
Litterfall is an important source of soil nutrients, but its decomposition can be affected by the crop system used. The objective of this study was to evaluate litterfall decomposition and macronutrient stocks in coffee crop systems in shaded (SHCS ...

Litterfall Chemistry Is Modulated by Wet-Dry Seasonality and Leaf Phenology of Dominant Species in the Tropics

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Litterfall has a large influence on carbon and nutrient cycling of ecosystems, particularly in light-limited forested streams, as most nutrients return in the form of litter.

Litterfall in the Semideciduous Seasonal Forest in Southern Brazil

Floresta e Ambiente, 2020
Litterfall and nutrient cycling are essential processes for the forest diversity and productivity maintenance. This study aims to characterize the litterfall and evaluate if it has correlations with climatic variables in the Semideciduous Seasonal Forest

Litterfall Production Of Mangrove

AGRICOLA, 2020
Mangroves are plants that live in tidal or interface areas between terrestrial and marine ecosystems in tropical and subtropical regions. Mangrove ecosystem is one of the coastal ecosystems that have  a very important role, especially for organisms, namely as a supplier of nutrients produced by mangrove litter.
