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 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 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

Effects of Litterfall on the Accumulation of Extracted Soil Humic Substances in Subalpine Forests

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Plant litter is one of the main sources of soil humus, but which can also promote primary humus degradation by increasing microbial activity due to the higher availability of energy released, resulting in a confusing relationship between litterfall and ...

Litter Production Dynamic in relation to Climatic Factors in Tree Plantations [PDF]

Environmental Resources Research, 2014
We studied litterfall dynamic of tree plantations in Dez River floodplain, at 14 to 15 years old. The plantations consist of Populus euphratica Oliv., Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., E. microtheca F. Muell, Acacia farnesiana (L.) Willd., A.

Regional and seasonal patterns of litterfall in tropical South America [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2010
The production of aboveground soft tissue represents an important share of total net primary production in tropical rain forests. Here we draw from a large number of published and unpublished datasets (n=81 sites) to assess the determinants of litterfall

Data on litterfall production and meteorology at an old-growth tropical dry forest in northwestern Mexico

Data in Brief, 2020
Chronological measurements of litterfall production can be used for understanding ecosystem dynamics such as net primary production and carbon cycling in highly seasonal ecosystems such as tropical dry forests (TDF).
