Regional and temporal patterns of litterfall in tropical South America

, 2009
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 Here we draw from a large number of published and unpublished datasets (n=81 sites) to assess the determinants of litterfall

Impacts of increasing typhoons on the structure and function of a subtropical forest: reflections of a changing climate

Scientific Reports, 2017
Due to their destructive and sporadic nature, it is often difficult to evaluate and predict the effects of typhoon on forest ecosystem patterns and processes.

Litter Production and Nutrient Dynamic on a Moso Bamboo Plantation following an Extreme Disturbance of 2008 Ice Storm

Advances in Meteorology, 2014
Ice storm is known to play a role in determining forest succession and litter dynamics constitute an important aspect of nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. However, ice storm effects on amount and pattern of litterfall are not clearly understood.

Carbon production from seasonal litterfall in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

, 2021
Forests play an important role in climate change, acting as a source or sink of carbon. There is, however, a lack of data regarding the carbon production from litterfall in tropical forests.

Aboveground litterfall data at Bisley

, 2011
Litterfall (fine and coarse) due to Hurricane Hugo and subsequent fine annual litterfall inputs (1, 2 and 5 yr after Hugo) were determined for two sites (El Verde and Bisley) in the Luquillo Experimental Forest in Puerto Rico.

Phenology and litterfall production of Bruguiera sexangula (Lour.) Poir. in the Sundarbans mangrove forests, Bangladesh

Forest Science and Technology, 2019
A large number of mangrove species are growing in the Sundarbans Reserve Forests (SRF), Bangladesh, yet little is known about their phenology. The aim of the present study was to understand the phonological patterns such as leaf emergence, leaf fall ...

Litterfall production and fine root dynamics in cool-temperate forests.

, 2017
Current understanding of litterfall and fine root dynamics in temperate forests is limited, even though these are the major contributors to carbon and nutrient cycling in the ecosystems. In this study, we investigated litterfall and fine root biomass and
