The significance of atmospheric nutrient inputs and canopy interception of precipitation during ecosystem development in piñon-juniper woodlands of the southwestern USA [PDF]
In arid ecosystems, widely spaced vegetation and prolonged dry periods may enhance canopy capture of nutrients from dry deposition. Additionally, differences in precipitation type, plant canopy architecture, and soil nutrient limitation could affect ...

Adaptation of Agro-IBIS model for Eucalyptus carbon budget estimation at regional level- a case study in Sao Paulo State, Brazil [PDF]
Highly productive fast-growing Eucalyptus plantations cover more than 5 million hectares in Brazil and exhibit very dynamic carbon fluxes throughout their 6-7 year rotations. These plantations quickly shift from C sources at the beginning of the rotation

The soil and plant biogeochemistry sampling design for The National Ecological Observatory Network [PDF]
Human impacts on biogeochemical cycles are evident around the world, from changes to forest structure and function due to atmospheric deposition, to eutrophication of surface waters from agricultural effluent, and increasing concentrations of carbon ...

Part XIII: Sampling and Analysis of Litterfall
This part of the Manual aims to provide sufficient methodological advice to allow participating National Focal Centres to sample and prepare an accurate measurement of the quantity and quality of litterfall, from selected plots of the ICP Forests intensive monitoring system.

Litterfall and nutrients return to soil in pure and mixed stands of oak and beech
Litterfall is a significant pathway for the return of nutrients and carbon (C) to the soil in forest ecosystems. It provides long-term maintenance of nutrients in the forest ecosystem.

Linking spatial patterns of leaf litterfall and soil nutrients in a tropical forest: a neighborhood approach [PDF]
Leaf litter represents an important link between tree community composition, forest productivity and biomass, and ecosystem processes. In forests, the spatial distribution of trees and species-specific differences in leaf litter production and quality ...
