Litterfall deposition in a Pinus stand
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.

Mangrove Phenology From Scale, Data and Species Perspectives. [PDF]
This study investigates mangrove phenology in the northern subtropical zone of Zhanjiang, China, using satellite‐derived Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) time series. Our results reveal clear annual phenological patterns with significant variation across species and datasets, highlighting the superior sensitivity of Sentinel‐2 over Landsat 8.

Secondary Forest Conversion Into Betel Nut Plantations Reduces Soil Water Retention by Altering Soil Properties. [PDF]
Soil hydrological properties were significantly altered by the land‐use change. Topsoil water retention was reduced by the conversion of tropical forests into betel nut plantations. Stable soil infiltration rates were reduced by the conversion of tropical forests into betel nut plantations.

Litterfall Production Of Mangrove
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.

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

Litterfall is a critical link between vegetation and soils by which nutrients are returned to the soils, thus the amount and pattern of litterfall regulates nutrient cycling, soil fertility and primary productivity for most terrestrial ecosystems.

Distinct responses of soil respiration to experimental litter manipulation in temperate woodland and tropical forest [PDF]
Global change is affecting primary productivity in forests worldwide, and this, in turn, will alter long‐term carbon (C) sequestration in wooded ecosystems.

Jena Soil Model (JSM v1.0; revision 1934): a microbial soil organic carbon model integrated with nitrogen and phosphorus processes [PDF]
Plant–soil interactions, such as the coupling of plants' below-ground biomass allocation with soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition, nutrient release and plant uptake, are essential to understand the response of carbon (C) cycling to global changes ...

Comparing Litterfall and Standing Vegetation: Assessing the Footprint of Litterfall Traps [PDF]
Litterfall traps could preferentially represent certain kinds of leaf litter. Several factors may cause bias while sampling litterfall leading to overor under-representation of the species present in the surrounding vegetation. For example, species standing precisely above litterfall traps, having big and wide crowns, and/or with high leaf fall rate ...
