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 Here we draw from a large number of published and unpublished datasets (n=81 sites) to assess the determinants of litterfall

Assessing the relative role of climate on litterfall in Mediterranean cork oak forests [PDF]

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2018
Litterfall plays a key role in the dynamic of forest ecosystems, ultimately determining forest productivity and carbon and nutrient cycling. Increasing our understanding on the role of structural and environmental factors controlling litterfall amount ...

How does climate influence mangrove litterfall production across different species? A case study in Zhanjiang, China

Trees, Forests and People
Mangrove litterfall represents a major pathway of energy and nutrient flux, yet species-specific and organ-specific climatic responses remain insufficiently understood. This study quantified litterfall dynamic of three dominant mangrove species—Avicennia

PRODUCTION, DECOMPOSITION AND CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BANANA LITTERFALL

Revista Caatinga, 2017
The characterization of litterfall in forest and agroforest systems is important to better understand the cycling of nutrients, however, few studies on litterfall of fruit trees, such as banana, are found. Therefore, the objective of this work was assess

Seasonal litterfall and nutrients in an Atlantic Forest fragment

Ambiente e Agua - An Interdisciplinary Journal of Applied Science, 2022
Litter dynamics is one of the fundamental processes for the growth and maintenance of native forest fragments, being considered the main pathway for nutrient cycling in forests. Studies on litter production and nutrient content therefore provide insights that provide a better understanding of nutrient dynamics. This study identifies the seasonality and

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.
