Litterfall deposition in a Pinus stand

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2012
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.

Climate and Edaphic Factors Partly Explain Leaf Litterfall Rates of Species From Tropical Semi‐Deciduous Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution
Carbon cycling in semi‐deciduous ecosystems is difficult to observe because plant species shed leaves for only a short period (4–6 weeks), and some remain dormant for only a few weeks. These short phenological phases limit ecosystem studies.

Litterfall and Nutrient Input in a Degraded Area [PDF]

Floresta e Ambiente, 2017
ABSTRACT This study aimed to test the effects of fertilization with organic compost from industrial production of pulp on the litterfall and nutrient input of monospecific plantations in a loan area. The treatments consisted of three doses of the organic compost D10, D15 and D20 (10, 15 and 20 Mg ha-1, respectively), mineral conventional fertilization (

Litterfall Production Of Mangrove

AGRICOLA, 2020
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.

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

Seasonality of litterfall and leaf decomposition in a cerrado site [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2008
We investigated annual litterfall and leaf decomposition rate in a cerrado site. We collected woody plant litter monthly from April 2001 to March 2002 and from July 2003 to June 2004. We placed systematically 13 litter traps (0.5 x 0.5 m) in a line, 10 m one from the other.

Pattern of litterfall production and nutrient addition in soil through litterfall by different tree species: A review

Environment Conservation Journal, 2023
Innutrient dynamics, an extremely valuable resource is litterfall. It is crucial to the dynamics of soil nutrients, the characteristics of soil, and the transfer of energy. In an agroforestry system, decomposition and litter fall are the two key processes that contribute to soil enrichment.

Comparing Litterfall and Standing Vegetation: Assessing the Footprint of Litterfall Traps [PDF]

, 2012
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 ...

Temporal changes in litterfall and potential nutrient return in cocoa agroforestry systems under organic and conventional management, Ghana

Heliyon, 2021
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.

From Litterfall to Breakdown in Streams: A Review [PDF]

The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2001
This paper is a review of recent (≤10 years) information on litterfall, standing stock of benthic organic matter, breakdown rates, and fungal colonization of organic matter in streams. In some cases, recent research reinforces the findings of classic reference papers.
