Balancing litterfall and decomposition in cacao agroforestry systems [PDF]

Plant and Soil, 2022
Abstract Backgrounds and aims Litter protects the underlying soil, depending on litterfall and decomposition, but dynamics of the standing litter stock in agroforestry systems remain poorly understood. We aimed to unravel effects of litter quality, temporal patterns, microclimate, and a possible home-field advantage (HFA)

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.

Spatial-temporal variation in litterfall in seasonally dry tropical forests in Northeastern Brazil [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2019
The production of litterfall is essential for nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. From November 2009 to October 2011, analyzed the monthly litterfall production in two areas of Caatinga, a type of Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest located in the ...

Temporal Variation of Litterfall and Nutrient Return of Serianthes nelsonii Merr. in a Tropical Karst Forest

Plants, 2022
Trees contribute to ecosystem nutrient cycling through the amount, timing, and composition of litterfall. Understanding the nature of this contribution from endangered tree species may aid in species and habitat recovery efforts.

Phosphorus limitation of aboveground production in northern hardwood forests [PDF]

, 2018
Forest productivity on glacially derived soils with weatherable phosphorus (P) is expected to be limited by nitrogen (N), according to theories of long-term ecosystem development.

Elevated CO₂ does not increase eucalypt forest productivity on a low-phosphorus soil [PDF]

, 2017
Rising atmospheric CO2 stimulates photosynthesis and productivity of forests, offsetting CO2 emissions. Elevated CO2 experiments in temperate planted forests yielded ~23% increases in productivity over the initial years.
