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

Measurements of soil respiration and simple models dependent on moisture and temperature for an Amazonian southwest tropical forest [PDF]
, 2008 Soil respiration plays a significant role in the carbon cycle of Amazonian tropical forests, although in situ measurements have only been poorly reported and the dependence of soil moisture and soil temperature also weakly understood.

Litterfall: A Bio-indicator for Edge Effect in a Semi-deciduous Seasonal Forest
Floresta e Ambiente, 2018 This study aimed to evaluate the use of litterfall as an indicator of fragmentation in a Semi-deciduous Seasonal Forest in Além Paraíba, MG, Brazil. Litterfall was collected monthly for one year in conical collectors (0.25 m2 of surface), located at ...

Forest Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Cycles under Biomass Harvest: Stability, Transient Response, and Feedback [PDF]
, 2016 Biomass harvest generates an imbalance in forest carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles and the nonlinear biogeochemical responses may have long-term consequences for soil fertility and sustainable management.

Litterfall production in intact and selectively logged forests in southern of Amazonia as a function of basal area of vegetation and plant density [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2015 Nutrient recycling in the forest is linked to the production and decomposition of litter, which are essential processes for forest maintenance, especially in regions of nutritionally poor soils.

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.
