Disentangling Forest Dynamics for Litter Biomass Production in a Biosphere Reserve in Central India

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Investments in energy sources are scaling up across India to improve climate security and further mitigate future climate change. Forest biomass and litterfall pattern play an important role in the sustainable management of forests and the efficient ...

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.

The Content of Heavy Metals in the Soil and Litterfall an a Beech-Pine-Spruce Stand in Northern Poland

Archives of Environmental Protection, 2014
The concentrations of Cu, Mn, Ni and Zn in the soil and litterfall, as well as influx of the elements to the soils with litterfall were studied in a mixed beech-pine-spruce stand in northern Poland during the years 2007–2009.

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

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 ...

Ecology of litterfall production of giant bamboo Dendrocalamus asper in a watershed area [PDF]

Global Journal of Environmental Science and Management, 2017
Giant bamboo Dendrocalamus asper is recommended in environmental and livelihood programs in the Philippines due to its various ecological, economic and social benefits. However, there are limited data on the ecology of giant bamboo litterfall production,

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.

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.

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.

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.
