Equilibrium responses of global net primary production and carbon storage to doubled atmospheric carbon dioxide: sensitivity to changes in vegetation nitrogen concentration [PDF]

, 1997
We ran the terrestrial ecosystem model (TEM) for the globe at 0.5° resolution for atmospheric CO2 concentrations of 340 and 680 parts per million by volume (ppmv) to evaluate global and regional responses of net primary production (NPP) and carbon ...

Annual litterfall Production in the Medium-high Tides Mangrove Area of Angke Kapuk Protected Forest

Journal of Natural Resources and Environmental Management
Litterfall production in the mangrove ecosystem is essential for the mangrove community. It also has an essential role in contributing carbon to estuaries in the tropics.

Litterfall production and nutrient deposition through leaf fallen in three tamaulipan thornscrub communities, north-eastern Mexico [PDF]

, 2014
Litterfall and the contents of macro- and micro-nutrients derived from its decomposition contribute greatly to the growth and productivity of forest ecosystem.

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

Drivers of inter-year variability of plant production and decomposers across contrasting island ecosystems [PDF]

, 2012
Despite the likely importance of inter-year dynamics of plant production and consumer biota for driving community- and ecosystem-level processes, very few studies have explored how and why these dynamics vary across contrasting ecosystems.

Climate drivers of litterfall biomass dynamics in three types of forest stands on the Loess Plateau

Ecological Indicators
Litterfall is a link in the energy flow and material cycling of ecosystems, which maintain the primary productivity of forests. However, there is no consensus regarding the factors driving for the litterfall biomass dynamics because of the high spatial ...

Carbon Stock and Environmental Variations of Typical Plantations in Mufu Mountain in Hubei Province, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystems play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. As a significant terrestrial carbon sink, plantations exhibit carbon stock patterns that are shaped by tree species composition, stand structure, and environmental conditions. Here, we investigated typical plantation types in the Mufu Mountain, Hubei Province.

Litter dynamics and phenology of Melaleuca quinquenervia in south Florida [PDF]

, 2002
We monitored litterfall biomass at six different sites of melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) S.T. Blake) forested wetlands in South Florida from July 1997 to June 1999.

Integrating indigenous crops in agroforestry systems: Lesser yam and teak mixed systems are more profitable than monocultures in Indonesia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Major staple crops are often introduced and cultivated in monocultures. Yams are staple crops native to the majority of low‐ and middle‐income countries and can provide an alternative to introduced staple crops. We showed that lesser yams cultivated together with teak trees (planted at the border of the farm) are more profitable than lesser yam ...
