Seasonal litterfall dynamics in pine and oak forests of central forest steppe [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
The study of litterfall dynamics is of particular relevance in the forest-steppe zone, where forest ecosystems are characterized by high variability of climatic conditions and soil characteristics.

Monthly estimates of litterfall.

, 2012
Time series of total fine litterfall (solid line; mean±95% CI) and precipitation (dashed line; mean). Days indicate litter collections (n = 25) in 2006/07. Mean litterfall and rainfall were calculated over the fourteen days prior to collection.

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.

Soil Nitrogen Transformation Process Influenced by Litterfall Manipulation in Two Subtropical Forest Types

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Nitrogen (N) is often recognized as the primary limiting nutrient element for the growth and production of forests worldwide. Litterfall represents a significant pathway for returning nutrients from aboveground parts of trees to the soils and plays an ...

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

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 ...

Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

Double sampling may improve the efficiency of litterfall estimates

, 2007
The effort required for an extensive litterfall measurement campaign can be prohibitive. We propose a double sampling approach, in which a large set of traps is used in each stand to estimate total litterfall, and only a subset of these traps is sorted ...

Litterfall and element fluxes in secondary successional forests of South Korea

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Determining litterfall and corresponding element fluxes is valuable in understanding productivity and biogeochemical cycling in floristically distinct secondary successional zones.

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...
