Decreasing water availability reduces productivity in Swiss forests along an altitudinal gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests are one of the most important terrestrial carbon sinks, but are increasingly under pressure due to drought, heat and the occurrence of extreme events. There are opposing longer term trends for European forest growth reported, and severe drought and disturbance ...

Litterfall Production and Decomposition in Three Types of Land Use in Bengkulu Protection Forest

Planta Tropika: Jurnal Agrosains, 2021
Most of the social forestry program plantations in Bengkulu are in the form of mixed planting of coffee or rubber trees. The type of land use affects the production and decomposition of litterfall, which play an important role in nutrient cycle.

Developmental plasticity drives converge nt shifts in phosphorus acquisition strategies towards root phosphatase activity in Moso bamboo under nitrogen addition

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition is a major driver of global change. However, its effects on the developmental plasticity of plant nutrient strategies remain poorly understood.

Trade‐offs between soil biodiversity and agricultural expansion: Evidence from litter decomposition dynamics in Madagascar

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐Field Advantage (HFA) theory—positing that litter decomposes faster at its site of origin—allows us to disentangle the respective influences of litter quality, soil biota composition, and microclimate on shifts in litter decomposition following land use conversion.

Effects of rubber intercropping with native trees on litterfall and litter main nutrient return in Hainan Island, China

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Understanding the process of litterfall production is crucial for sustainable development of plantations. However, the underlying dynamics of litterfall and its nutrient return in plantation agroforestry systems remain unclear.

Seasonal dynamics of litterfall production and carbon input in arid mangroves: Modelling aboveground litterfall in Arabian Gulf mangroves using remotely sensed and ground data [PDF]

One Ecosystem
In mangrove ecosystems, the significance of litterfall as a key contributor to ecosystem productivity and soil nutrient dynamics is well established. This study conducted a comprehensive analysis of litterfall patterns within a hyper-arid saline mangrove

Potential variables forcing litterfall in a lower montane evergreen forest using Granger and superposed epoch analyses

Ecosphere, 2023
The interplay between long‐term environmental variability and litterfall is complex and through this study, we quantified the response of peak leaf, flower, and fruit litterfall production to such variability in a lower montane evergreen forest located ...

Arctic plants can take up inorganic nitrogen year‐round

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of year‐round, Arctic seasonal periods as used throughout the paper and their relation to the 15 repeated measuring periods (top) and the three a priori contrasts (middle) used for statistical testing of seasonality in N‐uptake. Summary Arctic tundra experiences strong climatic seasonality, with cold and long winters, but effective ...

Different Patterns Of Nutrient Cycling In Contiguous Phytophysiognomies Of Atlantic Forest, Brazil

Floresta e Ambiente, 2020
The present study aimed to evaluate fine aboveground litterfall, deposition of nitrogen and phosphorus from total litterfall and leaf litter decomposition in areas of tall forest (Mata Alta) and low forest on sandy soils (Mussununga) in southeastern ...
