Litterfall Production and Nutrient Deposition Through Leaf Fallen in three Tamaulipan Thornscrub Communities, North-eastern Mexico

International Journal of Bio-Resource and Stress Management, 2023
Litterfall and the contents of macro- and micro-nutrients derived from its decomposition contribute greatly to the growth and productivity of forest ecosystem.

Reduced litterfall and decomposition alters nutrient cycling following conversion of tropical natural forests to rubber plantations

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Natural tropical landscapes have been continuously altered by land use change and other climate factors. Forest management practices have transformed massive tropical forests into rubber plantations throughout mainland Southeast Asia and Southwest China.

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

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1662-1674, September 2026.
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 ...

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 ...

Plants Uptake Substantial Water From the Surface Organic Layer in Highly Permeable Karst Critical Zones

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Plants growing in highly permeable karst critical zones are exposed to shallow soils and rapid hydrological turnover. The surface organic layer is recognized as a key ecohydrological interface in these environments, yet its direct contribution to plant water uptake has rarely been quantified.

Nutrient inputs by litterfall into ecosystems in Anatolian black pine stands at Türkmendağı

Turkish Journal of Forestry, 2020
In this study, the above-ground biomass, the amount of annual litterfall of tree components (needle, branch, cone, bark, and other) and the amount of carbon and plant nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Na, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) passing into the forest floor by ...

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

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 2726-2736, September 2026.
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 ...

Regional and temporal patterns of litterfall in tropical South America [PDF]

, 2009
The production of aboveground soft tissue represents an important share of total net primary production in tropical rain forests. Here we draw from a large number of published and unpublished datasets (n=81 sites) to assess the determinants of litterfall
