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

open access: yesEcological 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.

Plant and soil biodiversity reveals past and potential future states of naturally regenerating and planted native forests

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Forest restoration can be achieved by promoting natural regeneration or planting tree seedlings, but the relative benefits of these widely used approaches are questioned. Soil communities may influence restoration outcomes but are usually ignored by monitoring schemes.

Data from: Fine litterfall in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

open access: yes, 2017
Litterfall is an essential component of tropical forest productivity, transferring nutrients from the vegetation back to soils. Here, we summarize the data from 105 estimates of fine litterfall production from 45 sites in the Atlantic Forest domain ...

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

open access: yesTurkish 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 ...

Quantity and quality of litterfall in young oak stands

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2014
Litterfall, an important component of the nutrient cycle in forest ecosystems, was measured for 9 years in young oak stands on two localities classified as beech-oak climax (Fageto-Quercetum).

Litterfall and Litter Decomposition in Pinus and Native Forests [PDF]

open access: yesFloresta e Ambiente, 2019
ABSTRACT Litter production and decomposition makes it possible to supply a good part of the nutrient demand of forest stands. Although several studies on this subject have been carried out in Pinus stands in different regions of Brazil, there are no records of studies carried out in the Northeast region, or in particular in the state of Bahia ...

Halophyte Litter Decomposition Shapes Soil Microbial Community Compositional Constancy by Regulating Resource Stoichiometry and Enzymatic Activity in a Microcosm Study

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The results in the manuscript underscore the species‐specific litter effects on soil‐microbe feedbacks, emphasizing the role of resource stoichiometry and enzymatic activity in shaping microbial stability in saline ecosystems. ABSTRACT A key knowledge gap exists in understanding how the decomposition of litter from different halophyte species ...

Hot spots or hot moments? Contextualizing the spatio‐temporal scale of research on animal inputs

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Mammals play important roles in redistributing elements across ecosystems, concentrating biogeochemical inputs across both space and time. However, research on zoogeochemical inputs is often constrained by logistical considerations, potentially limiting our knowledge of mammals' impacts on biogeochemical patterns and processes.
