Warming and leaf litter functional diversity, not litter quality, drive decomposition in a freshwater ecosystem
(Nature Research, 2020-11-23)
Environment, litter composition and decomposer community are known to be the main drivers of litter decomposition in aquatic ecosystems. However, it remains unclear whether litter quality or functional diversity prevails ...
Leaf litter traits drive community structure and functioning in a natural aquatic microcosm
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-04-01)
Leaf litter fuels secondary production in many aquatic ecosystems. Although the identity and species richness of leaf litter have been shown to influence ecosystem functioning and food-web composition, it has been challenging ...
Decomposition of the Rubber Tree Hevea brasiliensis Litter at Two Depths
(Instituto de Investigaciones Agropecuarias, INIA, 2008)
Nitrogen fertilizer increased litter deposition and litter N in warm-climate grasslands
(Springer, 2021-01-26)
In warm-climate grasslands, litter deposition and decomposition are one of the main pathway of nutrient cycling. The application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer or the inclusion of a legume in such grasslands modifies litter ...
Decomposition of and nutrient dynamics in leaf litter and roots of Poa ligularis and Stipa gyneriodes
(Academic Press Ltd-elsevier Science Ltd, 2003-11)
A field experiment was conducted in a temperate semi-arid grassland of central Argentina to determine mass loss and P and N concentrations of decaying leaf litter and roots of Poa ligularis (high-quality litter) and Stipa ...
Is litter decomposition influenced by forest size and invertebrate detritivores during the dry season in semiarid Chaco Serrano?
(Elsevier, 2016-04)
Forest loss can affect ecosystem processes such as litter decomposition. In semi-arid areas, where forest loss is increasing, soil fauna can play a particularly important role on litter decomposition. However, few studies ...
Combined effects of litter features, UV radiation, and soil water on litter decomposition in denuded areas of the arid Patagonian Monte
(Springer, 2016-09)
Aims: We evaluated the combined effects of litter type, UV radiation, and soil water on litter decomposition processes in denuded areas of the arid Patagonian Monte. Methods: We conducted a manipulative experiment with ...
Litter decomposition of woody species in shrublands of NW Patagonia: how much do functional groups and microsite conditions influence decomposition?
(Springer, 2017-06)
The study examined the effects of leaf traits, soil microsite, and microclimate characteristics on litter decomposition of the dominant species in two functional groups (FG), deciduous and evergreen, in shrublands in NW ...
Decomposition and nutrient dynamic of leaf litter and roots from palatable and unpalatable grasses in a semi-arid grassland
(Elsevier Science, 2001-09)
A field experiment was conducted in a temperate semi-arid grassland of central Argentina to test the hypothesis that decomposition of and nutrient release from leaf litter and roots are faster in Poa ligularis and Stipa ...
Leaf litter decomposition in three wetland types of the Paraná River floodplain
(Springer, 2006)
Leaf decomposition rates of nine types of litter, ranging in lignin content from 1.04 to 25.71%, were measured at three wetlands with different inundation regimes and related to internal and external factors. In these sites ...
