Effects of climate and atmospheric nitrogen deposition on early to mid-term stage litter decomposition across biomes
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07)
Litter decomposition is a key process for carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems and is mainly controlled by environmental conditions, substrate quantity and quality as well as microbial community abundance ...
The importance of mesofauna and decomposition environment on leaf decomposition in three forests in southeastern Brazil
(SPRINGERDORDRECHT, 2012)
We examined the effects of soil mesofauna and the litter decomposition environment (above and belowground) on leaf decomposition rates in three forest types in southeastern Brazil. To estimate decomposition experimentally, ...
Leaf litter decomposition in tropical and temperate rainforests: teaching climate-driven ecosystem processes outside the science classroom.
(External Scientific Advisory Committe (ESAC), 2012)
Recovering from forest-to-pasture conversion: leaf decomposition in central Amazonia, Brazil (short communication) : Land use and leaf decomposition in Central Amazonia
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-01)
Land-use change in tropical forests can affect the micro-environment for decomposition under modified canopies. In turn, decomposition may have consequences for soil fertility and ecosystem sustainability. The effects of ...
Decomposition of the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis litter at two depths
(Inst Investigaciones Agropecuarias, 2008-04-01)
The decomposition of soil litter contributes to maintaining agricultural sustainability, since the nutrients released by microbial activity are determinants of the net productivity of the agroecosystem. The decomposition ...
Non-symbiotic nitrogen fixation during leaf litter decomposition in an old-growth temperate rain forest of Chiloé Island, southern Chile: Effects of single versus mixed species litter
(Ecological Society of Australia, 2010)
Heterotrophic nitrogen fixation is a key ecosystem process in unpolluted, temperate old-growth forests
of southern South America as a source of new nitrogen to ecosystems. Decomposing leaf litter is an energy-rich
substrate ...
Effects of alternative silvicultural systems on litter decomposition and nutrients dynamics in sub-Antarctic forests
(Springer, 2019-06-12)
Forest harvesting is one of the main economic practices in South Patagonia. The impacts produced by forest harvesting have been studied by numerous investigations. And it is known that forest harvesting affects the ...
There's no place like home? An exploration of the mechanisms behind plant litter-decomposer affinity in terrestrial ecosystems
(Wiley, 2014-10)
Litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems is an important first step for carbon and nutrient cycling, as senescent plant material is degraded and consequently incorporated, along with microbial products, into soil ...
Differential contribution of soil biota groups to plant litter decomposition as mediated by soil use
(PeerJ, 2015-03)
Plant decomposition is dependant on the activity of the soil biota and its interactions with climate, soil properties, and plant residue inputs. This work assessed the roles of different groups of the soil biota on litter ...
Differential contribution of soil biota groups to plant litter decomposition as mediated by soil use
(PeerJ, 2014-12-18)
Plant decomposition is dependant on the activity of the soil biota and its interactions
with climate, soil properties, and plant residue inputs. This work assessed the roles
of different groups of the soil biota on litter ...
