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, ...
Litter decomposition by soil fauna: effect of land use in agroecosystems
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
Soil fauna plays a key role in organic matter decomposition. Litter decomposition depends on the relationships of soil fauna and microorganisms as well as climate and litter quality. The decomposer community is sensitive ...
Determinantes locais da decomposição foliar e de raízes finas em um ecossistema semiárido do nordeste brasileiro
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do NorteBRUFRNPrograma de Pós-Graduação em EcologiaBioecologia Aquática, 2012-02-22)
The decomposition process exercises an extensive control over the carbon cycle, affecting its availability and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. The understanding of leaf decomposition patterns above the soil and ...
Analytical models of soil and litter decomposition: Solutions for mass loss and time-dependent decay rates
(Elsevier, 2012-07)
Combining decomposition data with process-based biogeochemical models is essential to quantify the turnover of organic carbon (C) in surface litter and soil organic matter (SOM). Long-term decomposition may be suitably ...
DECOMPOSITION RATES OF SPENT FUNGAL REFUSE OF ATTA-SEXDENS (HYMENOPTERA, FORMICIDAE) AND IMPLICATIONS FOR ESTIMATING FORAGE INTAKE BY LEAF-CUTTING ANTS
(Gustav Fischer Verlag Jena, 1994-05-01)
Using simulated ceramic refuse chambers, field decomposition studies were performed on the spent fungal refuse of the lead-cutting ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa. Refuse half life was estimated at 40 days, with complete ...
Litter decomposition of emergent macrophytes in a floodplain marsh of the Lower Paraná River
(Elsevier Science, 2001-05-15)
The role of litter decomposition on organic matter accumulation and nutrient cycling was studied in a floodplain marsh of the Lower Paraná River by means of in situ litterbag experiments. The effect of waterborne nutrients ...
From leaf traits to agroecosystem functioning: effects of changing resource use strategy during silphium domestication on litter quality and decomposition rate
(Springer, 2022-02)
Aims: We asked if structural and chemical changes in leaf traits, brought about by early domestication in perennial Silphium integrifolium Michx. (Asteraceae), have influenced litter quantity and quality, and decomposition ...
Dung decomposition and associated beetles in a fragmented temperate forest
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2004)
An active/reactive predispatch model incorporating ramp rate constraints solved by dual decomposition/lagrangian relaxation
(2004-12-01)
The Predispatch model (PD) calculates a short-term generation policy for power systems. In this work a PD model is proposed that improves two modeling aspects generally neglected in the literature: voltage/reactive power ...
