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 ...
Do litter manipulations affect leaf functional traits of savanna woody plants?
(Springer, 2014-01-01)
Plant litter is the layer composed of dead plant material that covers soil surfaces in terrestrial ecosystems. It is an important pool of essential nutrients for soil and plants, serving also as a protective layer on the ...
Conspecific leaf litter and root competition inhibits shrub emergence in the Patagonian steppe
(Springer, 2019-09)
A critical stage in the establishment of new individuals is seedling emergence and litter is a main factor affecting this stage. Recent research found that adults of Chuquiraga avellanedae are overdispersed. Among several ...
What causes changes in plant litter quality and quantity as consequence of grazing in the Patagonian Monte: Plant cover reduction or changes in species composition?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-11)
In Patagonian Monte, as in other arid ecosystems, grazing has triggered changes in vegetation and soil such as plant cover reduction, changes in species composition and soil nutrient losses. Several mechanisms were proposed ...
Spatial and temporal variations of urban litter in Mar del Plata, the major coastal city of Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2012-02)
Urban littering is considered an important environmental and public issue globally. This problem isgrowing considerably within coastal communities of the southern region of South America. The goals of this study were to ...

Clonal teak litter in tropical soil: decomposition, nutrient cycling, and biochemical composition
(Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2022)
Effects of differential grazing on decomposition rate and nitrogen availability in a productive mountain grassland
(Springer, 2013-08)
Background and Aims Grazing may influence nutrient cycling in several ways. In productive mountain grasslands of central Argentina cattle grazing maintain a mosaic of different vegetation patches: lawns, grazed intensively ...
