Leaf-litter decomposition of the mangrove species Avicennia schaueriana, Laguncularia racemosa and Rhizophora mangle
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-11)
This study evaluated the decomposition process of leaf litter from the main Brazilian mangrove species Avicennia schaueriana, Laguncularia racemosa and Rhizophora mangle. Senescent leaves were collected, dried and placed ...
Scaling-up from species to ecosystems: how close can we get to actual decomposition?
(Gauthier-villars/editions Elsevier, 2015-01)
Predicting global changes and their effects on ecosystem functioning has been a central issue of ecology during the last decades. Scaling-up from species characteristics to ecosystem processes is a common approach to ...
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 ...
Leaf litter decomposition from native and non-native species in a freshwater forested wetland of Chile
(2017)
Decomposition of leaf litter is a fundamental process for the functioning of forested wetlands. The rapid increment of forest plantations has involved a greater contribution of leaf litter of exotic origin to these ecosystems. ...
Decomposition in tropical forests: a pan-tropical study of the effects of litter type, litter placement and mesofaunal exclusion across a precipitation gradient
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009)
1. Litter decomposition recycles nutrients and causes large fluxes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It is typically assumed that climate, litter quality and decomposer communities determine litter decay rates, yet ...
Edge and herbivory effects on leaf litter decomposability in a subtropical dry forest
(Springer Tokyo, 2017-02)
It is increasingly recognized that understanding the functional consequences of landscape change requires knowledge of aboveground and belowground processes and their interactions. For this reason, we provide novel information ...
The importance of macro- and micro-nutrients over climate for leaf litter decomposition and nutrient release in Patagonian temperate forests
(Elsevier Science, 2019-06-01)
Temperate forests play an important role in the global carbon (C) cycle. Extensive research on litter decomposition in temperate forests in the Northern Hemisphere have greatly contributed to our conceptual framework of ...
Leaf-litter decomposition of the mangrove species Avicennia schaueriana, Laguncularia racemosa and Rhizophora mangle
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-03-01)
This study evaluated the decomposition process of leaf litter from the main Brazilian mangrove species Avicennia schaueriana, Laguncularia racemosa and Rhizophora mangle. Senescent leaves were collected, dried and placed ...
Solar radiation exposure accelerates decomposition and biotic activity in surface litter but not soil in a semiarid woodland ecosystem in Patagonia, Argentina
(Springer, 2019-12)
Aims: Photodegradation of senescent plant material has been identified as an important vector of aboveground carbon (C) loss in aridland ecosystems, but the consequences for biotic activity and soil C in the field are not ...
