Combined effects of leaf litter and soil microsite on decomposition process in arid rangelands
(Elsevier, 2013-01)
The objective of this study was to analyze the combined effects of leaf litter quality and soil properties on litter decomposition and soil nitrogen (N) mineralization at conserved (C) and disturbed by sheep grazing (D) ...
Direct and indirect effects of the fungal endophyte Epichloë uncinatum on litter decomposition of the host grass, Schedonorus pratensis
(Springer, 2017-09)
Microbial plant symbionts have been suggested to mediate plant-soil feedback and affect ecosystem functions. Systemic Epichloë fungal endophytes of grasses are found to mediate litter decomposition. These effects are often ...
Comparação de Diferentes Modelos para Avaliação Genética de Características de Desempenho Pós-desmama em Suínos
(2001-11-01)
The aim of this work was to evaluate different models in which the random effects of litter and maternal genetic (correlated or not with the direct additive genetic effect) were added in sequence to the direct additive ...
Home field advantage effects on decomposition of leaf litter in tropical riparian forests: effects of restoration age, litter quality and soil nutrients
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Ambientais - PPGCAmCâmpus São Carlos, 2020-07-16)
Decomposition of organic matter is influenced by several biotic and abiotic factors. Litter
quality, soil nutrient concentration and plant-soil interactions are major factors influencing
this ecosystem process in forests ...
Can persuasive and demonstrative messages to visitors reduce littering in river beaches?
(Elsevier, 2016-09)
Littering of public areas is a significant problem worldwide. Here we evaluate the success of persuasive and demonstrative messages at reducing littering in highly visited river beaches in Argentina. We made an intervention ...
Leaf-litter production in human-modified Amazonian forests following the El Niño-mediated drought and fires of 2015–2016
(2021-09-15)
Leaf-litter production is an essential part of the carbon cycle of tropical forests. In the Amazon, it is influenced by climate, presenting high levels during the driest months of the year. However, it is less established ...
Plant litter decomposition in a semi-arid rangeland of Argentina: species and defoliation effects
(Australian Rangeland Society, 2019-09)
Plant litter decomposition is critical for terrestrial ecosystem productivity. Poa ligularis Nees ex Steud and Nassella tenuis (Phil.) Barkworth are native, desirable perennial grasses in central Argentina’s rangelands. ...
What is left behind when the lights go off? Comparing the abundance and composition of litter in urban areas with different intensity of nightlife use in Mar del Plata, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd., 2014-02)
Nightlife activities represents an important source of urban litter; the latter often being left behind or abandoned in public places and streets. Mar del Plata is a very important city on the Atlantic coast of Argentina ...
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 ...
Effect of nitrogen addition and litter removal on understory vegetation, soil mesofauna, and litter decomposition in loblolly pine plantations in subtropical Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2018-12)
Loblolly pine monocultures have been increasingly expanding in the Atlantic Forest of South America especially in northern Argentina. Pine plantations can modify understory vegetation and soil characteristics due to the ...
