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 ...
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 ...
Livestock grazing affects microclimate conditions for decomposition process through changes in vegetation structure in mountain grasslands
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2018-08)
It is often assumed that a change in litter quality is the main driver of alterations in the decomposition process when grazers modify vegetation structure. Soil microclimate is also modified, but this driver of decomposition ...
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. ...
Fungal inoculation effect on post-harvest sugarcane residue decomposition under field conditions
(Universidad Nacional de Tucumán. Facultad de Agronomía y Zootecnia, 2018-12)
Fungal inoculation effect on post-harvest sugarcane residue (SCR) decomposition in field conditions was studied. In vitro interaction between selected fungi was determined by direct confrontation. Mycelial growth response ...
Does decomposition of standrd materials differ among grassland patches maintained by livestock?
(Wiley, 2010-05)
Grazing can modify vegetation structure and species composition through selective consumption, modifying plant litter quality and hence decomposability. In most grasslands, moderate stocking rates maintain a mosaic of ...
Plant traits related to leaf decomposition processes in arid ecosystems of northern Patagonia
(Oxford University Press, 2019-04)
Aims: Plants play an important role in ecosystem processes. Functional meaning of trait variation in wide environmental gradients is well known but is scarcely known across narrow gradients. We analyze the variation of ...
Leaf Litterfall and Decomposition of Polylepis reticulata in the Treeline of the Ecuadorian Andes
(INTERNATIONAL MOUNTAIN SOCIETY, 2018)
Litterfall and organic matter decomposition in a seasonal forest of the eastern Chaco (Argentina)
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2001)
