Urbanisation reduces litter breakdown rates and affects benthic invertebrate structure in Pampean streams
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2019-08)
The Pampean region has become one of the most urbanised areas in South America with more than 91% of the Argentinean population. This region is ideal for human settlements that have historically chosen riverine grassland ...
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 ...
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 ...
Decomposition and nutrient release from leaf litter in Eucalyptus grandis plantations on three different soils in Entre Ríos, Argentina
(Universidad Austral de Chile, Facultad de Ciencias Forestales, 2008)
Leaf litter decomposition in three wetland types of the Paraná River floodplain
(Springer, 2006)
Leaf decomposition rates of nine types of litter, ranging in lignin content from 1.04 to 25.71%, were measured at three wetlands with different inundation regimes and related to internal and external factors. In these sites ...
Plant traits, litter quality and decomposition in a Mediterranean old-field succession
(Springer, 2007-07)
Human-induced changes in land use lead to major changes in plant community composition which have strong effects on ecosystem processes. Here, we tested the hypothesis that changes in traits of living plants induced by ...
