Decomposition of the Rubber Tree Hevea brasiliensis Litter at Two Depths
(Instituto de Investigaciones Agropecuarias, INIA, 2008)
More than the sum of its parts? Assessing litter heterogeneity effects on the decomposition of litter mixtures through leaf chemistry
(Springer, 2008-02)
Different components of functional biodiversity, such as functional type richness and composition, have been reported to affect the decomposition of litter mixtures. In spite of the numerous reports of these effects, ...
Decomposition of and nutrient dynamics in leaf litter and roots of Poa ligularis and Stipa gyneriodes
(Academic Press Ltd-elsevier Science Ltd, 2003-11)
A field experiment was conducted in a temperate semi-arid grassland of central Argentina to determine mass loss and P and N concentrations of decaying leaf litter and roots of Poa ligularis (high-quality litter) and Stipa ...
Combined effects of litter features, UV radiation, and soil water on litter decomposition in denuded areas of the arid Patagonian Monte
(Springer, 2016-09)
Aims: We evaluated the combined effects of litter type, UV radiation, and soil water on litter decomposition processes in denuded areas of the arid Patagonian Monte. Methods: We conducted a manipulative experiment with ...
Descomposición del mantillo del árbol del caucho Hevea brasiliensis en dos profundidades
(2008-01-01)
The decomposition of soil litter contributes to maintaining agricultural sustainability, since the nutrients released by microbial activity are determinants of the net productivity of the agroecosystem. The decomposition ...
Is litter decomposition influenced by forest size and invertebrate detritivores during the dry season in semiarid Chaco Serrano?
(Elsevier, 2016-04)
Forest loss can affect ecosystem processes such as litter decomposition. In semi-arid areas, where forest loss is increasing, soil fauna can play a particularly important role on litter decomposition. However, few studies ...
Decomposition of the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis litter at two depths
(Inst Investigaciones Agropecuarias, 2008-04-01)
The decomposition of soil litter contributes to maintaining agricultural sustainability, since the nutrients released by microbial activity are determinants of the net productivity of the agroecosystem. The decomposition ...
Chemistry and toughness predict leaf litter decomposition rates over a wide spectrum of functional types and taxa in central Argentina
(Springer, 2000-03)
Litter decomposition, a major determinant of ecosystem functioning, is strongly influenced by the litter quality of different species. We aimed at (1) relating interspecific variation in leaf litter decomposition rate to ...
Decomposition of the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis litter at two depths
(Inst Investigaciones Agropecuarias, 2014)
Long-term impact of domestic ungulates versus the local controls of the litter decomposition process in arid steppes
(Springer, 2021-08)
Aims: Soil processes in arid ecosystems are strongly controlled by resource scarcity. Grazing intensification can induce changes in ecosystem processes through multiple pathways, adding new constraints to those of local ...
