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, ...
Where does the forest come back from? Soil and litter seed banks and the juvenile bank as sources of vegetation resilience in a semiarid Neotropical forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-11)
The existence of reservoirs from which dominant plants recruit after disturbances is a key factor in ecosystem resilience. Where do woody species regenerate from in the semiarid Neotropical Chaco forest? Is land use affecting ...
Non-symbiotic nitrogen fixation during leaf litter decomposition in an old-growth temperate rain forest of Chiloé Island, southern Chile: Effects of single versus mixed species litter
(Ecological Society of Australia, 2010)
Heterotrophic nitrogen fixation is a key ecosystem process in unpolluted, temperate old-growth forests
of southern South America as a source of new nitrogen to ecosystems. Decomposing leaf litter is an energy-rich
substrate ...
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 ...
Development of Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) on Poultry Litter-Based Diets: Effect on Chemical Composition of Larvae
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2021-01-22)
In order to investigate a low-cost and sustainable food source, the present study evaluated the use of poultry litter for rearing Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus, 1758 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). The experiment was performed ...
Are corridors, fragment size and forest structure important for the conservation of leaf-litter lizards in a fragmented landscape?
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2009)
To investigate the implications of forest fragmentation for conservation of leaf-litter lizards the importance of fragment size, corridors and forest structure was examined in 20 forest fragments and six localities within ...
Fusarium equiseti LPSC 1166 and its in vitro role in the decay of Heterostachys ritteriana leaf litter
(Springer, 2018-03)
The role of microorganisms in litter degradation in arid and semi-arid zones, where soil and water salinization is one of the main factors limiting carbon turnover and decay, remains obscure. Heterostachys ritteriana ...
