Leaf litter traits drive community structure and functioning in a natural aquatic microcosm
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-04-01)
Leaf litter fuels secondary production in many aquatic ecosystems. Although the identity and species richness of leaf litter have been shown to influence ecosystem functioning and food-web composition, it has been challenging ...
Do litter manipulations affect leaf functional traits of savanna woody plants?
(Springer, 2014-01-01)
Plant litter is the layer composed of dead plant material that covers soil surfaces in terrestrial ecosystems. It is an important pool of essential nutrients for soil and plants, serving also as a protective layer on the ...
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 ...
Warming and leaf litter functional diversity, not litter quality, drive decomposition in a freshwater ecosystem
(Nature Research, 2020-11-23)
Environment, litter composition and decomposer community are known to be the main drivers of litter decomposition in aquatic ecosystems. However, it remains unclear whether litter quality or functional diversity prevails ...
Effect of litter substrates on the performance, carcass traits, and environmental comfort of red-winged tinamou (Rhynchotus rufescens)
(2016-07-01)
The study aimed at evaluating the effect of litter substrates on the performance, carcass traits, and environmental comfort of red-winged tinamou (Rhynchotus rufescens). In this experiment, 160 birds, with 100 and 300 days ...
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 ...
Predicting leaf litter decomposability: an exploratory assessment of leaf traits, litter traits and spectral properties in six Mediterranean herbaceous speciesPrediciendo la descomponibilidad de la hojarasca: evaluación de caracteres funcionales de hoja, de broza y de propiedades espectrales de seis especies herbáceas del Mediterráneo
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2015-03)
Algunos trabajos han explorado métodos fáciles y rápidos de evaluar la decomponibilidad de la broza de grandes conjuntos de especies. Aquí evaluamos tres de los más utilizados en seis especies mediterráneas herbáceas de ...
