<i>Ligustrum lucidum</i> invasion decreases abundance and relative contribution of soil fauna to litter decomposition but increases decomposition rate in a subtropical montane forest of northwestern Argentina
نویسندگان
چکیده
Invasive plant species can alter litter decomposition rates through changes in quality, environment conditions, and decomposer organisms (microflora soil fauna), but limited research has examined their direct impact on fauna. We assessed the abundance relative contribution of meso- macrofauna to a forest invaded by Ligustrum lucidum W.T. Aiton noninvaded subtropical mountain northwestern Argentina, using litterbags (0.01, 2, 6 mm mesh size). Additionally, we analyzed quality properties both types. Soil fauna was lower than forest. The important types, mesofauna significant only Litter significantly faster forest, consistent with its higher compared uninvaded Invaded had accumulation, moisture, greater pH Our results showed that although less abundant played pronounced role these did not translate into reduced rate due produced

Breeding Biology of Passerines in a Subtropical Montane Forest in Northwestern Argentina
The breeding ecology of south temperate bird species is less widely known than that of north temperate species, yet because they comprise a large portion of the world’s avian diversity, knowledge of their breeding ecology can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the geographic diversity of avian reproductive traits and life history strategies. We provide the first detailed examin...

15 صفحه اولLitter input decreased the response of soil organic matter decomposition to warming in two subtropical forest soils
Interaction effect of temperature and litter input on SOM decomposition is poor understood, restricting accurate prediction of the dynamics and stocks of soil organic carbon under global warming. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted an incubation experiment by adding (13)C labeled leaf-litter into a coniferous forest (CF) soil and a broadleaved forest (BF) soil. In this experiment, respo...

Differential contribution of soil biota groups to plant litter decomposition as mediated by soil use
Plant decomposition is dependant on the activity of the soil biota and its interactions with climate, soil properties, and plant residue inputs. This work assessed the roles of different groups of the soil biota on litter decomposition, and the way they are modulated by soil use. Litterbags of different mesh sizes for the selective exclusion of soil fauna by size (macro, meso, and microfauna) w...
