Nothofagus Litterfall and Litter Decomposition
South Chilean forest ecosystems represent one of the largest areas of old-growth temperate rainforests remaining in the Southern hemisphere and have a high ecological value, but suffer from deforestation, invasion by exotic species, fragmentation, and increasing atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition. To support sustainable forest management, more knowledge is required on nutrient cycling of these...
متن کاملControls Over Leaf Litter and Soil Nitrogen Fixation in Two Lowland Tropical Rain Forests
Global com parisons suggest that rates o f N fixation in tropical rain forests m ay be am ong the highest on earth. However, data supporting this contention are rare, and the factors th a t regulate N hxation w ithin the biom e rem ain largely unknow n. W e conducted a full-factorial (N X P) fertilization experim ent in two lowland tropical rain forests in C osta Rica to explore the effects o f...
متن کاملControls over leaf litter decomposition in wet tropical forests.
Tropical forests play a substantial role in the global carbon (C) cycle and are projected to experience significant changes in climate, highlighting the importance of understanding the factors that control organic matter decomposition in this biome. In the tropics, high temperature and rainfall lead to some of the highest rates of litter decomposition on earth, and given the near-optimal abioti...

متن کاملPredicting Aboveground Biomass Increment of Tropical Forests from Litter-fall
Predicting Aboveground Biomass Increment (ABI) of forests is important in evaluating primary productivity, and hence aboveground C sequestration rate and C policy implementation. Although there are direct methods such as remote sensing to predict the ABI, it is important to develop ground-based indirect methods, particularly for tropical forests, due to their stratification, complex structure a...
