Litterfall production, decomposition and litter nutrient contents in a mined area revegetated with different forest species
نویسندگان
چکیده
Afforestation of sites disturbed after bauxite mining is the favorite technique to restore all ecosystem functions. The nature tree species used for revegetation post-mining land can accelerate recovery soil organic matter and nutrient cycles. This study aimed determine litterfall production, decomposition rate content from three types forest cover ( Eucalyptus , Anadenanthera peregrina mixed plantation 16 native species) planted in a area recovery. Litterfall [...]

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 کاملMultiple nutrients limit litterfall and decomposition in a tropical forest.
To explore the importance of 12 elements in litter production and decomposition, we fertilized 36 1600 m(2)-plots with combinations of N, P, K, or micronutrients (i.e. B, Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Mo, S, Zn) for 6 years in a lowland Panamanian forest. The 90% of litter falling as leaves and twigs failed to increase with fertilization, but reproductive litter (fruits and flowers) increased by 43% with...
متن کاملInfluence of Terrestrial Molluscs on Litter Decomposition and Nutrient Release in a Hawaiian Rain Forest
The roles of terrestrial molluscs in many important ecosystem processes are largely unknown, particularly in tropical forests. It has been suggested from studies in temperate forests that snails/slugs contribute to litter decomposition directly (by their own metabolism) and/ or indirectly (by habitat modification enhancing micro-arthropod or microbial activity). Forty-two mesocosms were establi...
متن کاملNutrient enrichment increased species richness of leaf litter fungal assemblages in a tropical forest.
Microbial communities play a major role in terrestrial ecosystem functioning, but the determinates of their diversity and functional interactions are not well known. In this study, we explored leaf litter fungal diversity in a diverse Panama lowland tropical forest in which a replicated factorial N, P, K and micronutrient fertilization experiment of 40 × 40 m plots had been ongoing for nine yea...
متن کاملForest Litter Production, Chemistry, and Decomposition following Two Years of Free-air Co2 Enrichment
Increases in tree biomass may be an important sink for CO2 as the atmospheric concentration continues to increase. Tree growth in temperate forests is often limited by the availability of soil nutrients. To assess whether soil nutrient limitation will constrain forest productivity under high atmospheric CO2, we studied the changes in forest litter production and nutrient cycling in a maturing s...
