The effect of processing method of broiler litter on pasteurization, nitrogen loss and nitrogen utilization by sheep
Various broiler litter processing methods were evaluated. Treatments effective for litter pasteurization were dry heating at a depth of 0.63 cm for 20 min; autoclaving for 10 min. or longer; dry heating following the addition of 1 to 4 g of paraformaldehyde (PFA) per 100 g of litter at depths of …

Litter Breakdown And Benthic Invertebrate Detritivores From A Hydrologically Restored Stream
… streams. Many factors influence the rate of litter decay, but there is a lack of research on how stream restorations, that aim to restore hydrologic functions, influence litter breakdown. This study compared litter processing rates and macroinvertebrate detritivore assemblages between a …

The effects of accelerated soil acidification on aggrading temperate deciduous forests: The Fernow Experimental Forest Long Term Soil Productivity (LTSP) Study at 13 years
… that Pseudopolydesmus serratus millipedes, leaf litter processing invertebrates that contain high levels of Ca, are negatively affected by 13 years of simulated acidic deposition in temperate deciduous forests. The negative effect of N addition on millipede populations, however, could not be tied …

Litter Decomposition in Created and Adjacent Forested Wetlands of the Coastal Plain of Virginia
Litter decomposition is a poorly understood function of constructed and natural forested wetlands. This study compared rates of litter mass loss, changes in litter morphology, and associated macroinvertebrate populations in constructed and natural non-tidal wetlands. Two sets of wetlands …
