Decomposition of grasses in a South African savanna
… decomposition. In the prairies and steppes, litterbag methods employed investigate decomposition when litter is on the soil, even though the importance of carryover from standing litter is recognized. Standing litter results in high carryover which slows down decomposition thereby hindering …

Tree functional diversity affects litter decomposition and arthropod community composition in a tropical forest
… similar to that measured with the conventional litterbag method and consequently, mesocosms are an effective method to measure litter decomposition and soil respiration in a single arena. Decomposition varied among litter types, as expected based on their physical and chemical properties, …

Decomposition Dynamics in Restored and Naturally Recovering Atlantic White Cedar (<i>Chamaecyparis thyoides</i>) Wetlands
… Atlantic white cedar wetlands. Using standard litterbags for leaf litter and a modified litterbag technique for roots, decay dynamics of naturally regenerating and restored Atlantic white cedar stands were measured to compare ecosystem development trends with restoration conditions. Effects on …

Decomposition and Nitrogen Release From Leucaena leucocephala,senna siamea, and Flemingia macrophylla Litter in managed alleys for maize in Zambia:Infuence of inorganic-N and litter Quality
… were investigated under field conditions by the litterbag technique. The species studied in 1994/1995 were Leucaena leucocephala, Senna siamea and Flemingia macrophylla. This study was superimposed on an existing alley cropping trial. In the on-going experiment , maize (variety MM 603,3-way …

Reconstruction of the Late and Mid-Pleistocene climate and landscape history in SE-Central Europe - A paleopedological and geochemical multi-proxy approach in loess-paleosol studies.
… on modern soil profiles and samples from litterbag experiments suggest that in a LPSS these proxies might be biased by microbial reworking. Procedures for correcting n-alkane ratios based on the odd over even predominance as reworking indicator have been developed. Hence, these studies …

Productivity and nutrient relations of trees in deciduous forests differing in tree species diversity
… und mittels eines Streuzersetzungsexperiments ( litterbag experiment ) wurden 22 Monate lang die Abbauraten der Streu, des Ligningehaltes in der Streu und die Nährstofffreisetzungsraten bestimmt.Die gesamte oberirdische Biomasse ist signifikant mit der Baumartendiversität von 480 auf 200 Mg ha-1 …

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 …
