Xue Li; Luo Shan, 2002: Seasonal changes in the nutrient concentrations of leaves and leaf litter in a young Cryptomeria japonica stand. The leaves and leaf litter of Cryptomeria japonica was collected from April 1994 to March 1995 to describe the seasonal changes in nutrient concentrations in leaves and leaf litter. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) concentrations wer...

Smita Bisht; Mridula Negi; Negi, J.D.S., 2003: Seasonal nutrient variation in foliage and leaf litter and their conservation in Dalbergia sissoo ecosystems. Monthly foliage and leaf litter nutrient content (N, P, K, Ca and Mg) were studied along with leaf fall pattern to understand the nutrient conservation in natural and plantation ecosystems of Dalbergia sissoo. It was observed that elevated concent...

Watling, J.I.; Donnelly, M.A., 2002: Seasonal patterns of reproduction and abundance of leaf litter frogs in a Central American rainforest. Patterns of reproductive phenology and temporal variation in species composition and age structure were investigated for a sample of terrestrial leaf litter frogs from a lowland tropical rainforest in north-eastern Costa Rica. Recruitment of most...

Hättenschwiler, S.; Aeschlimann, B.; Coûteaux, M-Madeleine.; Roy, J.; Bonal, D., 2008: High variation in foliage and leaf litter chemistry among 45 tree species of a neotropical rainforest community. Distinct ecosystem level carbon : nitrogen : phosphorus (C : N : P) stoichiometries in forest foliage have been suggested to reflect ecosystem-scale selection for physiological strategies in plant nutrient use. Here, this hypothesis was explored i...

de Souza, D.R.; Fernandes, T.T.; Nascimento, J.é R. de Oliveira; Suguituru, S.S.; Morini, M.S.ntina de C., 2012: Characterization of Ant Communities Hymenoptera Formicidae in Twigs in the Leaf Litter of the Atlantic Rainforest and Eucalyptus Trees in the Southeast Region of Brazil. Fragments of Atlantic Rainforest and extensive eucalyptus plantations are part of the landscape in the southeast region of Brazil. Many studies have been conducted on litter ant diversity in these forests, but there are few reports on the nesting...

Whiffin T.; Hyland B.P.M., 1989: The extent and systematic significance of seasonal variation of volatile oil composition in australian rainforest trees. Preparatory to the use of volatile oils in systematic studies of Australian rainforest trees, the extent and systematic significance of seasonal variation in volatile oil composition were studied. Monthly samples were taken from eight trees of Lau...

Daubenmire, R., 1953: Nutrient content of leaf litter of trees in the northern Rocky Mountains. Freshly fallen leaves of the following were analyzed for N, P, K, and Ca: Abies grandis, A. laslocarpa, Larix occidentalis, Picea engelmanni, Pinus albicaulis, P. contorta var. latifolia, P. monticola, P. ponderosa, Populus tremuloides, Pseudotsug...

Thompson, W.A.; Kriedemann, P.E.; Craig, I.E., 1992: Photosynthetic response to light and nutrients in sun tolerance and shade tolerant rainforest trees i. growth leaf anatomy and nutrient content. Seedling trees of Argyrodendron sp., A. trifoliolatum, Flindersia brayleyana, and Toona australis were grown for c. 180 days under one of three light regimes with either of two nutrient levels (6 treatments in all). Light regimes spanned the range...
