    Factors influencing limit values for pine needle litter decomposition: a synthesis for boreal and temperate pine forest systems

    We synthesized available data for decomposition of pine (Pinus) needle litter in pine forests to determine the litter chemical characteristics and climate factors that explained variation in the limit value, i.e....

    Litter decomposition rate is dependent on litter Mn concentrations

    A statistically significant linear relationship was found between annual mass loss of foliar litter in the late stages of decomposition and Mn concentration in the litter. We used existing decomposition data o...

    Element Fluxes with Litterfall in Mature Stands of Norway Spruce and European Beech in Bavaria, South Germany

    Litterfall is the largest natural inflow of organic material and nutrients to the forest floor and in most European forests is dominated by that from the trees. The chemical composition of this material and th...

    Sequestration Rates for C and N in Soil Organic Matter at Four N-Polluted Temperate Forest Stands

    The quantification of terrestrial sources and sinks for carbon dioxide and nitrogen-based greenhouse gases is one of the most important tasks facing environmental scientists today. Central to this is the deter...

    Litter mass loss rates in pine forests of Europe and Eastern United States: some relationships with climate and litter quality

    The purpose of this study was to relate regional variation in litter mass-loss rates (first year) in pine forests to climate across a large, continental-scale area. The variation in mass-loss rate was analyzed...

    Nitrogen release from litter in relation to the disappearance of lignin

    Nitrogen dynamics were followed in several decomposing forest foliage litters in two contrasting ecosystem types. Litter types showing a significant net accumulation before a net release started were subjected...
