In the forest ecosystems, litterfall is an important component of the nutrient cycle that
regulates the accumulation of soil organic matter (SOM), the input and output of the …

Groundwater occurrence in semi-arid regions is variable in space and time due to climate
patterns, terrain features, and aquifer properties. Thus, accurate delineation of Groundwater …

Background D-amino acids are far less abundant in nature than L-amino acids. Both L-and
D-amino acids enter soil from different sources including plant, animal and microbial …

Purpose In forests, soil organic carbon (SOC) formation largely originates from above-and
below-ground plant inputs with different substrate qualities. However, to what extent litter …

Los bosques templados de México representan la distribución más sur de este ecosistema
en el hemisferio norte y constituyen alrededor de 20% de la cobertura forestal de México, lo …

Mass loss and nutrient release during litter decomposition drive biogeochemical cycling in
terrestrial ecosystems. However, the relationship between the litter decomposition process …

While semiarid forests frequently colonize rocky substrates, knowledge is scarce on how
roots garner resources in these extreme habitats. The Sierra San Miguelito Volcanic …

Context The amount and chemistry of litterfall have been known to strongly vary among the
years with important implications for ecosystem nutrient cycles, but there are few quantitative …

Understanding carbon sequestration from tree planting and management activities is
important for contributing to the mitigation of climate change. Although rates of growth and …

Changes in species composition and abundance driven by land use change may alter
canopy and litter characteristics of forests, and thereby modify rainfall redistribution and …
