Seasonal and interannual litter dynamics of a tropical semideciduous forest of the southern Amazon Basin, Brazil

This study analyzed how seasonal and interannual variations in climate alter litter dynamics, including production, decomposition, and accumulation. Monthly measurements of leaf, stem, and reproductive (flower plus fruit) litter and the forest floor litter mass were combined with a mass balance mode...
