Application. Fertilizer application is an option for increasing productivity of regrowth eucalypt forests. Where fertilizers are used the quantity and nutrient content of litterfall and accumulating forest floor litter are likely to increase. Thus, disturbance of the litter layer as occurs during bu

## Abstract This study of litter decomposition was part of an extensive project examining the partitioning of rainfall, the associated chemistry, and litterfall in a dry sclerophyll eucalypt forest and a __Pinus radiata__ plantation in southeastern Australia. The eucalypt species studied were __Euc
This paper concerns recycling of the major nutrients (N, P, Ca, Mg, Na and K) by litterfall, throughfall and stemΒ―ow in a dry sclerophyll eucalypt forest and a nearby Pinus radiata plantation of similar tree density and basal area. With the exception of Mg, the concentration of these nutrients in eu
## Abstract A litter bag experiment was performed in a healthy and a dieβback reed stand of Lake FertΕ/ Neusiedler See. Mass loss, hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin, C, N, S and P concentrations of __Phragmites australis__ leaves and culms were determined. Leaves decomposed faster than culms at both
