A rainfall event-based study allowed the examination of factors affecting the amounts and chemical concentrations of throughfall. The amount and frequency of antecedent rainfall was of influence in both forests, in that concentrations were higher with dry antecedent conditions. The debarking season

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
