## Abstract Decomposition is a key function in reclaimed wetlands, and changes in its rate have ramifications for organicβmatter accumulation, nutrient cycling, and production. The purpose of this study was to compare leaf litter decomposition rates in coalβslurry ponds vs. natural wetlands on natu

Studies on community metabolism in newly constructed ponds on a swampy area were made over a period of twenty-four months from November, 1981 to October, 1983. The fluctuations in the gross and net primary productions, photosynthetic efficiency and assimilation efficiency are discussed. The producti
Direct observations on living animals, examination of gut contents, spatio-temporal distribution analysis, demographic data and a two year comparative study of zooplankton population dynamics illustrate the importance of invertebrate predation on the seasonal succession of the zooplankton in Lake Ay
## Abstract This study evaluated if there are differences in leaf breakdown and invertebrate colonization among tree species differing in quality (toughness), and which factors could influence these differences. Common alder leaves decomposed significantly faster then either sweet chestnut or Spani
