    Topics: Biology
    Notes: The litter mass loss, concentration and mass of some major nutrient elements, degradation of lignin and cellulose in decomposing Quercus serrata Murray leaf litter were monitored for 3 years using the litterbag method. The mobility of elements during the course of the study was in the order of: K 〉 P 〉 C 〉 Mg 〉 Ca 〉 N. Three patterns of nutrient dynamics were observed: (i) concentration increased while mass decreased (N, Mg and Ca); (ii) concentration and nutrient mass decreased (K and C); and (iii) both concentration and mass had fluctuated (P). The C to element ratio tended to increase as the element was released, and decreased as the element was retained. Nitrogen mobility in relation to carbon was characterized by three phases: (i) initial release; (ii) accumulation and (iii) final release. The decay rate (k) calculated from 0–6 months period was overestimated for an average annual rate while those of 0–36 months fit the negative single exponential model (Adj. r2 = 0.99) better than shorter periods. For lignin, the concentration had increased then decreased but tended to stabilize after 1 year while the lignin mass had continuously decreased throughout the study period. During the first 9 months, both the concentrations and mass of cellulose had fluctuated but declined thereafter. The amounts of N had initially increased but declined after 1 year; P had fluctuated while K, Ca, Mg and C had decreased throughout the study. N and C/N ratio exerted strong influence on mass loss during the first24 months but the influence of lignin emerged after 24 months.

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Rates of decomposition, and soil faunal abundance and diversity associated with single-species and mixed-species litters were studied in a litter bag experiment in an oak–pine forest. We used two canopy species of leaf litter, pine and oak, and one shrub species, Sasa, and compared decomposition rates, and soil microarthropod abundance and community structure of oribatid mites in the litter bags. Mass loss of single species decreased in the order: oak 〉 pine 〉 Sasa. While the total mass loss rates of mixed litter were intermediate between those of the constituent species, enhancement of mass loss from the three-species mixture and from mixed slow-decomposing litters (pine and Sasa) was observed. Faunal abundance in litter bags was higher in mixed-species litter than in those with single-species litter, and species richness of oribatid mites was also higher in the three-species mixed litter. Faunal abundance in single-species litter bags was not correlated with mass loss, although enhancement of mass loss in mixed litter bags corresponded with higher microarthropod abundance. Habitat heterogeneity in mixed litter bags seemed to be responsible for the more abundant soil microarthropod community.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Effects of high density adult millipede populations on soil ecosystem properties were investigated using laboratory and field microcosm methods in a deciduous broad-leaved forest in western Japan. The density of Parafontaria tonominea adults was 25.6–72.0 individuals m−2 on 15 September 1996, then the density declined to 0–5.4 m−2 on 22 October 1996. Addition of millipedes to the laboratory microcosm enhanced soil respiration and decreased soil microbial biomass. Soil microcosms with and without millipedes (one and two pairs of adults) were set on a forest floor, and soil respiration, dissolved ion concentration in leacheate water were observed for 8 weeks. The millipedes ingested both leaf litter and soil, which increased soil respiration, leaching of Ca2+, Mg2+, and nitrate from the soil, whereas the soil microbial biomass was not changed at 8 weeks after introduction of the animals. Millipede feeding on soil enhanced microbial activity and nutrient leaching from the forest soil.

    Notes: Abstract The decay rates of Japanese Konara Oak (Quercus serrata Murray) and Japanese Red Pine (Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc.) leaf litter were monitored for one year. It aimed to compare the decomposition of leaf litter using microcosms set up in the field (FM) and in the greenhouse (GM), with the litterbag (LB) method as control. Results showed that incubation setting affected the decay rate (k), respiration rates and the changes in the concentrations of nitrogen (N). Thek value ofQuercus in FM was higher than LB, while thek value ofPinus was higher in the LB than in FM. The decay ratesk for both species, however, were significantly lower in GM than FM and LB, clearly suggesting that decay rate was inhibited in the greenhouse. Significant differences in microclimatic variables and soil biological activities (soil respiration) existed between greenhouse and field microcosms, hence, the decay rates were affected. The N concentrations for both litter types increased as decomposition proceeded. Decomposition studies using laboratory microcosm approach alone may lead to erroneous conclusions especially if no appropriate field studies are conducted along with it.
