Sentence examples for input of litter from inspiring English sources

The higher percent of soil organic carbon in Quercus leucotrichophora forest may be due to dense canopy and higher input of litter which results in maximum storage of carbon stock.

This can be attributed to higher rates of inputs of litter in the surface compared to roots in the sub-surface.

Invertebrate richness was higher in patches under closed canopies than under more open canopies, presumably due to the higher input of leaf litter and/or lower evaporation.

Soil acidity is higher in the no-flood zones, which could be attributed to the acidifying input of the litter, which is more abundant and better formed (LFH layers) in the no-flood forest zones.

Finally we give a rough estimate of the input of plastic litter via the River Danube into the Black Sea.

The input of plastic litter in the Black Sea via the Danube is estimated to average about 7.5 g per 1000 m s−1 at mean flow (6444 m s−1).

A handful of studies reported that the dominant vegetation could influence soil properties [16], [17] and these species-specific effects may be caused by inter-specific differences in uptake and storage of nutrients in above-ground biomass, input of nutrients from litter, litter characteristics, microbial association or organic acid exudation [15].

Although the comparatively larger inputs of pine litter resulted in C and N inputs that were 2 3 times those of native litter during some seasons, the influx of low-quality pine litter is likely to decompose slowly and immobilise N, thereby limiting the availability of N for plant growth in the long term.

It was anticipated that C accumulation rates would be greater in tropical than in temperate and boreal peatlands, but that CO2 and CH4 emissions would be high due to the substantial inputs of fresh litter and stable high temperatures.

As outlined by others [2], the high tree diversity homogenizes inputs, decreasing feedbacks of litter quality on soil properties.

The influence of litter input on changes in remnant masses of each carbon during the early humification processes showed that mass loss rate of aromatic C in humified litter is higher in cypress than cedar (Ono et al. 20092011).
