Litterfall dynamics along a successional gradient in a Brazilian tropical dry forest

Abstract Background This study aimed to determine the influence of soil traits, vegetation structure and climate on litterfall dynamics along a successional gradient in a tropical dry forest (TDF) in southeastern Brazil. We used a chronosequence design consisting of three successional stages (early,...
