Leaf Litterfall and Decomposition of Polylepis reticulata in the Treeline of the Ecuadorian Andes
Leaf litterfall contributes significantly to carbon fluxes in forests. A crucial open question for the sustainability of mountain forests is how climate change will affect this and other carbon fluxes (eg photosynthesis and respiration). Leaf litterfall and decomposition of Polylepis reticulata, an...
