Rainfall patterns and the contribution of litter in the caatinga dry tropical forest1

Rainfall patterns and the contribution of litter in the caatinga dry tropical forest1

The present study was designed to investigate the dynamics of rainfall patterns on the production and rate of decomposition of litter in the caatinga biome. To this end, a data series which had been recorded over 30 years (1981-2010) was used; the indicators taken into consideration being the irregu...
