Litter production and litter nutrient concentrations in a fragmented Amazonian landscape

We analyzed the effects of distance to forest edge and soil texture on finelitter production and on nutrient concentrations in the leaf fall in an experimentally fragmented landscape in Brazilian Amazonia. Production of fine litter (leaves, twigs
