Litterfall production, decomposition and nutrient use efficiency varies with tropical forest types in Xishuangbanna, SW China: a 10-year study

Litterfall production, decomposition and nutrient use efficiency in three different tropical forest ecosystems in SW China were studied for 10 years. Annual mean litterfall production in tropical seasonal forest (TSF) (9.47 ± 1.65 Mg ha⁻¹) was similar to that in man-made tropical forest (MTF) (9.23 ...

Zusammenfassung:	Litterfall production, decomposition and nutrient use efficiency in three different tropical forest ecosystems in SW China were studied for 10 years. Annual mean litterfall production in tropical seasonal forest (TSF) (9.47 ± 1.65 Mg ha⁻¹) was similar to that in man-made tropical forest (MTF) (9.23 ± 1.29 Mg ha⁻¹) (P > 0.05) but both were significantly lower than that in secondary tropical forest (STF) (12.96 ± 1.71 Mg ha⁻¹) (P
