Bruijnzeel L.A., . Elemental content of litterfall in a Lower Montane Rain Forest in Central Java Indonesia. pp. 199-208. ISSN 0025-1291
Abstract
Litterfall was estimated for eight months. Litter was divided into three categories: leaves branches/twigs and seeds/fruit/flowers. Material was analyzed for Ca Mg K P N Na Si Al Fe Mn and Cu. During the study period 500g/m2 of litter reached the forest floor (77 leaves) corresponding to c. 738 g/m2/yr. Production figures for this and another Javan rain forest appears to be on the low side of the range published for tropical forests. Leaf litter contains relatively large amounts of Ca Mg K Si Fe and Al whereas concentrations of P and Mn are low in comparison to findings elsewhere in the tropics. Annual accession of chemical elements to the forest floor via litterfall is similar to that of other humid tropical forests
