| Abstract: | The decomposition of litter has been measured in a tropical forest ecosystem using three methods: (1) direct measure of weight loss, (2) estimating a decay coefficient, and (3) integrating the seasonal weight The aim and precision of these methods are discussed in relation to the study of organic matter cycling Ioss curves and the monthly soil litter variations to obtain a curve of decay along the year. The aim and precision of these methods are discussed in relation to the study of organic matter cycling in the forest; and other methods used in tropical forests are reviewed. |
