Litter descomposition in native and cultural forest in the Eatern Chaco
Litter fall and decomposition were simultaneously studied in a mixed natural forest in an adjacent stands of Grevlllea robusta (22 years oíd), near Makalló City (20*07'S; 59*21’W) where annual rainfall mean is 1100 mm with a humid period at the end of summer and a dry period in winter time. Sim...

Simultaneously, a strong seasonality in the litter fall could be recorded by biweekly sampling operations. The annual fine litter fall was estimated in 6.96 tn/ha/yr in a native forest.
