Litterfall production, decomposition and nutrient accumulation in Sundarbans mangrove forests, Bangladesh

Litterfall production and litter decomposition are the principal factors for controlling the functions of mangroves to store and cycle carbon and nutrients within the ecosystem. We analyzed the litterfall production, its seasonality, patterns and changes of mass loss, carbon, and nitrogen content of...
