Antonio Jordán University of Seville, Spain Description Wet forest soil surface after a rainfall simulation experiment in Los Alcornocales Natural Park, southern Spain. When pores are saturated with water, rainfall does not infiltrate, but a dense litter layer may inhibit runoff for some time.

Monday paper: Variability of above-ground litter inputs alters soil physicochemical and biological processes: a meta-analysis of litterfall-manipulation experiments
Xu, S., Liu, L. L., Sayer, E. J. 2013. Variability of above-ground litter inputs alters soil physicochemical and biological processes: a meta-analysis of litterfall-manipulation experiments. Biogeosciences 10, 7423-7433. DOI: 10.5194/bg-10-7423-2013 Abstract Global change has been shown to alter the amount of above-ground litter inputs to soil greatly, which could cause substantial cascading effec ...[Read More]
Monday paper: Effects of belowground litter addition, increased precipitation and clipping on soil carbon and nitrogen mineralization in a temperate steppe
Ma, L., Guo, C., Xin, X., Yuan, S., Wang, R. 2013. Effects of belowground litter addition, increased precipitation and clipping on soil carbon and nitrogen mineralization in a temperate steppe. Biogeosciences 10, 7361-7372. DOI: 10.5194/bg-10-7361-2013 Abstract Soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling are sensitive to changes in environmental factors and play critical roles in the responses of ter ...[Read More]
