Abstract

The article presents a study which examines the effects of distance to forest edge and soil texture on fine-litter production and on nutrient concentrations in the leaf fall in a fragmented landscape in Brazilian Amazonia. A significant effect of distance to forest edge on litter production was observed, but no significant effect on soil texture. It notes the possible cascading effects of increased rates of litterfall on the ecology of fragmented forests.
