Abstract
To investigate the dynamics of nutrient transfer in fine litter, we assessed the forest floor standing mass, input rates, and turnover rates of litter derived from terrestrially tooted material in a neotropical cloud forest in Monteverde, Costa Rica and compared them to litter dynamics in other tropical cloud forests. The mean standing crop of fine litter was 10.1 t ha #751 , and showed no striking seasonal differences but apparent annual differences. Input of fine litter was 7.0 t ha #751 y #751 and showed a strong seasonal pattern, with greatest amounts of fine litter falling during the dry season (...)
