Abstract
SYNOPSIS A lack of litter breakdown was recorded in Pinus taeda stands on the Tsitsikamma plateau, particularly in humus layers. A total litter mass of 195 t/ha was recorded in these stands. Litter was also significantly more compacted in these stands, and a lack of fungal occurrence was recorded. Accumulation of humus was also observed in Pinus elliottii and Pinus pinaster stands, but total litter loading there did not exceed 82 t/ha, In contrast, decomposition of Pinus radiata litter was adequate. Slash burning after clearfelling is recommended in these pine stands, except for P. radiata.
