Annual Tree-Litter Production by Successional Forest Stands, Juneau, Alaska
Hurd RM. 1971. Annual Tree-Litter Production by Successional Forest Stands, Juneau, Alaska. Ecology. 52(5):881-884
Litter production in four stands (pioneer Alnus-Salix to old-growth Tsuga heterophylla/Picea sitchensis) for 3 years averaged 2,850 kg/ha. Production varied among stands and years, but no real differences were apparent. Nonwoody litter was about 64% of total litter and, although less variable, there were no consistent differences for stands nor years.
