“…Net root nutrient release was calculated by multiplying the net change in N or P content of roots after 1 and 2 years of decomposition in decomposition bags by the annual root production determined from ingrowth bags. This calculation has three major assumptions: (i) on an annual basis, root production equals root mortality so that fine root biomass is in steady state; (ii) live root litter chemistry is similar to root litter chemistry at senescence (Nambiar & Fife 1991); and (iii) large interannual variations in litterfall and root production are likely to have a larger impact on these calculations than interannual variation in tissue chemistry (see Schuster et al . 2005).…”

“…may play equally important roles. In semiarid woodlands for instance, Schuster et al (2005) reported an overall >20% decline in litter production under limited soil water and soil nutrient conditions and under the effects of insect herbivores. Liu et al (2004) presented a global analysis of litterfall controlling factors in coniferous and broadleaf forests in Eurasia and they concluded that annual mean temperature plays a more important role in litterfall patterns than precipitation.…”

“…We then ran an anova in jmp 7.0 (SAS Institute, Inc. 2007) on the total data set, with the predictions that inter‐note intervals would be greater for females than for males, and that those intervals would change throughout the course of the duet. We conducted a repeated measures anova (Schuster et al. 2004; Leader et al.…”
