“…Quantity of litter biomass in agroforestry systems are second to forests and higher than the litter biomass accumulated in monoculture systems (Tongkaemkaew et al, 2018;Hairiah et al, 2006;Schroth et al, 2002). Litter biomass is important in soil hydrology, because they catch and retain water from rainfall (Li et al 2018;Zhou et al 2018) then gradually release it to the soil. Moreover, litter biomass also cools soil temperature and reduces soil water evaporation (Xing et al, 2018;Facelli & Pickett, 1991).…”

The study aimed to determine the effect of Arabica coffee- Benguet pine based agroforestry system on soil-litter collembolan diversity. Under this agroforestry system, two coffee production systems were identified in this study, the Agroforestry Coffee System (ACS) and Lone Coffee System (LCS). ACS have coffee plants growing under Benguet pine trees while LCS have coffee plants that are not under any shade trees. Shannon diversity index (H’), Margalef’s richness index (Dmg), Soil temperature (ST), and Soil Moisture Content (SMC) data were gathered and subjected to linear regression with correlation analysis, and student T-test. The result of this study revealed a higher species richness of collembola under ACS (Dmg =3.52±0.47) than LCS (Dmg = 1.75±0.36). Similarly, ACS has higher diversity index (H’ = 1.68±0.66) than LCS (H’ = 0.90±0.49). ACS ST and SMC was 18.60±0.21℃ and 68.34±12.22% while LCS was 21.24±1.31℃ and 55.38±5.52%. ST had significant negative association with diversity and SMC had positive association with diversity. However, only Dmg had significant correlation with SMC. In regression analysis, 18.7% of the total variation in H’ was explained by ST. While for Dmg, 56.6% and 21.7% of its total variations were explained by ST and SMC, respectively. These results showed that ACS can conserve collembolan diversity because it creates a microclimatic condition favorable for the collembolans. This finding could serve as basis for endeavors to promote and develop agroforestry systems.

“…It is important to highlight that litter water-holding capacity reflects the water-holding condition in the laboratory, i.e., in the ideal state and the maximum capacity of water retention [30,48]. The effective water retention was also similar between the unlogged and logged stands, indicating that both stands were able to retain a significant amount of water and that the water retention capacity of litter was not significantly affected by RIL.…”

This study aimed to investigate how sustainable forest management can affect litter hydrological properties. We investigated the net precipitation, litter mass, water-holding capacity, effective water-holding and retention capacity, maximum water retention and water content in unlogged and logged forests over 13 months in the Amazon Forest, where reduced-impact logging is allowed. The mean litter mass was similar for unlogged and logged forests. The litter water-holding capacity was 220% for unlogged and 224% for logged forests, and for fractions followed: unstructured > leaves > seeds > branches for both forests. The effective water-holding capacity was 48.7% and 49.3% for unlogged and logged, respectively, and the effective water retention was 10.3 t·ha−1 for both forests. The effective water retention in the rainy and dry seasons accounted for 12.5 t ha−1 and 7.2 t ha−1 for unlogged and logged, respectively. The maximum water retention was slightly greater for logged forests (16.7 t ha−1) than unlogged (16.3 t ha−1). The litter water content had 40% less water in the dry season than in the rainy in both forests. In general, there were no significant differences in litter storage and hydrological properties between stands. This suggests that reduced-impact logging did not significantly affect the hydrological dynamics of the litter layer in the Amazonian forests studied.
