Decomposition of Carbon14 labelled ryegrass and maize under tropical conditions
This work is an extension of earlier studies on the rate of decay of plant material in the forest zone of Nigeria. Maize (Zea mays L.) leaves, uniformly labeled with 14C, were allowed to decompose for 2 yr under field conditions in an Alfisol (pH 7.0) or an Ultisol (pH 4.7). After two years, 15% of...
