Quantifying leaf litter production, decomposition, and nutrient release in cacao plantations in southwest Nigeria
Nutrient cycled from litterfall plays an important role in sustaining the fertility status in cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) plantations. However, the role of macrofauna in regulating the rate of decomposition and nutrient release remains uncertain despite its importance in litter decomposition and nutr...
