Description

The record contains information on litterfall data collected from the dry sclerophyll forest, Samford Peri-Urban Site, South East Queensland from between 2011-2013. Data on plant litter weight, leaf carbon and nitrogen content are provided.

We at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

Purpose
The data collected formed part of a larger study examining the carbon and nitrogen dynamics of the peri-urban forest system.

Lineage
Sampling method: Five, 0.1-0.25 m2 litter traps were deployed across 2 x 2 ha areas of dry sclerophyll forest at the Samford Ecological Research Station, near Samford, Queensland. Litter was collected at roughly monthly intervals and dried at 65°C for 72 hours. Samples were then weighed, ground and analyzed for total carbon and total nitrogen content.
