Leaf-litter breakdown in 3 streams in temperate, Mediterranean, and tropical Cerrado climates (2006, background): “…in temperate deciduous forests (e.g., reviews by Abelho 2001, Graça 2001), but the few studies in tropical streams have shown that litter breakdown also can be affected by land use (Mathuriau and Chauvet 2002, Chara 2003) and nutrient availability (Pearson and Connolly 2000, Rosemond et al. 2002).”
High-quality algae attached to leaf litter boost invertebrate shredder growth (2016, background): “Pearson and Connolly (2000) suggested that Anisocentropus sp. could assimilate more lipids from available leaf material when nutrients were supplemented.”
