Abstract

The N dynamics in four decomposing broadleaf litter species of a mixed broadleaf forest in Central Himalaya was followed for a period of 578 days. The C:N ratio above which net immobilization and below which net mineralization took place, differed among species. Once the nitrogen release phase started, the release was in proportion to the weight loss.
