Foliar litter nitrogen dynamics as affected by forest gap in the alpine forest of eastern Tibet Plateau.

There is increasing attention on the effects of seasonal snowpack on wintertime litter decomposition, as well as the processes following it, in cold biomes. However, little information is available on how litter nitrogen (N) dynamics vary with snowpack variations created by tree crown canopies in al...
