Brief 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.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.
