Variation in leaf litter silicon concentration along soil fertility and climate gradients in tropical montane forests in western Panama
R Nakamura, E Garcia, JW Dalling - Plant and Soil, 2024 - Springer
Background and aims Leaf silicon (Si) accumulation may mitigate diverse biotic and abiotic
stresses, including nutrient deficiencies. In tropical montane forests, we therefore predicted …

Soil silicon dynamics following long-term litter and nutrient manipulations in a lowland tropical forest
Silicon (Si) has an important role in forest ecology, but controls on Si availability in tropical
forests remain poorly understood. For example, it remains unclear to what extent recycling …

Litterfall silicon flux in relation to vegetation differences in old‐growth and logged lowland forests in Borneo
Lowland tropical forests cycle large quantities of silicon (Si) via litterfall, but little is known
how litterfall Si flux is modified in logged forests. In Sabah, Borneo, we compared an old …
