Leaf-cutting ants are responsible for carrying out an important ecological process in neotropical ecosystems: the cycling of elements. However, although several studies have demonstrated the accumulation of organic matter inside colonies, little is known about the dynamics of nutrients and its residence time in nest refuse compared to the leaf material harvested by ants. This study compares the nutrient...
The decomposition of organic soil amendments is a dynamic process that is not fully understood at present. Carbon mineralization by soil microorganisms has been modeled to derive useful theoretical parameters regarding the decomposition process. This paper compares a new model describing carbon mineralization from amended soil to three others commonly used in the literature. Carbon dioxide evolution...
