Litter-fall and nutrient returrn in Gmelina arborea short rotation woodlot: Implications for site productivity

The amount of litter produced and nutrients returned to the forest floor in Gmelina arborea (Roxb) short rotation woodlot were monitored for 12 months. The trials were planted with 400-25 trees within treatment plots, each measured 12m x 12m or 27,777 – 1,736 trees/ha and harvesting was done after the litter-fall monitoring. The results showed that litter-fall and the subsequent amount of nutrients returned to the forest floor, increased with increasing planting density. The differences in both cases were significant (
