We hypothesized that a decline in oak litter mass associated with a lower oak component will result in an increase in nutrient cycling rates in the litterlayer. To test this hypothesis, we compared mass loss and C, N, P, and Ca dynamics in pure oak litter and in litter made of 48% oak plus 52% five other deciduous species in a central hardwood forest in West Virginia. In 12 months of litter decomposition, pure oak litter decomposed more slowly,retained more C and N, immobilized more and subsequently did not release P, and released less Ca than litter consisting of 48% oak plus five other species. Annual stand-level nutrient fluxes in pure oak and in 48% oak plus five other species litter were correspondingly +4.1 and −4.4kg ha−1 N, +0.22 and −0.17 kg ha−1 P, and −9.3 and −16.7 kg ha−1 Ca. These results indicate that a decline in oak will cause more rapid nutrient cycling in the litter layer of affected central hardwood stands.</jats:p>"}]}],"creator":[{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1383670319796740608","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Kathryn B.
