WF24053Seasonal litter decomposition and accumulation in north Australian savanna
Savanna fire models rely on seasonal measures of available fine fuels. This study investigates monthly rates of fine fuel decomposition and accumulation in typical eucalypts-dominated savanna woodland in north Australia over an annual cycle. Whereas decomposition is shown to occur most rapidly in the wet season, accumulated fine fuels were greater late in the dry season.
