	abstract = {This describes a litterbasket technique for quantifying decomposition and changes in litter and forest floor nutrient pools over time. Litterbaskets are constructed of wire cloth, 10x10x10 cm. Intact cores, removed from forest floors,  are separated into individual strata (litter layer, F-layer, soil) with plastic window screen. The core is reassembled in the litterbasket, which is replaced in the hole from which the core was removed. Pre-weighed aliquots of experimental substrates can replace the litter layer.  The advantages of the litterbasket method include: (1) improved microclimatic exposure relative to litter enclosed in litterbags; (2) opportunity to input exogenous radioactive or stable isotopetracers; (3) quantification of changes in nutrient contents in the various layers of the forest floor over time; (4) easy extraction of invertebrates and quantification of microbial populations from individual horizons; (5) the ability to quantify the movement of radioactive or stable tracers from litter through the forest floor profile over time.},
