The litter arthropod community in a Southern Appalachian hardwood forest: numbers, biomass and mineral element content. Gist, undefined & Crossley, D. A. 1975.
abstract   bibtex   
The biomass, numbers of individuals and mineral content of the arthropod fauna in the litter of a mixed hardwood forest were examined. The biomass values of the litter arthropods were generally higher than in other forests. Possible reasons for higher biomass values are discussed. Potassium and calcium standing crops are compared to those of a Liriodendron forest in Tennessee. With few exceptions the potassium values are comparable. However, there appear to be great differences in the calcium values.
