The soil is continually moist and covered with a thick layer of leaves and decayinghumus.From theCambridge English Corpus
These results indicate thathumusdepth has a larger effect in determining local spatial distribution of tree species in heath forests than relative elevation.From theCambridge English Corpus
Nutrient release from litter andhumusin coniferous forest soils - a mini review.From theCambridge English Corpus
The degree of influence on the spatial distribution of species, however, appears to be different betweenhumusdepth and relative elevation.From theCambridge English Corpus
The results on bryophyte cover and thickness ofhumus-bryophyte layer supported the expectations.From theCambridge English Corpus
Pitch a bit ofhumusto produce this?From theCambridge English Corpus
Spatial associations with soil nutrients were weak for necromass thickness, but clear forhumus.From theCambridge English Corpus
Drainage disturbances were deeper most likely because the thicker layer ofhumusand loose soil at these sites made digging easier.From theCambridge English Corpus
The carbon input to the soil has a decisive influence onhumuslevel, biological activities and soil structure, thus considerably controlling the biomass yield.From theCambridge English Corpus
Differences in moisture stress are thought to have a minor role in the distribution ofhumusin the plot.From theCambridge English Corpus
The accumulation of epiphytic dead organic matter (humusand semi-humus) is influenced by opposing processes.From theCambridge English Corpus
Bryophytes, together with low decomposition rates, are the best candidates to cause the highhumusaccumulation in montane forests.From theCambridge English Corpus
Bryophytes andhumustogether usually formed a rather distinct layer on the branches.From theCambridge English Corpus
The three binary variables (permanent water,humusdepth, fallen canopy tree) were inherently non-normally distributed.From theCambridge English Corpus
Generally, thick and more or less horizontal branches in the centre of the crowns had the highest epiphyte cover and the thickesthumus-bryophyte layer.From theCambridge English Corpus
