Hakalau Forest NWR litter decomposition data
Description
This data release includes data and metadata on litter decomposition rates for Acacia koa (koa) and Metrosideros polymorpha (‘ōhi‘a) leaves in in different microhabitats. All sites were within Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge on Hawaii Island. Broadly, this study looked at the ability to alter soil nitrogen cycling, exotic grass biomass and native outplant survival with large quantities of Metrosideros polymorpha litter in a forest dominated by Acacia koa.
