Impact of a set of environmental variables on the leaf litter breakdown rate in natural streams of the equatorial forest in Cameroon
In this study, we tried to highlight the controlling factors of litter breakdown in African streams using 13 sites in the natural rainforest of South Cameroon. The goals of this study were to highlight the biological and physico-chemical determinants of leaf litter breakdown in streams and to compare those factors to other factors found in temperate and other tropical streams.
