| Abstract: | Average annual litter fall beneath Avicennia Marina in a tidal creek of Sundarbans mangrove forest was 1603 g.m-2.y-1 (dry wt). In this litter content, leaves contributed 72.2%, twigs 12.1%, flowers 4.1%, fruits 5.3% and miscellaneous 5.9%. Seasonality of litter production was observed with maximum (av. 553 g.m-2) in postmonsoon season and minimum (av. 354 g.m-2) during premonsoon season. Nutrient content in the leaves was generally higher than that of other components of the litter. |
