   The influence of Connochaetes taurinus carcass decomposition on soil nutrient composition in grasslands

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: EA Kullander --- University of South Africa, South Africa MS Deutschländer --- University of South Africa, South Africa VM Ngole-Jeme --- University of South Africa, South Africa HI Melville --- University of South Africa, South Africa

   Decomposing carcasses leach nutrients into soils, forming dense, nutrient-rich islands. The effect of liquid influx on ecological dynamics from decomposing blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) carcasses on soil nutrient content at various stages of decomposition in a grassland ecosystem was investigated...
