Abstract
Litter fall and throughfall material were measured for one year in a 79-yearold, low altitude, New Zealand Nothofagus solandr; var. solandri forest. Total fall was 5,688 kgjhajannum (26 × 106 kcal/ha/annum) for a lower hill-slope, and 4,970 kg/ha/annum (23 × 103 kcal/ha/annum) for an adjacent upper hillslope. There was a peak winter fall of green leaves.Keywords
