| Abstract: With a data set of Eurasian forest litter fall based on 471 stands, annual litterfall was estimated tobe 6.53 Pg dm.a-1 (1 Pg = 10 hoch15 g; dm, dry matter) in Eurasian forests, of which more than half occured in tropical and subtropical forests, and a third in the boreal area. With litterfall, around 2.94 Pg C per year is transferred from the forest vegetation to the soil on this continent. Keywords: carbon flux, Eurasian forests, litterfall |
