Abstract/Summary
Decomposition rates of Avicennia officinalis leaves in litter bags placed in forest, supratidal and subtidal zones in two sites of the Pagbilao Mangrove Forest Reserve, Quezon Province, were determined over five months, from March to August, 1983. Relative exposure to tidal action was directly related (PTotal levels of C, N, P, Ca, Mg, NA and K all showed decreasing trends with time while percentage of C and N per gram per unit time significantly (PNutrient analysis of the leaves of the forest litter bags showed overall decreases in carbohydrates, fats, crude fiber and protein.
