Statement
Sampling method: Five, 0.1-0.25&nbsp;m<sup>2</sup> litter traps were deployed across 2 x 2&nbsp;ha areas of dry sclerophyll forest at the Samford Ecological Research Station, near Samford, Queensland. Litter was collected at roughly monthly intervals and dried at 65°C for 72 hours. Samples were then weighed, ground and analyzed for total carbon and total nitrogen content.
