PROJECT DESCRIPTION: As part of other studies in the LEF on animal abundance and diversity in forest floor litter, and in bromeliad and heliconia phytotelmata, estimates of the dry weight of individuals of different animal taxa, mainly invertebrates are obtained since 1994. This allows estimates of biomass to be made.
Another study, of the litter invertebrate fauna in litter from palm and non-palm
canopies in each of the three main forest types in the LEF, was undertaken to
distinguish between the effects of elevation and of litter quality and quantity
on the composition and biomass of the litter invertebrate community.
