We therefore compared the effects of mechanically fragmented (ground) leaf litter against soil fauna-mediated litter (faeces) on the growth of higher plants assuming the latter to be a indirect measure of the nutrients released from the leaf litter. aArroz aBactris Gasipaes aCrescimento aFauna Edáfica aFertilidade do Solo aKudzu aMicrobiologia do Solo aPlanta aPueraria Phaseoloides aPupunha1 aMUROYA, K.1 aGARCIA, M. tPedobiologiagv. 50, p. 281-290, 2006.
