“…There are many factors that influence the number of litter reserves in plant communities, including the community type, the season, the plant density, the community age, the species composition, the topography, etc., but the primary factor is the type of plant communities [43][44][45]. Bai et al's [46] study of the litter reserves in the coniferous and broadleaved forests showed that the litter reserves were closely related to the plant community type. This study showed that there was no significant difference in the total litter reserves(M) of the three typical plant communities in the area of Karst peak-cluster depressions.…”

“…needle‐ vs. broad‐leaf, deciduous vs. evergreen; Guevara‐Escobar et al., 2007; Li et al., 2013; Liu et al., 2017; Putuhena & Cordery, 1996; Sato et al., 2004), or compared litter of a few species for their effects on hydrological properties (Jourgholami et al., 2022; Zagyvai‐Kiss et al., 2019), our multi‐species experiment is the first to show comprehensively how certain key leaf traits are important drivers of surface litter storage and drainage properties and of runoff and soil loss processes. These findings contribute to our understanding of the spatial variation in rainfall interception and redirection by litter, both at fine spatial scale (within a vegetation, Ilek et al., 2015; Park et al., 2010; Rosalem et al., 2019; Zhu et al., 2020) and large spatial scale (within an ecosystem; Bai et al., 2021; Du et al., 2019). In this way, our study opens new perspectives to a better understanding of the mechanisms behind the crucial role of interspecific variation in traits in soil water fluxes and soil conservation.…”

“…Both herb and litter biomass samples were oven-dried to a constant weight and weighed in the laboratory. We also measured the effective water-holding capacity (EHC) and maximum water absorption rate (MWAR) of the litter using the indoor immersion method [48]. The root biomass was collected from soil depth of 0-100 cm and every 20 intervals within the 1 m × 1 m quadrats.…”
