[...] cette même chute de litière pourrait contribuer de façon non négligeable à la reconstruction de l'humus [...] Cette litière améliorerait ainsi le statut nutritif de la couche supérieure du sol et permettrait d'augmenter le niveau de croissance de la régénération 3, record 2, French, - chute%20de%20liti%C3%A8re
