- Title

- Abstract
The article presents information on a study which described the total leaf production, the quantities and composition of the autumn leaf litter fall, and the effects of defoliation by the larvae of Tortrix viridana Lepidoptera in a sessile oak (Quercus petraea) woodland on a siliceous site in Grizedale Forest, North Lancashire, England. It outlines the chemical composition of oak leaf litter collected at the end of autumn leaf litter fall. It also determines the concentrations of nutrients and carbon in newly fallen gymnosperm and angiosperm tree leaf litter.
