Concentrations lower than those present in the litter leaves&lt;br/&gt;were toxic to these insects. Detoxification by washing with rainwater&lt;br/&gt;and biodegradation of tannic compounds are necessary for litter&lt;br/&gt;decomposition, in which microarthropods participated, to occur.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Citation</style></notes><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Citation</style></research-notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Determination of amino acids from the leaves of evergreen oak (Quercus ilex L.) at four different stages of decomposition</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biology and fertility of soils</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1987</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">158-163</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">It was established by weak ion exchange resin chromatography that 17 amino acids in proteins and 15 free amino acids account for almost all of the amino acids present in the leaves of evergreen oak (Quercus ilex L.) in four different stages of decompo- sition. No significant change in the amounts of these amino acids was observed in the course of decomposi- tion. The amino acid content of evergreen oak leaves is comparable to that in pine needles and beech leaves.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
