TL;DR: This article used a short-term litterbag experiment to quantify the effects of litter quality, placement and mesofaunal exclusion on decomposition in 23 tropical forests in 14 countries, in which two standard substrates (Raphia farinifera and Laurus nobilis ) were decomposed in fine-and coarse-mesh litterbags both above and below ground for approximately 1 year.

Hydraulic redistribution in dwarf Rhizophora mangle trees driven by interstitial soil water salinity gradients: impacts on hydraulic architecture and gas exchange

TL;DR: The substantially lower water transport efficiency and the more conservative water use of dwarf trees may be due to a combination of factors such as high salinity in the surface soil, particularly during dry periods, and substantial reverse sap flow in shallow roots that make upper soil layers with high Salinity a competing sink of water to the transpiring leaves.
