Abstract	To compare litter decomposition and nitrogen (N) dynamics in 16-year-old black locust and pine-hardwood forest stands, weight loss, N concentration, and litter quality of the dominant species in each stand were monitored for 863 days, using litterbags. The species studied were Robiniapseudo-acacia L. (leaflets and rachises), Liriodendrontulipifera L., and Rubus spp. (leaves and stems) in the black locust stand and Kalmialatifolia L., Pinusrigida Mill., and L. tulipifera in the pine-hardwood stand. Between-stand comparison of L. tulipifera leaf litter indicated a significant stand effect on weight loss during the first 8 months but no significant stand effects on N concentration and net immobilization. Initial lignin content was highly correlated to percent weight remaining and net N immobilization after 331 and 863 days. All litter types exhibited an absolute increase in "lignin" that appeared to originate from the more soluble litter fraction. Robiniapseudo-acacia leaflets, P. rigida, K. latifolia, and R...
