Summary:
Surface soil samples were collected around silverswords on Haleakala. Several physical and chemical properties were investigated. Litter addition below silverswords increases the C and N content, C/N ratios, and nutrient levels of the soil thus provides a nutrient-rich, water-retaining substrate more suitable for seedling establishment.
