Popis:	The leaf litter decomposition of four indigenous tree species, such as Castanopsis sieboldii, Schima wallichii, Elaeocarpus japonicus, and Daphniphyllum teijsmannii, was monthly monitored using the litterbag technique over a 12-month period in a subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest of Okinawa Island, Japan. The decomposition rate constant (k) was 1.19 ± 0.19 for D. teijsmannii, 1.09 ± 0.07 for C. sieboldii, 0.94 ± 0.05 for E. japonicus, and 0.66 ± 0.05 (S.E.) yr−1 for S. wallichii. The decomposition rate constant was significantly lower in S. wallichii than the other three species (P
