abstract = {The exports of carbon and nitrogen with water flowing in
the headwater streams could be important components of
material mitigation in forest ecosystems. Plant debris is a
major source of dissolved organic matter for headwater
streams, but few studies have investigated the differences
between the impacts of woody debris and non-woody debris
inputs on headwater streams in terms of carbon and nitrogen
exports. Here, we assessed the effects of plant debris
(i.e., woody debris, non-woody debris and mixed debris) on
the concentrations and exports of dissolved organic carbon
(DOC) and total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) in the headwater
streams of an alpine forest on the eastern Tibetan Plateau.
Woody and non-woody debris only weakly affected the DOC and
TDN concentrations in the headwater streams. Compared with
those in the reference stream excluding plant debris, woody
debris increased the exports of DOC and TDN by $19\%$ and
$13\%,$ whereas non-woody debris decreased the exports of
DOC and TDN by $22\%$ and $25\%,$ respectively. However,
when fall approached, the role of non-woody debris reversed
to enhance the stream-water exports of DOC and TDN. The
effect of non-woody debris during the fall season differed
from that during the overall growing season, indicating that
restricting non-woody debris inputs might improve the
ability of the stream to retain forest carbon and nitrogen.
Notwithstanding the relatively limited experimental period,
this work revealed the critical importance of plant debris
for carbon and nutrients within water conservation regions
like alpine forests.},
