The paper describes the results of a study carried out on the litter decomposition of Shorea robusta and Eucalyptus camaldulensis plantation of forest estate. The study revealed that under the present microclimatic conditions the litter decomposition was faster under Eucalyptus prohably on account of high initial leachability of the potassium. The rate of decomposition under sal have shown a steady pattern of weight loss.
