The Soil litter article starts out with a sentence defining the concept, and half the sentence is a wikilinked phrase that goes to this article. This article says litterfall is also called leaf litter or soil litter. Reading both articles, it is clear there is almost total overlap. I am not a biologist, but the only difference I can see is that the litterfall article is about a process, and in explaining that process makes much mention of the soil layer where an important part of the process occurs, and the soil litter article is about said soil layer, and makes mention of the process. The two concepts are so inter-related it would surely better serve the reader to have one article.--Brambleshire (talk) 15:35, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Litterfall → Plant litter – Request made 29 April 2012 by user:Brambleshire using template:movenotice. Reason given by Brambleshire: "better article name would be plant litter ... because it would encompass needles, bark, etc." -- PBS (talk) 21:25, 7 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
As suggested above, a better article name would be plant litter. See also the talk page for the duplicate artice I just merged into this one, where there is a comment to the effect that leaf litter may be the most commonly used term. I prefer plant litter over leaf litter because it would encompass needles, bark, etc.--Brambleshire (talk) 03:10, 29 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
