Cymbopogon citratus, commonly known as West Indian lemon grass or simply lemon grass, [3] is a tropical plant native to South Asia and Maritime Southeast Asia and introduced to many tropical regions. [4] Cymbopogon citratus is often sold in stem form. While it can be grown in warmer temperate regions, such as the UK, it is not hardy to frost.
The slow rate of decomposition gradually releases plant nutrients bound up in the leaves back into the environment to be re-used by plants. Autumn leaves are often collected in gardens and farms into pits or containers for the resultant leaf mold to be used later. Oxygen and moisture are essential for leaf decomposition.
Cymbopogon flexuosus, also called Cochin grass, East-Indian lemon grass or Malabar grass, is a perennial grass native to India, Sri Lanka, Burma, and Thailand. It is placed in the genus Cymbopogon (lemongrasses). Its essential oil is produced by steam distillation of the freshly cut leaves, [1] or it can be extracted using alcohol.
Cymbopogon, also known as lemongrass, barbed wire grass, silky heads, oily heads, Cochin grass, Malabar grass, citronella grass or fever grass, is a genus of Asian, African, Australian, and tropical island plants in the grass family.
The rate of decomposition is governed by three sets of factors: the physical environment (temperature, moisture and soil properties), the quantity and quality of the dead material available to decomposers, and the nature of the microbial community itself. [64] Decomposition rates are low under very wet or very dry conditions.

where A is the area of a given leaf or all leaves of a plant, and M L is the dry mass of those leaves. Typical units are m 2 /kg or mm 2 /mg. Leaf mass per area (LMA) is its inverse and can mathematically be decomposed in two component variables, leaf thickness (LTh) and leaf density (LD): [4] = =.
