litter

the offence committed where a person throws down, drops or otherwise deposits any litter in any place to which this law applies and leaves it.

It is immaterial whether the litter is deposited on land or in water. Litter expressly includes the discarded ends of cigarettes, cigars and like products, and discarded chewing-gum and the discarded remains of other products designed for chewing.

MATERIALS AND METHODS--We collected samples of leaf litter on 1 November 2002, and on 3 February, 30 April, and 5 July 2003, at two sites in Calcasieu Parish in southwestern Louisiana: Sam Houston Jones State Park (30[degrees]18'N, 93[degrees]16'W, 7 m elevation) and Tuten Park (30[degrees]11'N, 93[degrees]15'W, 5 m elevation).
