Abstract: The multipurpose tree species is a plant species that is purposefully grown so as to provide two or more than two products and their leaf litter decomposition in our ecosystems has a play major role in nutrient dynamics in the atmosphere. From this review paper examined different leaf litter decomposition assessing methods in which litter bag method is most suitable methods to determination of decomposition rate. Abiotic factors such as temperature, rainfall, humidity, moisture, evaporation rate and soil physical factors such as soil pH, texture directly correlated to soil microbial such as algae, actinomycetes, bacteria and fungi communities to stimulating action for the breakdown of leaf litter composition (like- cellulose, hemicelluloses, tannin, lignin) and transfer of organic matter to nutrients, release of CO2 to the environment etc.
