Fine roots stimulate nutrient release during early stages of leaf litter decomposition in a Central Amazon rainforest

Plant and Soil, 2021
Large parts of the Amazon rainforest grow on weathered soils depleted in phosphorus and rock-derived cations. We tested the hypothesis that in this ecosystem, fine roots stimulate decomposition and nutrient release from leaf litter biochemically by ...
