Influences of Carrion Decomposition on Soil Nutrient Leakage in a Boreal Forest
We studied elemental leakage into the soil due to carrion decomposition in a boreal forest in Norway. We found that longer carrion decomposition times resulted in increased concentrations of N, Na and B in the soil. To our knowledge, we are the first that included a wide range of chemical elements in our analysis, including macro and trace elements ...
