GeodermaLitter decomposition regulates nutrient cycling and carbon turnover, with fungi arguably being the main drivers. While protists are interacting with fungi, their role, as well as the interaction between both groups of microeukaryotes in litter ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Mass loss and nutrient release during litter decomposition drive biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the relationship between the litter decomposition process and the decomposition stage, precipitation, and litter quality has ...

Decomposition of Scots pine fine woody debris in boreal conditions : implications for estimating carbon pools and fluxes [PDF]
, 2009 "Litter quality and environmental effects on Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) fine woody debris (FWD) decomposition were examined in three forestry-drained peatlands representing different site types along a climatic gradient from the north boreal ...

Marine litter can shift sea turtle nests toward the shoreline
Oikos, EarlyView.Marine litter is an emerging threat to sea turtle rookeries, yet its effects on nesting behaviour remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated how macro‐litter accumulation on beaches influences the spatial distribution of loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta nests on Boa Vista Island, Cabo Verde.

Litter layer influence on the thermal regime of a sandy soil under a pine forest in mediterranean Portugal [PDF]
, 2004 Decomposition of needle litter is a relevant process in applied ecology, namely in the nutrient dynamics of forested ecosystems. Soil temperature strongly influences soil microbian activity.

Oikos, EarlyView.Droughts, increasingly frequent under human‐driven climate change, are expected to intensify globally. Both pulsed and prolonged droughts can strongly affect organismal survival and population dynamics, potentially altering terrestrial communities and ecosystems.

Future increase in temperature more than decrease in litter quality can affect microbial litter decomposition in streams [PDF]
, 2011 The predicted increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration for this century is expected to lead to increases in temperature and changes in litter quality that can affect small woodland streams, where water tempera- ture is usually low and allochthonous ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Tree‐planting initiatives are a crucial part of international sustainability and climate action efforts. Yet, many of these initiatives fail to achieve their long‐term sustainability and climate goals. The role of community value is an often‐overlooked factor in promoting the success of new tree plantings.

Effects of ploughing depth on decomposition of barley straw in organically managed soil [PDF]
, 2006 Litterbag were used to study the effects of different ploughing depths on decomposition rate of barley straw with different ploughing depths. The burying depth of the litter (13 vs 25 cm) affected the decomposition rate of barely straw more than the ...
