Regional contingencies in the relationship between aboveground biomass and litter in the world’s grasslands [PDF]

, 2013
Based on regional-scale studies, aboveground production and litter decomposition are thought to positively covary, because they are driven by shared biotic and climatic factors.

Effects of experimental fires on litter decomposition in a seasonally dry Amazonian forest. [PDF]

, 2009
Litter decomposition is a fundamental process for nutrient cycling but we have a limited understanding of this process in disturbed tropical forests. We studied litter decomposition over a 10-mo period in a seasonally dry Amazon forest in Mato Grosso ...

Direct and indirect effects of UV-B exposure on litter decomposition: a meta-analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) exposure in the course of litter decomposition may have a direct effect on decomposition rates via changing states of photodegradation or decomposer constitution in litter while UV-B exposure during growth periods may alter chemical ...

Effects of soil fauna on litter decomposition in Chinese forests: a meta-analysis [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Litter quality and climate have been presumed to be the dominant factors regulating litter decomposition rates on broad spatial scales. However, the role of soil fauna on litter decomposition is poorly understood, despite the fact that it could strongly ...

Incubation of ombrotrophic bog litter and mixtures of Sphagnum, Betula and Calluna results in the formation of single litter-specific decomposition patterns

Geoderma, 2023
Peat accumulation is the result of an imbalance between the biomass production and the reduced decomposition of organic matter, which has allowed peatlands to accumulate high levels of carbon over time.

Effects of litter manipulation on litter decomposition in a successional gradients of tropical forests in southern China. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Global changes such as increasing CO2, rising temperature, and land-use change are likely to drive shifts in litter inputs to forest floors, but the effects of such changes on litter decomposition remain largely unknown.

Combined effects of water temperature, grazing snails and terrestrial herbivores on leaf decomposition in urban streams [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
The decomposition of organic matter in freshwaters, such as leaf litter, can affect global nutrient (e.g., carbon) cycling. This process can be influenced by fast urbanization through increased water temperature, reduced aquatic diversity and changed ...

DECOMPOSITION OF DIVERSE LITTER MIXTURES IN STREAMS [PDF]

Ecology, 2007
In view of growing interest in understanding how biodiversity affects ecosystem functioning, we investigated effects of riparian plant diversity on litter decomposition in forest streams. Leaf litter from 10 deciduous tree species was collected during natural leaf fall at two locations (Massif Central in France and Carpathians in Romania) and exposed ...

Design and analysis of laboratory experiments on aquatic plant litter decomposition [PDF]

, 2023
Microcosm studies are a useful tool when it comes to studying leaf litter decomposition but designing and analysing them can be a tricky path with many pitfalls.
