Bidirectional Regulatory Effects of Warming and Winter Snow Changes on Litter Decomposition in Desert Ecosystems [PDF]

Plants
Temperature and precipitation are the primary factors restricting litter decomposition in desert ecosystems. The desert ecosystems in Central Asia are ecologically fragile regions, and the climate shows a trend of “warm and wet” due to the regional ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Warming and leaf litter functional diversity, not litter quality, drive decomposition in a freshwater ecosystem

Scientific Reports, 2020
Environment, litter composition and decomposer community are known to be the main drivers of litter decomposition in aquatic ecosystems. However, it remains unclear whether litter quality or functional diversity prevails under warming conditions.

Changes in leaf litter decomposition of primary Korean pine forests after degradation succession into secondary broad‐leaved forests

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Forest degradation succession often leads to changes in forest ecosystem functioning. Exactly how the decomposition of leaf litter is affected in a disturbed forest remains unknown.
