Global Patterns and Drivers of Litter Decomposition Under Nitrogen Enrichment: A Meta-Analysis

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Nitrogen (N) enrichment has substantially altered patterns of terrestrial litter decomposition, with positive, neutral, and negative effects. However, the general response patterns and drivers of litter decomposition to N enrichment rates are poorly ...

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.

Potential macro-detritivore range expansion into the subarctic stimulates litter decomposition: a new positive feedback mechanism to climate change? [PDF]

, 2011
As a result of low decomposition rates, high-latitude ecosystems store large amounts of carbon. Litter decomposition in these ecosystems is constrained by harsh abiotic conditions, but also by the absence of macro-detritivores.

Warming and nitrogen addition increase litter decomposition in a temperate meadow ecosystem. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Litter decomposition greatly influences soil structure, nutrient content and carbon sequestration, but how litter decomposition is affected by climate change is still not well understood.A field experiment with increased temperature and nitrogen (N ...

Non-native plant litter enhances soil carbon dioxide emissions in an invaded annual grassland. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Litter decomposition is a fundamental ecosystem process in which breakdown and decay of plant detritus releases carbon and nutrients. Invasive exotic plants may produce litter that differs from native plant litter in quality and quantity.

Resolving the intricate role of climate in litter decomposition [PDF]

, 2023
With approximately 60 Pg of carbon (C) released as CO2 annually, the decomposition of dead organic matter feeds the major terrestrial global CO2 flux to the atmosphere. Macroclimate control over this critical C flux facilitates the parametrization of the

Mutual effects between Pinus armandii and broadleaf litter during mixed decomposition

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2019
Mixed-decomposition effects are commonly observed in natural and planted forests and affect nutrient cycling in a forest ecosystem. However, how one litter type affects the decomposition of another is still poorly understood.

Pulse frequency and soil-litter mixing alter the control of cumulative precipitation over litter decomposition [PDF]

, 2017
Macroclimate has traditionally been considered the predominant driver of litter decomposition. However, in drylands, cumulative monthly or annual precipitation typically fails to predict decomposition.

Effects of fire frequency on litter decomposition as mediated by changes to litter chemistry and soil environmental conditions.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Litter quality and soil environmental conditions are well-studied drivers influencing decomposition rates, but the role played by disturbance legacy, such as fire history, in mediating these drivers is not well understood.

TeaTime4Schools: Using Data Mining Techniques to Model Litter Decomposition in Austrian Urban School Soils

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Litter decomposition plays a pivotal role in the global carbon cycle, but is difficult to measure on a global scale, especially by citizen scientists.
