Salamander loss alters litter decomposition dynamics

Science of The Total Environment, 2021
Biodiversity loss affects ecosystem functioning. Top down effects of amphibian declines on the trophic food web of the forest floor are poorly understood. Here we quantify and explain the effects of disease-driven loss of salamanders on the dynamics of forest leaf litter.

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.

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.

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 ...

Decomposition of coarse woody debris in a long-term litter manipulation experiment: A focus on nutrient availability [PDF]

, 2018
The majority of above-ground carbon in tropical forests is stored in wood, which is returned to the atmosphere during decomposition of coarse woody debris.

Fauna access outweighs litter mixture effect during leaf litter decomposition

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
Decomposition rates of litter mixtures reflect the combined effects of litter species diversity, litter quality, decomposers, their interactions with each other and with the environment. The outcomes of those interactions remain ambiguous and past studies have reported conflicting results (e.g., litter mixture richness effects).

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 ...

Early stage litter decomposition across biomes [PDF]

Science of The Total Environment, 2018
Through litter decomposition enormous amounts of carbon is emitted to the atmosphere. Numerous large-scale decomposition experiments have been conducted focusing on this fundamental soil process in order to understand the controls on the terrestrial carbon transfer to the atmosphere.

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.
