Global pattern of leaf litter nitrogen and phosphorus in woody plants [PDF]
, 2010 Forest ecosystems exert an important influence on global biogeochemical cycles. A global dataset of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations in leaf- litter of woody plants was compiled from the literature.

Decomposition disentangled: a test of the multiple mechanisms by which nitrogen enrichment alters litter decomposition [PDF]
, 2019 Nitrogen (N) enrichment has direct effects on ecosystem functioning by altering soil abiotic conditions and indirect effects by reducing plant diversity and shifting plant functional composition from dominance by slow to fast growing species.

COMBINED USE OF OPEN-AIR AND INDOOR FUMIGATION SYSTEMS TO STUDY EFFECTS OF SO-2 ON LEACHING PROCESSES IN SCOTS PINE LITTER [PDF]
, 1991 Both an open-air fumigation system and a laboratory-based system were used to expose decomposing Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) needles to controlled concentrations of SO2 (arithmetric mean less-than-or-equal-to 48 nl litre-1) during a period, in total,

Litter mixing promoted decomposition and altered microbial community in common bean root litter
BMC Microbiology, 2023 Background Decomposition of plant litter is a key driver of carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Mixing litters of different plant species may alter the decomposition rate, but its effect on the microbial decomposer community in plant ...

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 ...
