Time and litter species composition affect litter-mixing effects on decomposition rates

open access: yesPlant and Soil, 2013
Litter decomposition is a fundamental process of biogeochemical cycles. Mixing litter of different species can induce non-additive effect (NAE) on decomposition processes. A better understanding of the factors influencing the direction and magnitude of NAE is important for quantification of ecosystem carbon and nutrient cycling.

Leaf litter quality drives litter mixing effects through complementary resource use among detritivores

open access: yesOecologia, 2013
To comprehend the potential consequences of biodiversity loss on the leaf litter decomposition process, a better understanding of its underlying mechanisms is necessary. Here, we hypothesize that positive litter mixture effects occur via complementary resource use, when litter species complement each other in terms of resource quality for detritivores.
