Site of leaf origin affects how mixed litter decomposes
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2006Abstract Recent studies have demonstrated that mass loss, nutrient dynamics, and decomposer associations in leaf litter from a given plant species can differ when leaves of that species decay alone compared to when they decay mixed with other species’ leaves.

Litter quality is often considered the main driver of decomposition rate. The objective of this study was to investigate the relative contribution of two other tree-driven mechanisms, litter mixing and forest floor conditions, to foliar litter decomposition and nutrient dynamics for trembling aspen ( Populus tremuloides Michx.) and black spruce ( Picea

We have previously demonstrated that the intraspecific diversity of leaf litter can influence ecosystem functioning during litter decomposition in the field. It is unknown whether the effects of phenotypic diversity persist when litter from an additional species is present.

Applied Soil Ecology, 2019
The addition of broad-leaf trees to conifers has many purposes including reduction of soil acidification, increase in litter turnover and increase in fertility. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of mixing broad-leaf trees with coniferous trees on the bacterial and fungal communities and functional genes that govern litter ...

The factors influencing leaf litter decomposition and nutrient release patterns were investigated for 3.6 years in two mixed conifer forests in the southern Sierra Nevada of California. The giant sequoia–fir forest was dominated by giant sequoia (Sequoiadendrongiganteum (Lindl.) Buchh.), white fir (Abiesconcolor Lindl.

Quantifying plant litter cover is important to evaluate the effectiveness of vegetation to protect soil against soil erosion. Field campaign was carried out in the Loess Hilly-gully Region of Northern Shaanxi to acquire the spectral reflectance data of plant-soil mixed scenes for two broadleaf forests and rehabilitated grassland.

Soil–Litter Mixing Accelerates Decomposition in a Chihuahuan Desert Grassland
Ecosystems, 2012Decomposition models typically under-predict decomposition relative to observed rates in drylands. This discrepancy indicates a significant gap in our mechanistic understanding of carbon and nutrient cycling in these systems. Recent research suggests that certain drivers of decomposition that are often not explicitly incorporated into models (for ...
