Interactions among litter chemical traits alter the non-additive effect of litter mixing [PDF]
, 2021 Litter decomposition is a fundamental nutrient cycling process, and litter diversity decreases induced by biodiversity loss have substantial effects on soil carbon cycling. However, few experimental studies have characterized the effect of litter diversity on and litter chemistry.

Influence of Litter on Herbage Production in the Mixed Prairie [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1993 Lifter (dead plant material) increases production in xeric environments but the nature of this effect is uncertain. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between liner quantity and herbage production over a 4-year period as well as to determine the effect of repeated removal of lifter on production.

Synergistic effects: a common theme in mixed‐species litter decomposition [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2020 Summary Litter decomposition plays a key role in nutrient cycling across ecosystems, yet to date, we lack a comprehensive understanding of the nonadditive decomposition effects in leaf litter mixing experiments.

ALKALINE PRETREATMENT AND AIR MIXING FOR IMPROVEMENT OF METHANE PRODUCTION FROM ANAEROBIC CO-DIGESTION OF POULTRY LITTER WITH WHEAT STRAW [PDF]
Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2023 ● Integration of alkaline pretreatment and air mixing for co-digestion was validated.● Alkaline pretreatment enhanced hydrolysis of poultry litter and wheat straw.● Cumulative methane yield was improved by 46.7% compared to the control.● The cone model ...

Agonistic Interactions between Littermates Reappear after Mixing Multiple Litters at Weaning in Pigs
Agriculture, 2021 Weaning involves mixing of unfamiliar litters and is accompanied by an outbreak of aggression, which is usually attributed to between-litter (BL) interactions.
