Invasive N-fixer impacts on litter decomposition driven by changes to soil properties not litter quality [PDF]

, 2017
Invasive nitrogen (N)-fixing plants often fundamentally change key ecosystem functions, particularly N-cycling. However, the consequences of this for litter decomposition, and the mechanisms that underpin ecosystem responses, remain poorly understood ...

Future increase in temperature more than decrease in litter quality can affect microbial litter decomposition in streams [PDF]

, 2011
The predicted increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration for this century is expected to lead to increases in temperature and changes in litter quality that can affect small woodland streams, where water tempera- ture is usually low and allochthonous ...
