Land use, litter quality and climate effect on early stage litter decomposition [PDF]

, 2021
Litter decomposition represents one of the largest fluxes in the global terrestrial carbon cycle and a number of large-scale decomposition experiments have been conducted focusing on this fundamental soil process. The main factors affecting litter decomposition are the environmental conditions, litter quality and microbial community.

Litter quality, stream characteristics and litter diversity influence decomposition rates and macroinvertebrates

Freshwater Biology, 2006
Summary1. We examined the relative importance of litter quality and stream characteristics in determining decomposition rate and the macroinvertebrate assemblage living on autumn‐shed leaves.2. We compared the decomposition rates of five native riparian tree species (Populus fremontii, Alnus oblongifolia, Platanus wrightii, Fraxinus velutina and ...

Litter quality mediated nitrogen effect on plant litter decomposition regardless of soil fauna presence

Ecology, 2016
AbstractNitrogen addition has been shown to affect plant litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems. The way that nitrogen deposition impacts the relationship between plant litter decomposition and altered soil nitrogen availability is unclear, however.

Control of climate and litter quality on leaf litter decomposition in different climatic zones

Journal of Plant Research, 2015
Climate and initial litter quality are the major factors influencing decomposition rates on large scales. We established a comprehensive database of terrestrial leaf litter decomposition, including 785 datasets, to examine the relationship between climate and litter quality and evaluate the factors controlling decomposition on a global scale, the arid ...

Litter Quality and Decomposition Rates of Foliar Litter Produced under CO2 Enrichment

1996
Decomposition of senesced plant material is one of two critical processes linking above- and below-ground components of nutrient cycles. As such, it is a key area of concern in understanding and predicting ecosystem responses to elevated atmospheric CO{sub 2}.

Long‐term responses of leaf litter decomposition to temperature, litter quality and litter mixing in plateau wetlands

Freshwater Biology, 2016
SummaryDecomposition of plant litter is a key process in the flow of energy and nutrients in ecosystems. The extent and mechanisms towards which climate warming will affect litter decomposition in plateau wetlands remains largely unknown.We conducted a two‐year litter decomposition experiment along an elevation gradient from 1891 to 3260 m in China ...

Litter decomposition in Mediterranean ecosystems: Modelling the controlling role of climatic conditions and litter quality

Applied Soil Ecology, 2011
A new process-based model of litter decomposition, characterized by detailed climatic data input and simple litter quality parameters, is proposed. Compared to existing litter carbon models, specific imple- mentations for temperature and moisture limiting effects have been adopted.

Decomposition of tree leaf litters grown under elevated CO2: Effect of litter quality

Plant and Soil, 1994
Ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.), birch (Betula pubescens Ehrh.), sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) and Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.) leaf litters were monitored for decomposition rates and nutrient release in a laboratory microcosm experiment.
