The dual role of detritus as resource and habitat: integrating non‐trophic processes to ecosystem dynamics

Oikos, EarlyView.
The diversity of ecological interactions, both trophic and non‐trophic, is central to understanding the assembly of communities. However, we have yet to study non‐trophic processes through their action on ecosystem compartments such as detritus involved in both recycling and habitat provisioning.
