Chemical underpinning of the tea bag index: An examination of the decomposition of tea leaves [PDF]

, 2020
Decomposition is a key flux of terrestrial carbon to the atmosphere. Therefore, gaining a better understanding of how plant litter decomposes in soil, and what governs this process, is vital for global climate models.
