Who gives a flux? Synchronous flowering of Coffea arabica accelerates leaf litter decomposition
Ecosphere, Volume 11, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020 Abstract Coffee (Coffea arabica) flowers synchronously and flowers are only open for a few days before senescing. Flower petals often decompose easily, containing higher concentrations of nutrients relative to other plant tissues. Thus, a pulse of petals into the detrital pool could be beneficial for the decomposer community and accelerate ...
