Background and aims Interactive effect of warming and precipitation addition on litter decomposition is still scarce. Moreover, nonlinear response of its temperature sensitivity to warming is ...

Plant species affect natural ecosystems through interactions between environmental and genetic factors. The importance of plant species in controlling decomposition is now well-established through its ...

Study shows that more plant litter resulting from higher CO2 could boost the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere A new study looks at a poorly understood process with potentially critical ...

An analysis of leaf litter breakdown in climatically diverse habitats shows that decomposition by larger invertebrates dominates in hot, dry regions and warmer seasons. Researchers have shown that ...
