Atmospheric nitrogen deposition has increased in the last several decades due to
anthropogenic activities and global changes. Increasing nitrogen deposition has become an …

Global atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition has increased in recent years, affecting key
processes of the carbon (C) cycle in terrestrial ecosystems. Litter decomposition is one of the …

In grassland sites dominated by Stipa baicalensis grassland, we imposed six nitrogen
levels: N 0, N 15, N 30, N 50, N 100 and N 150, respectively. At the various levels of nitrogen …

Litter decomposition is a major method in which nutrients are recycled, especially carbon
and nitrogen elements, in terrestrial ecosystems. However, how the responses of litter …

Plant species are hypothesized to impact ecosystem nitrogen cycling in two distinctly
different ways. First, differences in nitrogen use efficiency can lead to positive feedbacks on …

In order to understand the research progress of litter decomposition and its underlying
mechanisms, this paper presented a bibliometric analysis of litter decomposition in China …

Despite the essential role of litter decomposition in carbon (C) and nutrient cycle in terrestrial
ecosystems, some uncertainties remain about how this fundamental process is affected by …

Nitrogen addition has been shown to affect plant litter decomposition in terrestrial
ecosystems. The way that nitrogen deposition impacts the relationship between plant litter …

Background The decomposition of plant material in arid ecosystems is considered to be
substantially controlled by water and N availability. The responses of litter decomposition to …

Aims Litter decomposition is a crucial component of nutrient recycling. Short-term nitrogen
(N) deposition has been shown to influence litter decomposition in temperate steppe with …
