Plant litter decomposition is a key process that influences carbon and nutrient cycling in
terrestrial ecosystems. Litter decomposition is controlled by a number of factors such as …

The study of coupled green and brown food webs has improved our ability to understand
how nutrient cycling and plant communities respond to perturbations. Yet, it is still difficult to …

In this article we reviewed the latest development in the studies on the forest the litter
dynamics. Study on the litter dynamics advances with the improvement of research methods …

A field-scale experiment with nitrogen (N) addition treatments was performed in three forest
types–a pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.) forest, a pine-broadleaf mixed forest (mixed) and a …

Methods Here, we carried out an interaction experiment of warming (3.3 C) and nitrogen
addition (50 kg ha− 1 yr− 1) and a recovery experiment (remove warming and nitrogen …

Background and aims Leaf litter decomposes on the surface of soil in natural systems and
element transfers between litter and soil are commonly found. However, how litter and soil …

Background Litter decomposition greatly influences soil structure, nutrient content and
carbon sequestration, but how litter decomposition is affected by climate change is still not …

The effects of N deposition on the C and N cycles via altered litter decomposition rates are
an important aspect of global environmental change. The Changbai Mountain region …

Litter decomposition is an important component of the nutrient recycling process and is
highly sensitive to climate change. However, the impacts of warming and increased …

Aims The decomposition of plant litter is a complex process mediated by biotic and abiotic
factors. However, litter decomposition and its controlling factors are still controversial and …
