Introduction The decomposition of plant litter mass is responsible for substantial carbon
fluxes and remains a key process regulating nutrient cycling in natural and managed …

Leaf decomposition varies widely across temperate forests, shaped by factors like litter
quality, climate, soil properties, and decomposers, but forest heterogeneity may mask local …

Understanding the interactions between plant and soil microbial diversity is crucial for
predicting ecosystem responses to environmental changes. While the individual roles of …

Decomposition rates of litter mixtures reflect the combined effects of litter species diversity,
litter quality, decomposers, their interactions with each other and with the environment. The …

Understanding litter decomposition processes in coastal macrophyte habitats is critically
important for predicting ecosystem functioning. However, decomposition processes of litter …

Environmental and design factors determine the stormwater management capacity of green
roofs; however, the design and environmental factors that impact their hydrological …

What is the effect of phyllosphere microorganisms on litter decomposition in the absence of
