TL;DR: It is hypothesized that litter quality would increase with latitude (despite variation within regions) and traits would be correlated to produce ‘syndromes’ resulting from phylogeny and environmental variation, and it is found lower litter quality and higher nitrogen:phosphorus ratios in the tropics.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global experiment suggests climate warming will not accelerate litter decomposition in streams but might reduce carbon sequestration

TL;DR: It is found that climate warming will likely hasten microbial litter decomposition and produce an equivalent decline in detritivore-mediated decomposition rates, which implies consequences for global biogeochemistry and a possible positive climate feedback.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in Indo-Malayan peat swamp forests
TL;DR: The tropical peat swamp forests of Indonesia and Malaysia are unusual ecosystems that are rich in endemic species of flora, fauna and microbes despite their extreme acidic, anaerobic, nutrient poor conditions as discussed by the authors.
Book
Freshwater invertebrates of the Malaysian region
Hoi-Sen Yong,Catherine M. Yule +1 more
TL;DR: The freshwater fauna of tropical regions is poorly known, yet the tropics hold a large share of the world’s freshwater resources and some extreme and unusual habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A global-scale study of litter breakdown in streams to compare the roles of biotic, climatic and other environmental factors on breakdown rates revealed that breakdown of alder was driven by climate, with some influence of pH, whereas variation in breakdown of litter mixtures was explained mainly by litter quality and PD.
