TL;DR: This article used a short-term litterbag experiment to quantify the effects of litter quality, placement and mesofaunal exclusion on decomposition in 23 tropical forests in 14 countries, in which two standard substrates (Raphia farinifera and Laurus nobilis ) were decomposed in fine-and coarse-mesh litterbags both above and below ground for approximately 1 year.
