Litter decomposition, climate and liter quality.
TL;DR: Interest in the role of litter decomposition in the global carbon cycle has increased recently since (1) increased atmospheric carbon dioxide will probably affect the chemical quality of litter (especially nitrogen content), and (2) global warming may enhance decomposition rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Litter mass loss rates in pine forests of Europe and Eastern United States: some relationships with climate and litter quality

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared regional variation in litter mass-loss rates (first year) in pine forests to climate across a large, continental-scale area using 39 experimental sites spanning climatic regions from the subarctic to subtropical and Mediterranean: the latitudinal gradient ranged from 31 °N to 70 °N and may represent the largest geographical area that has been sampled and observed for the purpose of studying biogeochemical processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Atmospheric CO 2 and Litter Quality: Decomposition of Sweet Chestnut Leaf Litter with Animal Food Webs of Different Complexities
TL;DR: The experiment was set up to determine the effects of the modifications of the litter quality, and the influence of interacting groups of soil fauna on the mineralization and leaching of carbon and nitrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature responses of carbon mineralization in conifer forest soils from different regional climates incubated under standard laboratory conditions
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical composition and carbon mineralisation potential of Scots pine needles at different stages of decomposition
TL;DR: In this paper, chemical changes in decomposing Scots pine needles exposed for 22 months in litter bags in central France forest were determined using near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS).
