A closeup study of early beech litter decomposition : potential drivers and microbial interactions on a changing substrate
AIMS: Litter decomposition and subsequent nutrient release play a major role in forest carbon and nutrient cycling. To elucidate how soluble or bulk nutrient ratios affect the decomposition process of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) litter, we conducted a microcosm experiment over an 8 week period. Speci...
