A large fraction of plant litter comprises recalcitrant aromatic compounds (lignin and other
phenolics). Quantifying the fate of aromatic compounds is difficult, because oxidative …

In recent years, the study of soil nitrogen distribution (SND) in rocky desertification control
ecosystems has increased exponentially. Rocky desertification experiences severe …

As one kind of the most important carbon (C) sink in the world, peatlands are sensitive to
climate change. The decomposition of litter plays an important role in C fixation and nutrient …

Background Leaf litter is the products of metabolism during the growth and development of
plantation, and it is also an important component of nutrient cycling in plantation …

Recent studies have highlighted the critical role of manganese (Mn) in plant litter
decomposition and soil organic carbon (C) cycling in forest ecosystems. Long term nitrogen …

The effects of N deposition on the C and N cycles via altered litter decomposition rates are
an important aspect of global environmental change. The Changbai Mountain region …

Purpose Ammonium and nitrate are the main components of anthropogenic nitrogen (N)
from atmosphere, while their ratio varies worldwide. However, it remains unclear whether …

Nitrogen (N) input affects litter decay and ecosystem functioning. However, the mechanism
of litter decay under temporal N‐inputs has rarely been observed. Here we show that three …

A field experiment was carried out in plant litter decomposition at three sites of the Balaton
System (Balaton—Kis Balaton wetland—Zala Mouth) differing in their environment type …

Rangelands used for cattle grazing in Florida are typically managed under prescribed fire to
increase forage production and nutritive value while preventing shrub encroachment …
