Despite the essential role of litter decomposition in carbon (C) and nutrient cycle in terrestrial
ecosystems, some uncertainties remain about how this fundamental process is affected by …

Background and aims Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition affects litter decomposition.
However, how endogenous litter quality and exogenous resource supply alter the N …

As atmospheric nitrogen (N) concentrations increase, it can wreak havoc on the entire
planet, as well as the fragile ecosystems, once it exceeds the demand of ecosystems …

Nitrogen addition has been shown to affect plant litter decomposition in terrestrial
ecosystems. The way that nitrogen deposition impacts the relationship between plant litter …

Rates of nitrogen (N) deposition are increasing in industrialized and rapidly developing
nations. Simulated N deposition suppresses plant litter decay rates, in particular for low …

Background and aims Litter, an essential component of forest ecosystems, plays an
important role in maintaining soil fertility, sequestering carbon (C) and improving soil …

Background Forest litter decomposition is a major component of the global carbon (C)
budget, and is greatly affected by the atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition observed globally …

We conducted a meta‐analysis of previously published empirical studies that have
examined the effects of nitrogen (N) enrichment on litter decomposition. Our objective was to …

Background and aims Litter decomposition is a critical process in terrestrial ecosystems and
understanding the effects of soil fertility on the litter decay rate is of great ecological …

Anthropogenic activities have increased nitrogen (N) inputs to grassland ecosystems,
greatly affecting ecosystem carbon cycling. To investigate the litter decomposition and …
