Diversity meets decomposition
Over 100 gigatons of terrestrial plant biomass are produced globally each year. Ninety
percent of this biomass escapes herbivory and enters the dead organic matter pool, thus …

The elemental stoichiometry of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and its relationships with organismic lifestyle and ecosystem structure and function: a review and …
Abstract C, N and P are three of the most important elements used to build living beings, and
their uptake from the environment is consequently essential for all organisms. We have …
