Ecology and methodology of comparing traits and decomposition rates of green leaves versus senesced litter across plant species and types Open
Variation in leaf traits is critical for carbon gains and losses during leaf life and drives litter carbon and nutrient losses via decomposition. Accurately quantifying litter decomposition parameters is essential for assessing ecosystem c…
