Riparian plant litter quality increases with latitude
(Nature Publishing, 2017-09-05)
Plant litter represents a major basal resource in streams, where its decomposition is partly regulated by litter traits. Litter-trait variation may determine the latitudinal gradient in decomposition in streams, which is ...
Latitude Dictates Plant Diversity Effects on Instream Decomposition
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-03)
Running waters contribute substantially to global carbon fluxes through decomposition of terrestrial plant litter by aquatic microorganisms and detritivores. Diversity of this litter may influence instream decomposition ...
Impacts of Detritivore Diversity Loss on Instream Decomposition Are Greatest in the Tropics
(Springer, 2021-06-17)
The relationship between detritivore diversity and decomposition can provide information on how biogeochemical cycles are affected by ongoing rates of extinction, but such evidence has come mostly from local studies and ...
