More of the same? In situ leaf and root decomposition rates do not vary between 80 native and nonnative deciduous forest species.

Abstract excerpt

Invaders often have greater rates of production and produce more labile litter than natives. The increased litter quantity and quality of invaders should increase nutrient cycling through faster litter decomposition. However, the limited number of invasive species that have been included in decomposition studies has hindered the ability to generalize their impacts on decomposition rates. Further, previous...
