The importance of macro- and micro-nutrients over climate for leaf litter decomposition and nutrient release in Patagonian temperate forests

2019-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Temperate forests play an important role in the global carbon (C) cycle. Extensive research on litter decomposition in temperate forests in the Northern Hemisphere have greatly contributed to our conceptual framework of the controls of C cycling, where climate and litter lignin/N ratio have played a dominant role. However, there is a noteworthy lack of basic information on southern temperate forests, which have un...
