carbon cycledead woodBrazilDecomposition rate constants were measured for boles of 155 large dead trees (>10 cm diameter) in central Amazon forests, in an area approx. 70 km north of Manaus, Brazil. The vegetation is old-growth dense tropical evergreen, terra firme forest with some trees ...
decay- an inferior state resulting from the process of decaying; "the corpse was in an advanced state of decay"; "the house had fallen into a serious state of decay and disrepair" 3.decomposition- (chemistry) separation of a substance into two or more substances that may differ from each ...
Detritivores is branch of decomposer. It plays an essential role in most biogeochemical cycles like thenitrogen cycle,carbon cycle, and phosphorous cycle. Examples of detritivores are insects (such as mites, butterflies, mites), flies, crabs, millipedes, woodlice, earthworms, etc. Scavenger Scaveng...
Effects of Temperature and Water Level Changes on Enzyme Activities in Two Typical Peatlands: Implications for the Responses of Carbon Cycling in Peatland ... As enzymes are involved in soil nutrient and carbon cycle in peatlands, they were expected to play a key role in regulating soil organic...
Globally, the net effect of insects may account for 29 per cent of the carbon flux from deadwood, which suggests a functional importance of insects in the decomposition of deadwood and the carbon cycle. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution Access options ...

A progressive decreasing in the burn-off, surface area and surface oxygenated groups after each decomposition/regeneration cycle is observed. It can be explained considering that the carbon removed during the regeneration steps is not the carbon deposited from methane but the remaining initial catalyst...
The global environment change is human beings are facing with the important and urgent environmental problems: in natural and human action double drive, the surface of the earth element biogeochemical process and its environmental effect is the current global change research in the area of the import...
Soil microbial respiration is an important source of uncertainty in projecting future climate and carbon (C) cycle feedbacks. However, its feedbacks to climate warming and underlying microbial mechanisms are still poorly understood. Here we show that the temperature sensitivity of soil microbial respirati...
Lithium carbonate plays a critical role in both lithium-carbon dioxide and lithium-air batteries as the main discharge product and a product of side reactions, respectively. Understanding the decomposition of lithium carbonate during electrochemical oxid
