on above-ground litter decomposition in this semi-arid ecosystem. Losses through photochemical mineralization may represent a short-circuit in the carbon cycle, with a substantial fraction of carbon fixed in plant biomass being lost directly to the atmosphere without cycling through soil organic matter ...

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...

Significantly more carbon is stored in the world's soils—including peatlands, wetlands and permafrost—than is present in the atmosphere. Disagreement exists, however, regarding the effects of climate change on global soil carbon stocks. If carbon store
