Biological processes are thought to be the primary cause of decomposition of organic matter in terrestrial ecosystems, with abiotic processes such as degradation by UV-B radiation playing a minor role. Not so, according to a study in the semi-arid Patago
To address some of the issues identified here, a formal theoretical framework is proposed to study the sensitivity of respiration rates with respect to changes in multiple drivers of decomposition. 展开 关键词: Quality-temperature hypothesis, Arrhenius kinetics, Soil respiration, Carbon cycle feedbacks,...

Bacteria and fungi decompose most plant detritus (litter) in terrestrial ecosystems (Swift et al., 1979), and this process is a key step in the carbon cycle, as it mediates the balance of carbon being respired as CO2 into the atmosphere or stored in the soil (Adair et al., 2008). ...
Despite the importance of root decomposition in predicting ecosystem responses to future climate change, the effects of branch order on root decomposition and the feedback to soil still remains poorly understood. Here we separated root samples taken from two tree species (Castanopsis fargesii and Schim...
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
Background/Question/Methods Decomposition of plant litter is a key process in biogeochemical cycles of major elements. In light of the strong link between global warming and the carbon cycle much effort was dedicated in recent years to improve the understanding of plant litter decomposition and to ...
