Contrasting patterns of litterfall seasonality and seasonal changes in litter decomposability in a tropical rainforest region
The seasonality of litter inputs in forests has important implications for understanding ecosystem processes and biogeochemical cycles. We quantified the drivers of seasonality in litterfall and leaf decomposability using plots throughout the Australian wet tropical region. Litter fell mostly in the...
