Foliar and Woody Litter Decomposition in a Shrub-Invaded Sonoran Desert Grassland

Decomposition of organic matter is a critical component in global biogeochemical cycling. While decomposition rates have been robustly predicted for mesic systems, modeling decomposition dynamics in drylands has proven to be problematic, reflecting a need to account for processes that may be unique...
