Tree species identity is the predominant modulator of the effects of soil fauna on leaf litter decomposition

Soil fauna is one of the key drivers of the litter decomposition at both local and global scales, yet the role of tree species in mediating the effects of soil fauna on litter decomposition remains elusive. We conducted a field experiment using litterbags with three different mesh sizes that allowed...
