Linking litter decomposition of above‐ and below‐ground organs to plant–soil feedbacks worldwide (2013, background): “…were estimated from leaf to fine stem annual litter input ratios from surveys of boreal (Laiho & Prescott 1999; Dearden et al. 2006), temperate (Sykes & Bunce 1970; Hansen et al. 2009) and tropical (Khiewtam & Ramakrishnan 1993; Sundarapandian & Swamy 1999; Liu, Fox & Xu 2003) forest tree species.”
Is Tree Species Diversity or Species Identity the More Important Driver of Soil Carbon Stocks, C/N Ratio, and pH? (2016, background): “The higher forest floor C stock under conifer-dominated forests could be 366 attributed to slower decomposition rates since litterfall rates in coniferous and deciduous tree species are 367 relatively similar within this region (Reich et al., 2005; Vesterdal et al., 2008; Hansen et al., 2009).”
Tree Species Identity Shapes Earthworm Communities (2017, methodology): “We used a 36-year-old common garden experiment with sites distributed across Denmark to verify how the identity of tree species results in very different earthworm community assemblages.”
