Litter quality is in the eye of the beholder: initial decomposition rates as a function of inoculum characteristics (2009, background): “…extent this effect inﬂuences decomposition rates in the ﬁeld, but it does offer one explanation for why different litter chemistries do not always lead to expected differences in decomposition rates in situ (Hunt et al. 1988; Gholz et al. 2000; Castanho & de Oliveira 2008; Vivanco & Austin 2008).”
Decay rates of leaf litters from arbuscular mycorrhizal trees are more sensitive to soil effects than litters from ectomycorrhizal trees (2015, background): “In addition to influencing decomposition rates though litter quality (Melillo, Aber & Muratore 1982), plants can alter soil properties that feedback to impact leaf litter decomposition rates (Vivanco & Austin 2008; Ward et al. 2015).”
Plant secondary metabolites: a key driver of litter decomposition and soil nutrient cycling (2016, background): “…it was derived than in a foreign habitat, which has been termed the homefield advantage (HFA) of litter decomposition (Hunt et al. 1988; Gholz et al. 2000; Ayres, Dromph & Bardgett 2006; Vivanco & Austin 2008; Ayres et al. 2009a,b; Strickland et al. 2009; Veen et al. 2014; Chomel et al. 2015).”
Decomposition and nutrient dynamics in mixed litter of Mediterranean species (2010, result): “However, several other studies found no positive relationships between litter diversity and litter decay rate (Chapman et al. 1988; Wardle et al. 1997; Schädler and Brandl 2005; Wardle et al. 2006; Vivanco and Austin, 2008), or even a slower decay rate in mixtures (Swan and Palmer 2004).”
Multiple mechanisms for trait effects on litter decomposition: moving beyond home‐field advantage with a new hypothesis (2012, background): “…decomposed more rapidly than expected when incubated in their own environment than away (Bocock et al. 1960; Hunt et al. 1988; de Toledo Castanho & de Oliveira 2008; Vivanco & Austin 2008), which has been referred to as the home-field advantage hypothesis (HFA; Hunt et al. 1988; Gholz et al. 2000).”
Tree species mixing affects soil microbial functioning indirectly via root and litter traits and soil parameters in European forests (2021, methodology): “155 Within each plot, five tree triplets were identified following the approach described by 156 Vivanco & Austin (2008), a tree triplet being a triangle of three canopy tree individuals with 157 less than 8 m distance from one another and with no other tree individuals within the triangle.”
Disentangling the mechanisms underlying functional differences among decomposer communities (2014, methodology): “…and HFA is commonly inferred from a statistical interaction term in a two-way ANOVA or simply through visual assessments of litter decomposition rates (Gholz et al. 2000; Castanho & de Oliveira 2008; Vivanco & Austin 2008; Strickland et al. 2009a; Wallenstein et al. 2010; Wang, Zhong & He 2012).”
No ‘home’ versus ‘away’ effects of decomposition found in a grassland–forest reciprocal litter transplant study (2011, background): “HFA values were both positive in 11 of the 12 studies where the home litter was cleared (Bocock et al., 1960; Castanho and de Oliveira, 2008; Vivanco and Austin, 2008) and”
Decomposition of Eucalyptus grandis and Acacia mangium leaves and fine roots in tropical conditions did not meet the Home Field Advantage hypothesis (2016, background): “, 2009) and the ecosystems were dominated by single plant species (Vivanco and Austin, 2008).”
