DOI: 10.1007/s10342-019-01211-4
Abstract: Nitrogen (N) plays a vital role in litter decomposition by interacting with microbial activity in temperate and boreal ecosystems. However, in tropical and subtropical forests, where low soil phosphorus (P) availability is widespread, how P… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f14061092
Abstract: Aims: Changes in root system architecture (RSA) and soil depth affect the root decomposition rate. However, due to soil opacity, many variables of RSA have not been well studied or even measured. Methods: To investigate… read more here.
