- ItemVariability in terrestrial litter decomposition can be explained by nutrient allocation strategies among soil decomposer communities(2023) Murua, Jose M.; Gaxiola, Aurora1. Leaf litter decomposition is a key process for nutrient cycling with broad ecosystem-level consequences. However, we still cannot explain an important amount of the observed variability in decomposition rates. Therefore, a mechanistic model of how litter quality impacts the metabolic capacity of microbial decomposers to degrade litter at a given rate could improve our understanding of litter decomposition.
