Climate effects on belowground tea litter decomposition depend on ecosystem and...
Trevathan-Tackett, Stacey M; Kepfer-Rojas, Sebastian; Malerba, Martino; Macreadie, Peter I; Djukic, Ika; Zhao, Junbin; Young, Erica B; York, Paul HPatchy global data on belowground litter decomposition dynamics limit our capacity to discern the drivers of carbon preservation and storage across inland and coastal wetlands. We performed a global, multiyear study in over 180 wetlands across 28 countries and 8 macroclimates using standardized litter as measures of "recalcitrant" (rooibos tea) and "labile" (green tea) organic matter (OM) decomposition. Freshwa...

Impacts of detritivore diversity loss on instream decomposition are greatest in...
Boyero, Luz; López-Rojo, Naiara; Tonin, Alan M.; Pérez, Javier; Correa-Araneda, Francisco; Pearson, Richard G.; Bosch, Jaime; Albariño, Ricardo J.The relationship between detritivore diversity and decomposition can provide information on how biogeochemical cycles are affected by ongoing rates of extinction, but such evidence has come mostly from local studies and microcosm experiments. We conducted a globally distributed experiment (38 streams across 23 countries in 6 continents) using standardised methods to test the hypothesis that detritivore diversit...
Latitude dictates plant diversity effects on instream decomposition
Boyero, Luz; Pérez, Javier; López-Rojo, Naiara; Tonin, Alan M.; Correa-Araneda, Francisco; Pearson, Richard G.; Bosch, Jaime; Albariño, Ricardo J.Running waters contribute substantially to global carbon fluxes through decomposition of terrestrial plant litter by aquatic microorganisms and detritivores. Diversity of this litter may influence instream decomposition globally in ways that are not yet understood. We investigated latitudinal differences in decomposition of litter mixtures of low and high functional diversity in 40 streams on 6 continents and s...
