Effects of Nitrogen Availability on the Fate of Litter-Carbon and Soil Organic Matter Decomposition
Amy E. Kochsiek & Johannes M. H. Knops · International Journal of Environment and Climate Change · 2013
Aims: To determine whether addition of inorganic nitrogen (N) directly to maize litter (stalk and leaf) with differing tissue quality impacts litter and soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition. We tested whether N addition leads to 1) faster litter decomposition, 2) less SOM-C de...
