Plant Litter
Decomposition, Humus Formation, Carbon Sequestration
Since the publication of the 2 nd edition, there have been substantial developments in the field of litter decomposition. This fully revised and updated 3 rd edition of Plant Litter reflects and discusses new findings and re-evaluates earlier ones in light of recent research and with regard to current areas of investigation. The availability of several long-term studies allows a more in-depth approach to decomposition patterns and to the later stages of decomposition, as well as to humus formation and accumulation. The latest information focuses on three fields: - the effects of manganese on decomposition and possibly on carbon sequestration, - new findings on decomposition dynamics, and - the new analytical technique using 13 C-NMR.
