Cellulose Dynamics during Foliar Litter Decomposition in an Alpine Forest Meta-Ecosystem

Cellulose Dynamics during Foliar Litter Decomposition in an Alpine Forest Meta-Ecosystem

To investigate the dynamics and relative drivers of cellulose degradation during litter decomposition, a field experiment was conducted in three individual ecosystems (i.e., forest floor, stream, and riparian zone) of an alpine forest meta-ecosystem on the eastern Tibetan Plateau. Four litter specie...
