Litter Decomposition Rates of Four Species of Agroecological Importance in the Peruvian Coast and Andean Highland

Crop residue decomposition is fundamental for ecosystems, influencing carbon cycling, organic matter accumulation, and promoting plant development through nutrient release. Therefore, this study aimed to ascertain the rate of decomposition of four commonly cultivated crops (alfalfa, maize, avocado,...
