Foliar Litter Decomposition: A Conceptual Model with Focus on Pine (Pinus) Litter—A Genus with Global Distribution
Figure 6
Linear relationship between increasing concentrations of N and accumulated mass loss for decomposing Scots pine needle litter. Incubations were made at one site, a nutrient-poor Scots pine forest. Data are pooled from 14 studies, each representing an incubation of local litter sampled in a different year (; ; ). Figure from [32], data from [44, 67].
