Foliar Litter Decomposition: A Conceptual Model with Focus on Pine (Pinus) Litter—A Genus with Global Distribution
Figure 10
Net release/uptake in foliar litter of pine species and Norway spruce using Mn release coefficients for linear functions. Available data for pine species was used () as well as for Norway spruce (). The resulting linear function for pine and spruce litter combined was highly significant (R 2 = 0.635; ; ). The figure shows that the data set could be subdivided after genus with the two functions significantly different at . Pine species (◆), Norway spruce (■). Data recalculated from [76].
