"Ecosystem type drives tea litter decomposition and associated prokaryo" by Stacey M. Trevathan-Tackett, Sebastian Kepfer-Rojas et al.
Abstract Wetland ecosystems are critical to the regulation of the global carbon cycle, and there is a high demand for data to improve carbon sequestration and emission models and predictions. Decomposition of plant litter is an important component of ecosystem carbon cycling, yet a lack of knowledge on decay rates in wetlands is an impediment to predicting carbon preservation. Here, we aim to fill this knowledge gap by quantifying the decomposition of standardised green and rooibos tea litter o...
