Abstract

Abstract The decomposition and transformation of above‐ and below‐ground plant detritus (litter) is the main process by which soil organic matter ( SOM ) is formed. Yet, research on litter decay and SOM formation has been largely uncoupled, failing to provide an effective nexus between these two fun...
