Organic chemical and nutrient dynamics in decomposing beech leaf litter in relation to fungal ingrowth and succession during 3‐year decomposition processes in a cool temperate deciduous forest in Japan

Decomposition processes of beech leaf litter were studied over a 3‐year period in a cool temperate deciduous forest in Japan. Organic chemical and nutrient dynamics, fungal biomass and succession were followed on upper (Moder) and lower (Mull) of a forest slope. Litter decomposition rates were simil... View More
