3/ 🔑 Lower-quality plant litter, often resulting from shrubification and shifts in vegetation, decomposes faster under warming. These changes could accelerate carbon release, impacting carbon storage in ecosystems. 🌱 #Shrubification

Environmental Conditions Modulate Warming Effects on Plant Litter Decomposition Globally Empirical studies show substantial variability in plant litter decomposition responses to warming, leaving the overall impact of climate change on decomposition uncertain. Our meta-analysis of 109 ex...
