Autumn sunlight promotes aboveground carbon loss in a temperate mixed forest

Abstract Background Photodegradation of plant litter plays a pivotal role in the global carbon (C) cycle. In temperate forest ecosystems, the exposure of plant litter to solar radiation can be significantly altered by changes in autumn phenology and snow cover due to climatic change. How this will a...
