Litter moisture adsorption is tied to tissue structure, chemistry, and energy concentration

Abstract The ability of plant litter to adsorb water is important for wildland fire, hydrological, and biogeochemical processes. Variation in water adsorption has largely been attributed to physical differences across species, with the role of litter chemistry in moisture dynamics receiving little a...
