Effects of initial leaching for estimates of mass loss and microbial decomposition—Call for an increased nuance
Abstract Decomposition is essential to carbon, nutrient, and energy cycling among and within ecosystems. Several methods have been proposed for studying litter decomposition by using a standardized and commercially available substrate. One of these methods is the Tea Bag Index (TBI) which uses tea b...
