Leaf mechanical properties as potential predictors of leaf-litter decomposability
The mechanical resistance of plant leaves to herbivores and physical disturbances have a lasting legacy impact on leaf-litter decomposition rates and nutrient leaching. However, in the past, leaf mechanics were seldom considered as key factors in regulating ecological processes related to leaf-litte...
