Plant-driven variation in decomposition rates improves projections of global litter stock distribution
Plant litter stocks are critical, regionally for their role in fueling fire regimes and controlling soil fertility, and globally through their feedback to atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> and climate. Here we employ two global databases linking plant functional types to decomposition rates of...
