Transient Flooding and Soil Covering Interfere with Decomposition Dynamics of <i>Populus</i> <i>euphratica</i> Leaf Litter: Changes of Mass Loss and Stoichiometry of C, N, P, and K

Litter decomposition plays a critical role in carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. However, the effects transient flooding and soil covering have on leaf litter decomposition remain unclear. The changes of litter mass loss and stoichiometric ratio of C:N (the ratio of c...
