Siqi Wu et al. explored whether the decomposition of surplus litter input on the soil surface is facilitated by #ElevatedCarbonDioxide (eCO2) across a broad range of terrestrial ecosystems

#CarbonDioxideFertilization | #LitterDecomposition | #CarbonRelease | #NitrogenRelease

🔎 #Warming & #ElevatedCarbonDioxide ➡️ #PhaeodactylumTricornutumBohlin (CO2 gradients)
Results:
1️⃣ Populations adapted to different environmental regimes exhibit multi-trait variation across CO2 gradients.
2️⃣ The variability driven by long-term adaptation > by short-term CO2 changes.

#ElevatedCarbonDioxide (eCO2) ➡️ the decomposition of #LitterMass on the soil surface❓
Observation indicators:
1️⃣litter mass loss;
2️⃣carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) release.
Degree of impact:
1️⃣forests > croplands and grasslands;
2️⃣broadleaved > coniferous;
3️⃣root > leaf and stem.
