<p>Since the publication of the 2<sup>nd</sup> edition, there have been substantial developments in the field of litter decomposition. This fully revised and updated 3<sup>rd</sup> edition of <i>Plant Litter</i> reflects and discusses new findings and re-evaluates earlier ones in light of recent research and with regard to current areas of investigation. </p><p>The availability of several long-term studies allows a more in-depth approach to decomposition patterns and to the later stages of decomposition, as well as to humus formation and accumulation. </p><p>The latest information focuses on three fields: </p><p>- the effects of manganese on decomposition and possibly on carbon sequestration, </p><p>- new findings on decomposition dynamics, and</p><p>- the new analytical technique using <sup>13</sup>C-NMR.</p><p></p>
Introduction.- Decomposition as a process – some main features.- Decomposer organisms.- Initial litter chemical composition.- Changes in substrate composition during decomposition.- Chemical constituents as rate regulating: initial variation and changes during decomposition. New and traditional analytical techniques.- Climatic environment.- Decomposition of fine root and woody litter.- Models that describe litter decomposition.- Some possible influences on decomposition pattern, regression model, stable fraction and C sequestration.- Does humus accumulate and where? What factors may influence? Estimating carbon sequestration rates on a regional scale.

Third edition, fully revised and updated with much new material New information emphasizes on three fields: the effects of manganese on decomposition and possibly on carbon sequestration, new results on decomposition dynamics, and the new analytical technique using 13C-NMR In-depth approach to the results of long-term studies Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
