Species diversity and chemical properties of litter influence non-additive effects of litter mixtures on soil carbon and nitrogen cycling.

Inter- and transdisciplinary scenario construction to explore future land-use options in southern Amazonia.Decomposition of litter mixtures generally cannot be predicted from the component species incubated in isolation.Therefore, such non-additive effects of litter mixing on soil C and N dynamics remain poorly understood in terrestrial ecosystems.
