Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Habitat and tree type significantly affected coarse woody debris respiration.
- Association Debris respiration was higher in deciduous broadleaf than coniferous forest.
- Observation Woody debris decomposition showed little home-field advantage.
- Association Microbial PLFA concentration was higher in Platycarya than Cryptomeria debris.
- Association Fungal relative abundance correlated positively with debris respiration.
- Association Soil bacterial-to-fungal ratio correlated positively with debris respiration.
- Mechanism The authors infer that fungi may be primary decomposers of woody debris.
