- Association Both species had higher mass loss in timberline than coniferous forest.
- Association Both species had lower enzyme activity in timberline than coniferous forest.
- Observation A. hookeri snow-season mass loss was 69.8% and 83.0% of annual loss in timberline and forest.
- Observation C. montana growing-season mass loss was 82.6% and 83.4% of annual loss in timberline and forest.
- Association C. montana litter decayed faster in the growing season with higher cellulase activity.
- Association Freeze-thaw cycles mainly affected decomposition enzyme activities in snow-covered season.
