Plant Litter (Decomposition, Humus Formation, Carbon Sequestration)

When starting our work on this book, we intended to summarize and synthesize the new information that had developed in the last 20–30 years in the field of plant lit-ter decomposition. It turned out, however, that the main part of more recent work was directed toward boreal and temperate forest systems, and therefore with a focus on these ecosystems, we finally concluded a synthesis that has a similarity to a case study. Still, we hope that a deeper insight into the behavior of a limited number of litter species will be of value for a generalization, and also for the identification of process systems that deviate from those presented here.
We have written the book focusing on the transfer from newly shed litter to recalcitrant humus, describing and explaining the system of chemical changes taking place in the process both on a mechanistic basis, and on a more general and regional level, considering different climates and species.
