Estimating Litter Decomposition Rate in Single-Pool Models Using Nonlinear Beta Regression

Litter decomposition rate (k) is typically estimated from proportional litter mass loss data using models that assume constant, normally distributed errors. However, such data often show non-normal errors with reduced variance near bounds (0 or 1), potentially leading to biased k estimates. We compa...
