Understanding litter decomposition in semiarid ecosystems: linking leaf traits, UV exposure and rainfall variability

Differences in litter quality, microbial activity or abiotic conditions cannot fully account for the variability in decomposition rates observed in semiarid ecosystems. Here we tested the role of variation in litter quality, water supply, and UV radiation as drivers of litter decomposition in arid l...
