A global experiment suggests climate warming will not accelerate litter decomposition in streams but might reduce carbon sequestration

The decomposition of plant litter is one of the most important ecosystem processes in the biosphere and is particularly sensitive to climate warming. Aquatic ecosystems are well suited to studying warming effects on decomposition because the otherwise confounding influence of moisture is constant. B...
