Role of physical fragmentation and invertebrate activity in the breakdown rate of leaves
We evaluated the relative importance of current velocity and invertebrate activities in the breakdown rate of alder [Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertner] leaves. Decomposition experiments were carried out in artificial channels, where current velocity and shredder presence were manipulated, and in a 4th o...
