Do climate and soil influence phenotypic variability in leaf litter, microbial decomposition and shredder consumption?

We tested the hypothesis that water stress and soil nutrient availability drive leaf-litter quality for decomposers and detritivores by relating chemical and physical leaf-litter properties and decomposability of Alnus glutinosa and Quercus robur, sampled together with edaphic parameters, across wid...
