Decomposition is essential to all ecosystems, both on land and in the ocean. In marine environments, decomposition and ...

Integrating big data and a coordinated global field experiment, researchers have developed a model that can predict the decomposition rate of organic matter in rivers worldwide. The global model ...

As global temperatures continue to rise, scientists are working to understand how warming affects the planet’s carbon cycle.

Since the decomposition rate of soil organic carbon (SOC) varies as a function of environmental conditions, global climate change is expected to alter SOC decomposition dynamics, and the resulting ...
