Plant Litter Decomposition, Humus Formation, Carbon Sequestration
This book gives basic facts about litter decomposition studies, which are of guidance for scientists who start studies. Since the publication of the third edition, there has been quite a development not only in the field of litter decomposition but also in supporting branches of science, which are i...
