Global change: A question of litter quality
Richard J. Norby1 & M. Francesca Cotrufo2
A long-standing hypothesis has been laid to rest, one describing how terrestrial ecosystems will respond to rising levels of CO2in the atmosphere. The forum was a meeting in Capri*, where plant physiologists, ecologists and soil scientists met to re-examine the idea that changes in the chemistry of dead leaves (litter), grown in a high CO2environment, mean that its decomposition rate will decline.
