Plant litter decomposition is a crucial ecosystem process that regulates nutrient cycling, soil fertility, and plant productivity and is strongly influenced by increased nitrogen (N) deposition. Howev
Major trade-offs often manifest as axes of diversity in organismal functional systems. Overarching trade-offs may result in high trait integration and restrict the trajectory of diversification to be
In our experiment, involving nine detritivore species from three functional groups (isopods, snails, and earthworms) and two leaf litter species, we found that decomposability is not solely a litter-s
