The impact of decomposer size classes and litter quality on litter decomposition in food forests

Data from a tree leaf litter bag experiment performed in 2021 in the Netherlands in 4 food forests and adjacent grassland sites. Impact of land use type, litter quality and relative contribution of the decomposer size classes were studied. Litter mass loss, litter C:N and lignin data and data of the soil physical, chemical and biological properties of the same sites. The file Metadata gives for all the other files their column information, units used and general information about the experiment.
