Data of a litter mass loss experiment across 7 sites and 2 seasons, with three treatments that control organismal access to litter by size (microorganisms only, microbes+mesofauna, microbes+mesofauna+
A microcosm experiment was used to test for the effects of interactions between particular plant and fungal decomposer species on rates of leaf decomposition. Each microcosm contained one species of l
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
