Decomposer communities adapted to local litter may lead to faster decomposition rates in their original habitat compared to other environments, so called as ‘home-field advantage’ (HFA). However, we d
Microbial communities adapted to local litter may accelerate ‘home’ leaf litter decomposition rates, a phenomenon known as home-field advantage (HFA). However, we do not yet fully understand HFA, as i
We conducted a 24-month litterbag experiment using leaf litter of Castanopsis ( Castanopsis carlesii ) and Chinese fir ( Cunninghamia lanceolata ) in both canopy and forest flo
