Plant production decreases more than litter decomposition with rising aridity in drylands
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog.
Our new findings from field experiments show that aridity in Mediterranean drylands limits productivity more than decomposition, which remains relatively high under dry conditions because of high litter quality and abiotic decay mechanisms.
