Temporal dynamics of climate sensitivity of litter decomposition in a semi-arid grassland by Zhen Li, Fuwei Wang, Yue Wen, Chenglong Ye, Peng Wang, Tongshuo Bai, Xudong Gu, Liang Guo, Yunpeng Qiu, Yi Zhang, Yi Wang, Shuijin Hu

“…Overall, our findings show that the climate sensitivity of litter decomposition exhibited distinct temporal dynamics, with increasing warming sensitivity of decomposition and decreasing moisture sensitivity of decomposition over time. Given that many current decomposition models use a constant sensitivity parameter (e.g., Q10 value = 2.0) throughout the decay process, our results suggest that incorporation of such temporal dynamics into decomposition models may enhance their predictive power.…”
