Nitrogen Deposition Reduces the Rate of Leaf Litter Decomposition: A Global Study
The litter decomposition of plant leaves is a vital process in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling in global terrestrial ecosystems. However, previous assessments of the key determinants of the N deposition effects of litter decomposition have been more controversial. In this meta-analysis, we compared the overall effects of N addition on the litter decomposition rates, litter nutrient content (C and N), and litter constituent (lignin and cellulose) residual rates using a log response ratio approach. Our results showed that exogenous N addition increased the N content and inhibited lignin degradation in litter. N deposition decreased the leaf litter decomposition rate by increasing the lignin and N residues and decreasing the litter C content and soil pH. The analysis also concluded that the initial litter C/N ratio, lignin content, and soil pH were main factors in mediating the effect of N deposition on litter decomposition rate. Overall, the results of this study indicate that N deposition can slow decomposition rates by inhibiting N release and lignin degradation of litter. Notably, these results emphasize that the effect of N deposition on litter decomposition mainly depends on the endogenous quality of the litter and soil pH in the decomposition environment.
