Quantifying the factors affecting wood decomposition across a tropical forest disturbance gradient by Dossa, G.G.O., Paudel, E., Schaefer, D., Zhang, J.L., Cao, K.-F., Xu, J.C., Harrison, R.D.

“…WSG loss explained 0% and 19% of mass loss variation in Listea and Castanopsis, respectively, in absence of termites and 0% for both in the presence of termites. Afterlife effects of wood functional traits interact with abiotic conditions and decomposition processes (microbial decomposition, macro-organisms (termites), photo-degradation) in a complex manner to determine wood decomposition rates. …”
