Description
Standard litterbag method deployed across elevation gradient to study litter decomposition rates and microbial succession. Involves placing known masses of litter in mesh bags and retrieving over time to track mass loss and community changes.
Typical Equipment
- mesh bags
- analytical balance
- collection bags
- GPS units
Output Measurements
- mass loss rates
- decomposition rates
- remaining litter mass
