摘要: One aspect of how terrestrial ecosystems will respond to rising levels CO2in the atmosphere is potential changes in decomposition rate leaf litter - a central factor plant growth. It had been thought that would decline high CO2conditions, but this long-established hypothesis was laid rest at meeting September physiologists, ecologists and soil scientists.
