![]() This data synthesis revealed significant relationships between litter decomposition rates and the combination of climatic factor (MAT) and litter quality (C:N, TN). These results indicate that litter quality is the most important direct regulator of litter decomposition at the global scale. The combination of LAT, MAT, C:N and TN accounted for 87.54% of the variation in the litter decomposition rates. ![]() However, the combination of total nutrient (TN) elements and C:N accounted for 70.2% of the variation in the litter decomposition rates. Single factor such as climate, litter quality and geographic variable could not explain litter decomposition rates well. The k values tended to decrease with latitude (LAT) and lignin content (LIGN) of litter but increased with temperature, precipitation and nutrient concentrations at the large spatial scale. ![]()
