| Concerns over the potential effects of increased atmospheric CO 2 have spurred research on topics as different in scale and process as plant leaf/litter quality and litter decomposition, global climatology and forest carbon storage. Decomposition is central to ecosystem functionality and recent studies have shown that decomposition in forest ecosystems contribute significantly to global carbon studies. Plant litter decomposition has long been recognized as an essential process for nutrient cycling and organic matter turnover within ecosystems that are important determinants of plant productivity and ecosystem carbon (C) storage. Decomposition rate and nutrient release patterns of plant litters are influenced by environmental conditions, the nature of the microorganisms and soil fauna active in the decomposition process, and by substrate quality or litter quality. In general, climate (especially temperature and moisture) governs decay rates on broad regional scales, whereas initial litter quality variables (carbon: nitrogen (C: N) ratio, lignin, N, and lignin: N ratio) are of more importance in controlling decay rates at small scales, ie within site. Interest in the role of litter decomposition in the global carbon cycle has increased recently since (1) increased atmospheric carbon dioxide will probably affect the chemical quality of litter (especially nitrogen content), and (2) global warming may enhance decomposition rates. In this present study, we have reviewed and discussed the four main site factors influencing litter decomposition dynamics in Turkish forests. In general, in Turkish forests, a number of site factors such as topographical landforms (especially … |
