Litter Accumulation and Decomposition in Three Types of Grassland

Article Preview

Abstract:

The litter accumulation and decomposing biomass characteristics under meadow, typical steppe and desert steppe were comparatively studied. Results showed that accumulation and decomposition of litter was the biggest under meadow than typical steppe and desert steppe. Variance analysis indicated that accumulation mass and decomposition rate among the three steppe types were significantly different. Therefore, litters accumulation of different steppe types was greatly affected by precipitation and temperature.
