1. Plant species traits are the predominant control on litter decomposition rates within biomes worldwideEcology Letters · 2008 · 2,891 citations

   Worldwide decomposition rates depend both on climate and the legacy of plant functional traits as litter quality. To quantify the degree to which functional differentiation among species affects their litter decomposition rates, we brought together leaf trait and litter mass…

2. Stoichiometry of soil enzyme activity at global scaleEcology Letters · 2008 · 2,627 citations

   Extracellular enzymes are the proximate agents of organic matter decomposition and measures of these activities can be used as indicators of microbial nutrient demand. We conducted a global-scale meta-analysis of the seven-most widely measured soil enzyme activities, using data from…
