Riverine ecosystems are estimated to receive, process and transport nearly 1.9 Pg of terrestrial carbon per year globally, highlighting the focus many freshwater ecologists have on the factors that explain decomposition rates of senesced plant material. Since Webster and Benfield offered the first comprehensive review of these factors in 1986, there has been an explosion of research addressing key questions about the ecological interactions at play. Ecologists have developed field and laboratory techniques, as well as created global scale collaborations to disentangle the many drivers involved in the decomposition process. This book encapsulates these 30+ years of research, describing the state of knowledge on the ecology of plant litter decomposition in stream ecosystems in 22 chapters written by internationally renowned experts on the subject. 410 0$aBiomedical and Life Sciences Series 606 $aFreshwater ecology 606 $aMarine ecology 606 $aBiotic communities 606 $aPlant ecology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aFreshwater and Marine Ecology 606 $aEcosystems 606 $aPlant Ecology 606 $aBiodiversity 615 0$aFreshwater ecology. 615 0$aMarine ecology. 615 0$aBiotic communities. 615 0$aPlant ecology. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 14$aFreshwater and Marine Ecology. 615 24$aEcosystems. 615 24$aPlant Ecology. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 676 $a577.64 702 $aSwan$b Christopher M. 702 $aCanhoto$b Cristina 702 $aBoyero$b Luz 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910488710103321 996 $aEcology of Plant Litter Decomposition in Stream Ecosystems$94350502 997 $aUNINA
