    • The Effects of Forest Operations and Silvicultural Treatments on Litter Decomposition Rate: a Meta-analysis
    Authors: Latterini, Francesco; Dyderski, Marcin K.; Horodecki, Paweł;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    As litter decomposition is a fundamental process in forest ecosystems, representing the link between aboveground and belowground biogeochemical processes, we developed an effect size summarisation of the implications of forest management on litter decomposition rate, by applying a multi-level meta-analysis and multivariate mixed-effects meta-analytic linear models. Our aim was to review the findings of the current literature and to understand how forest management, silvicultural treatment, and forest operations could affect litter decomposition rate. Furthermore, we investigated the effects of environmental variables that included stand type, climatic conditions, and the percentage of biomass removal on litter decomposition rate.
