    Decomposition of Leaf Litter in a U.S. Saltmarsh is Driven by Dominant Species, Not Species Complementarity

    To add to our understanding of species richness-effects on ecosystem processes, we studied the importance of species complementarity in driving decomposition in a saltmarsh in Georgia, USA. We studied pair-wis...

    Predator/Prey-Interactions Promote Decomposition of Low-Quality Detritus

    Predation on detritivores is expected to decelerate detritivore-mediated decomposition processes. In field mesocosms, we studied whether the decomposition of leaf and needle litter of live oak (Quercus virginiana

    Colonisation of Beach-Cast Macrophyte Wrack Patches by Talitrid Amphipods: A Primer

    Sandy beaches are characterised by heterogeneously distributed food sources both in time and space. The major energy supply is derived from marine subsidies in the form of beach-cast macrophyte wrack. Wrack pa...

    Detrital subsidy to the supratidal zone provides feeding habitat for intertidal crabs

    Beach-cast wrack of marine origin is considered a spatial subsidy to the marine-terrestrial transition zone. We found that the wrack line on sand and gravel beaches of Vancouver Island was frequented by intert...
