Trait-based Decomposition

Trait-Based Decomposition is a framework in litter decomposition research that characterizes decomposition rates through measurable functional traits of plant litter species, distinguishing it from other decomposition models by emphasizing trait-mediated mechanisms over taxonomic or phylogenetic classifications.
