#Drying affects #river functioning at the network scale. Now, we know that local drying events interact w/ regional connectivity to control 🍂decomposition by shaping decomposers #diversity. Curious? Learn more in our new paper in @globalchangebio.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Drying Halves Decomposition Rates in River Networks by Decreasing Decomposer DiversityShort drying events can have long-lasting impacts on the functioning of whole river networks. We found that just a few days without water reduced leaf decomposition by up to half, because drying redu...onlinelibrary.wiley.com
