Sentence examples for climate decomposition from inspiring English sources

Climate, measured as the climate decomposition index, best predicted mass loss in the longer term, over 23 and 31 months (the maximum incubation period).

A similar approach is used to represent the daily effect of temperature (T Decomp) and moisture content (M Decomp) on dead organic matter decomposition rates through the calculation of an annual climate decomposition response index (DRI y, Eq. 4).

In FORECAST Climate, these decomposition rates are modified through the use of annual indices of temperature and moisture.

Evidence of the positive influence of climate enhanced decomposition and nutrient mineralisation rates on productivity has been observed by several authors.

The climate-influenced decomposition functions for the study area are shown in Fig. 2c, d.

The apparent lack of climate effects on decomposition of logs in the field indicates that regional decomposition models for CWD may be developed on the basis of information on decomposition time, tree species and dimension only.

Fig. 9 Simulation results showing the effects of climate change on decomposition rate (a) and litter nitrogen release (b).

Mean values for climate growth and decomposition response indices (GRINormal, and DRINormal) were calculated by running the model in climate calibration mode using the 30 years of daily reference climate data to drive the model without climate feedback on growth.

The objective of this study was to evaluate direct and indirect effects of climate on litter decomposition along an altitudinal gradient in a temperate Alpine region.

For the climate chamber incubation, decomposition rate for the 14 daily measurements was calculated with an equation adapted from Alef and Nannipieri (1995): {D}_r=frac{left({V}_0-Vright cdot 2.2}{V}_0-Vright cdot

The chilly, damp climate inhibits the complete decomposition of plant matter and permits the accumulation of deep peat deposits.
