To determine differences in water content, pH, and salt concentration between urban and periurban decomposition sites, soil cores were taken at all decomposition sites at six dates during the course of the litterbag experiment.
Mean temperatures, water contents, pH, and electrical conductivities measured at urban and periurban decomposition sites were tested for significant differences via t-tests.
No significant difference in mass loss between periurban and urban decomposition sites and no significant correlation of mass loss to measured environmental parameters were found.
While all decomposition sites included litterbags of all five species of both origins, the individual tree at the decomposition site naturally belonged to only one of the species.
Further, the study (2) examines direct influences of decomposition sites (urban vs. periurban) on mass loss by comparing decomposition at urban and periurban sites including field measurements of the site conditions.
And in accordance to results at urban and periurban decomposition sites, litter of urban origin decomposed faster than litter of periurban origin (94% ± 1% and 92% ± 1% mass loss, respectively, p ≤ 0.05) (Figure 4a).
