For spruce, increasing C concentrations with ongoing decomposition were also observed in other studies (Kahl 2003; Bütler et al. 2007).

We observed an increase in nutrient concentrations with ongoing decomposition for most elements, except for K which decreased in beech and pine and remained more or less constant in spruce.

The increase in N/P ratios with ongoing decomposition might indicate that either more N than P is imported into logs, either through N in the canopy through fall, through N fixation (e.g. Hoppe et al. 2014), or through fungal mycelia, or that more P than N is exported from logs.
