Increasing rates of long-term nitrogen deposition consistently increased litter decomposition in a semi-arid grassland

• The continuing nitrogen (N) deposition observed worldwide alters ecosystem nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning. Litter decomposition is a key process contributing to these changes, but the numerous mechanisms for altered decomposition remain poorly identified. • We assessed these different...
