Contribution of Stream Detrivores, Fungi, and Bacteria to Leaf Breakdown Based on Biomass Estimates

Linking species and ecosystems is currently one of the great challenges in ecology. To this end, we assess here the contributions of bacteria, fungi, and detritivorous invertebrates (shredders) to leaf litter breakdown, a key ecosystem-level process. We enclosed alder (Alnus glutinosa) and willow (S...
