Novel Chemical Routes for Carbon Dioxide and Methane Production from Lignin Photodegradation: The Role of Environmental Free Radicals

Sunlight irradiation significantly mediates plant litter’s carbon dynamics and volatile carbon release in semi-arid and arid ecosystems. In this process, carbon loss is controlled by lignin, but the mechanisms of production of CO2 and CH4 during lignin photolysis are ambiguous. In this study, the ph...
