Nutrient dynamics during decomposition Forests sequester atmospheric CO 2 1 Nitrogen and phosphorus limit this process 2-4 How does net mineralization of N and P vary? 5,6 Fig. 1. Nutrient dynamics during decomposition Compiled data from 78 separate studies (Fig. 2), 372 litterbag series (170 tropical, 202 temperate) and 1308 total observations of N and P mineralization (691 tropical, 617 temperate) MAT range: ºC; MAP range: 173 – 5050 mm Fig. 4. Locations of compiled leaf litter nutrient mineralization data Calculated mineralization in 2 ways to understand short and long-term controls on mineralization 1. Mineralization from initial = X t -X 0 (longer-term) 2. Incremental mineralization = X t -X t-1 (short-term) X i is the mass of N or P in the litterbag at any time i in the series Compiled data from 78 separate studies (Fig. 2), 372 litterbag series (170 tropical, 202 temperate) and 1308 total observations of N and P mineralization (691 tropical, 617 temperate) MAT range: ºC; MAP range: 173 – 5050 mm Fig. 4.

Frequency distribution of the anomaly from perfect substrate- dependence Conclusion: Decomposers can alter N/P during decomposition; deviations tend towards a lower N/P of mineralization vs. litter (~70% of data points) Fig. 7. Relationship between N/P of mineralization and decomposers (tropical: R 2 =0.41; n=170; p<0.001; temperate: R 2 =0.41; n=202; p<0.001) Conclusion: Temperate N/P mineralization < decomposer N/P < tropical N/P mineralization Fig. 5. Relationship between mineralization and litter N/P calculated from (a) initial (Slope = 1.2, R 2 =0.31, n=372) and (b) incremental litter (slope = 0.9, R 2 =0.45, n=270) Conclusion: Strong coherence in N/P stoichiometry of leaf litter and mineralization Potential head-to-head competition between plants and microbes (via resorption and immobilization) Similarities between terrestrial and oceanic environments: in general, organism N/P matches resupply N/P ; deviations tend towards lower N/P mineralization than substrate Globally coherent patterns can be incorporated into ecosystem models to improve predictions of global change 18 Potential head-to-head competition between plants and microbes (via resorption and immobilization) Similarities between terrestrial and oceanic environments: in general, organism N/P matches resupply N/P ; deviations tend towards lower N/P mineralization than substrate Globally coherent patterns can be incorporated into ecosystem models to improve predictions of global change 18 Litterbag Experiments Acknowledgements: Joy Cookingham, Sara Enders, David Gonzalez, Tiff van Huysen, Jorge Izquierdo, Derrick Light, Daniel Liptzin, Kimberley Miller, Scott Morford, and Robert Norton for help compiling data and discussions; and the Andrew W.

Results & Conclusions Implications Nitrogen/phosphorus mineralization ratios across forests worldwide Alison R. Marklein* and Benjamin Z. Houlton (B13B-0491) Ecology Graduate Group at the University of California, Davis Question: Do microbes alter the N/P of mineralization along the litter-decay continuum in forests? Methods: Meta-analysis of litterbag experiments across global forests Results : Net mineralization N/P matches litter N/P; deviations tend to have lower N/P of mineralization than substrates. In the tropics, P is scarce relative to microbial decomposer stoichiometry; the converse is true in temperate forests Implications: Potential head-to-head competition for nutrients between plants and microbes; consistencies between average terrestrial and oceanic environments; potential improvements for nutrient mineralization dynamics in ecosystem models Question: Do microbes alter the N/P of mineralization along the litter-decay continuum in forests?
