Litter decomposition affected by climate and litter quality-Testing the Yasso model with litterbag data from the Canadian intersite decomposition experiment

We conclude that the model Yasso accounts for most of the effects of climate and initial litter quality on the decomposition of a range of foliage litter types under varying climate conditions. Recalibration of the reference decomposition rates used in the model may improve the accuracy when applying the model outside of Europe.
