Abstract
⺠Litter mixtures of the same functional group have synergistic effects on mass loss. ⺠Litter mixtures of different functional groups have antagonistic effects on mass loss. ⺠All mixtures have synergistic effects on N immobilization and improve N conservation in the system. ⺠Quercus mixtures avoid Mn losses into the surrounding soil. ⺠Cistus litter is a Mn sink but in mixture lignin loss is not enhanced likely due to allelopathic effects.
