Abstract
⺠A new litter decay model is presented with improved climate limiting effects. ⺠Litter quality is assessed without traditional N-based indices. ⺠Model was calibrated by controlled experiments and validated with field data. ⺠Litter decay simulation for 7 species in 3 Mediterranean sites was highly predictive. ⺠Decomposition in Mediterranean region is mostly dependent on water conditions.
