Abstract
⺠We measure decomposition rates of two grass species along a semi-arid ecocline. ⺠Increasing elevation was correlated with rate of decomposition. ⺠Cooler, wetter sites had higher rates of decomposition than hotter, drier. ⺠Litter quality (C:N and %N) did not affect decomposition rate. ⺠There was no 'home-field' advantage with regard to decomposition rate.
