Abstract
⺠Using the 13C-TMAH method, we studied lignin decay in field-exposed leaves & needles. ⺠Phenol yield and acid/aldehyde ratio indicated wood rot decay vs. time. ⺠Build up of demethylated lignin from brown rot decay was not found. ⺠The results were compared with those from other methods applied previously. ⺠The long assumed lignin preservation was not found using the CuO & 13C-TMAH methods.
