Is there a tree economics spectrum of decomposability?

The consistent contrasting decomposability between tree organs across species confirms an important role of plant litter inputs of different organs in forest biogeochemistry and carbon storage. There is also substantial coordination of interspecific trait variation between the finer tree organs. Knowledge about relationships of the TES and decomposability taking interactions with environmental variation into account can help for predicting whole-tree carbon and nutrient turnover as dependent on forest and soil type, even within the same climate zone.
