Abstract
⺠Microbial respiration was higher on maple than Douglas-fir litter (67). ⺠Higher CO2 release from maple than Douglas-fir litter persisted through ingestion (83). ⺠Maple litter was dominated by Gram negative bacteria; Douglas-fir by Gram positive (85). ⺠Microbial community structure in the two litters was homogenized by ingestion (79). ⺠Fragmentation of litter and faecal pellets increased CO2 release (67).
