Abstract
⺠Multiple drivers of decomposition studied simultaneously in a temperate woodland. ⺠Proximity to forest edge reduces leaf litter decomposition rate. ⺠Watering treatment shows that decomposition is moisture-limited. ⺠Soil macrofauna play a significant role in leaf litter decomposition. ⺠Macrofauna effects on decomposition are strongest for recalcitrant litter species.
