Global Litter Decomposition Initiative

The TeaComposition initiative is a global study on litter decomposition that uses 2 types of Lipton tea bags as a common biological matrix to compare short- and long-term carbon dynamics across multiple sites and experiments. The tea bag approach is implemented within a range of global ecosystem studies such as LTER, GLORIA and ClimMani.
