Preliminary Study on Water Bodies’ Effects on the Decomposition Rate of Goldenrod Litter

Leaf-litter input constitutes a major load in natural waters; therefore, to achieve and maintain high water quality, it is important to thoroughly examine and understand the litter decomposition process. The widespread <i>Solidago canadensis</i> exerts a negative effect on the compositio...
