Sad news: Lipton is not producing the indonesian sencha anymore. If you want a measure of mass loss using a standardised material, we would recommend Japanese sencha (EAN 5063 2701 01797), but please do *NOT* calculate k and S with this tea.

Our paper is out! Read all about global decomposition patterns!

Based on empirical litter decomposition data obtained at an unprecedented spatial scale, we demonstrate that initial mass-loss rates and later stabilization of litter-derived carbon can be decouple...

2023 was the warmest year on record globally by a large margin. Another dark red stripe gets added, though I think I need a new colour. #ShowYourStripes

It's 18 years to the day that I moved to Reading for my 1st degree @UniofReading, and I was 18 years old. Now half a lifetime later I've just given my first lecture in my new job with @UniRdg_GES!

Lind et al., 2022 gave us an interesting perspective on our method so we wrote a reply. Hope it inspires you too.

We believe that correcting for leaching in (terrestrial) litterbags studies such as the Tea Bag Index will result in more uncertainties than it resolves. This is mainly because leaching occurs in...

Hello UK #farmers We @SHOWCASE_H2020 are running a survey to learn how #sustainable #farming practices can be integrated into farm business (eg. where you would plant margins) If you're a farmer or land manager, pls help us learn more🪲🪱🌾 https://t.co/WNFAK6kLM7 or QR below

In the keynote, François-Xavier will discuss how the relative importance of decomposition drivers depends on the choice of decomposing material, and explore the role of soil animals on decomposition beyond their contribution to litter mass loss in litterbags. Register to join!
