Which factor is more important in controlling the mean

Reference no: EM13117930

Which factor is more important in controlling the mean residence times and pools of nutrients in soil organic matter in terrestrial ecosystems, the rate of input (i.e., primary productivity) or the rate of decomposition? Would you expect to find larger nutrient pools in the soils of a tropical forest than in those of a boreal forest, given that primary productivity is higher in the tropics?
