Alterations in microhabitat can impact litter decomposition by modifying the litter C/N ratio and regulating soil microbial activity
In summary, modifications to the microenvironment influence litter decomposition by altering nutrient release and the composition of soil microbial communities, ultimately affecting ecosystem C and N cycling in arid environments.
