Dissipation of added CH3Cl in microcosms of forest compartments. First order rate constants [k] of CH3Cl-amended microcosms of Steigerwald forest sampled on 20 August 2013 (circles) and on 12 July 2016 (diamonds). a Leaf litter (2013, k = 2.35 h−1; 2016, k = 0.19 h−1); b Of horizon (2013, k = 3.04 h−1; 2016, k = 2.42 h −1); c Ah horizon (2013, k = 6.93 h−1; 2016, k = 2.00 h−1); d B horizon (2016, k = 2.72); e fresh beech leaves (2013, k = 2.76 h−1; 2016, k = 0.06 h−1). Control experiments without amendment (triangles) or including KCN on top of CH3Cl to inhibit biological activity (squares) were also performed. B horizon was only measured in 2016
