Fig. 1: Decomposition rate and chemical analysis of wheat straw.

a Mass loss and b decomposition rates (k) of wheat straw under ambient and future climate regimes. c–i Chemical analysis and dynamics of nutrients content of wheat straw over 420 days of decomposition. Values in a given graph (means ± SE, n = 5) labeled with different letters differ significantly (repeated-measured ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni, p < 0.05). Asterisks show significantly different values under climate regimes.
