Functionally or phylogenetically distinct neighbors turn antagonism among decomposing litter species into synergy
Original language description
We found both distinct synergism and antagonism with an overall average of 8% synergism - surprisingly this synergy was particularly strong within functionally similar litter mixtures. Dissimilarity within plant neighborhood and between plant neighborhood and litter mixture was at least as important as dissimilarity within litter mixture, but they favored synergy. Specifically, phylogenetic distance within plant neighborhood and functional dissimilarity between plant neighborhood and litter mixture increased synergy. Our results suggest that litter decomposition is synergistic if decomposing species provide similar resources but the ambient neighborhood complementary resources. Overall, increasing local species diversity from one to two fosters decomposition but only in phylogenetically diversified and functionally distinct vegetation matrix, possibly explaining why such vegetation is maintained.
