摘      要：Plant litter decomposition varies depending on species and environmental conditions. The decomposition rates of plant litter were monitored for two common types of vegetation (Phragmites australis and Cattails) in the Dambovita River to determine the proportion of labile and recalcitrant fractions of the decomposition. Biological control of decomposition was witnessed through home-field advantage, in which decomposition in aquatic environments was applied through the litter bags that were submerged in-situ. The study showed that the magnitude of fraction-specific from decomposition rates was considerably higher in the first stage, followed by a decreasing trend of the labile fraction for both species. © 2024, Politechnica University of Bucharest.
