Decomposition of wood, petiole and leaf litter by Xylaria species from northern Thailand

Ten Xylaria isolates (five obtained from wood and five from leaf litter) collected in northern Thailand were tested for their ability to decompose 13 types of wood, petiole, and lamina from seven tropical tree species under pure culture conditions. The mass loss of the 13 substratum types caused by...

The values of mass loss in wood in the present study were in the same range as those reported for other Xylaria isolates in previous studies, whereas the mass losses in leaf litter were generally higher than those of previous results, which is partly due to the relatively low lignin contents in leaf litter used in the present study. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd and The British Mycological Society. 2018-09-04T04:04:23Z 2018-09-04T04:04:23Z 2011-06-01 Journal 17545048 2-s2.0-79953025374 10.1016/j.funeco.2010.11.003 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=79953025374&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/49599
