- •
Litter decomposed with warming, moss/shrub removal along a successional gradient.
- •
Litter decomposition was driven by moss/shrub removal and litter species identity.
- •
Warming rarely interacted with successional stage and litter species identity.
- •
Warming/its indirect effects on understory vegetation will affect decomposition.
- •
Changes to decomposition will likely alter C storage and nutrient cycling.
