Abstract
Decomposition of leaf litter and its incorporation into the mineral soil are key components of the C cycle in forest soils. In a 13C tracer experiment, we quantified the pathways of C from decomposing leaf litter in calcareous soils of a mixed beech forest in the Swiss Jura. Moreover, we assessed how important the cold season is for the decomposition of freshly fallen leaves. The annual C loss from the litter layer of 69–77% resulted mainly from the C mineralization (29–34% of the initial litter C) and from the transfer of litter mate
