“…Therefore, multiple biotic and abiotic factors affect the rate of CFWD decomposition. Factors include physical properties of wood such as density and diameter [ 3 , 4 , 9 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]; chemical factors such as concentrations of carbon ([C]) and nitrogen ([N]), C:N ratio, and lignin:N ratio [ 10 , 16 ]; environmental factors such as moisture content and temperature [ 7 , 9 , 13 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]; time since death and decay class [ 8 ]; species, parts, and position of woody debris [ 8 , 29 ]; and fungal species composition [ 30 , 31 ]. Interrelationships between variables have also been observed.…”
