The dataset consists of comprehensive information on litter mass loss, elemental recycling (specifically nitrogen and phosphorus release rates), and associated environmental factors. The data was collected using standardized methods and includes details such as study location coordinates, climatic conditions (temperature and precipitation), ecosystem types (terrestrial and aquatic), study subjects (species identity), litterbag specifics (exclusion method and mesh size), and litter tissue types (woody and non-woody). Missing climatic data were obtained from the WorldClim database. The dataset comprises 1568 sets of pairwise comparisons, with 1060 for plant decomposition, 360 for nitrogen release, and 148 for phosphorus release. This comprehensive dataset serves as a valuable resource for studying litter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and the interplay between environmental factors and decomposition processes., Peer reviewed

Evidence is mounting that vertebrate defaunation greatly impacts global biogeochemical cycling. Yet, there is no comprehensive assessment of the potential vertebrate influence over plant decomposition, despite litter decay being one of the largest global carbon fluxes. We therefore conducted a global meta-analysis to evaluate vertebrate effects on litter mass loss and associated element release across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Here we show that vertebrates affected litter decomposition by various direct and indirect pathways, increasing litter mass loss by 6.7% on average, and up to 34.4% via physical breakdown. This positive vertebrate impact on litter mass loss was consistent across contrasting litter types (woody and non-woody), climatic regions (boreal, temperate and tropical), ecosystem types (aquatic and terrestrial) and vertebrate taxa, but disappeared when evaluating litter nitrogen and phosphorus release. Moreover, we found evidence of interactive effects between vertebrates and non-vertebrate decomposers on litter mass loss, and a larger influence of vertebrates at mid-to-late decomposition stages, contrasting with the invertebrate effect known to be strongest at early decomposition stage. Our synthesis demonstrates a global vertebrate control over litter mass loss, and further stresses the need to account for vertebrates when assessing the impacts of biodiversity loss on biogeochemical cycles., We thank those who contributed to original publications.
