New and traditional analytical techniques.- Climatic environment.- Decomposition of fine root and woody litter.- Models that describe litter decomposition.- Some possible influences on decomposition pattern, regression model, stable fraction and C sequestration.- Does humus accumulate and where? What factors may influence? Estimating carbon sequestration rates on a regional scale. _g _r _t
