Abstract in brief

  • Lignin, a complex plant polymer, influences litter decomposition rates but doesn't always majorly affect soil organic carbon (SOC) levels, indicating a need to consider different soil characteristics.
  • Research across various North American soils shows that lignin decomposition varies significantly and is closely tied to litter decomposition, while SOC decomposition is affected differently.
  • Factors like climate legacy and metal presence play critical roles in lignin decomposition, while SOC decomposition is less influenced by these factors, suggesting that lignin's role in SOC dynamics can differ across ecosystems.
