Climate, litter quality and radiation duration jointly regulate the net effect of UV radiation on litter decomposition

Photodegradation via ultraviolet (UV) radiation is an important factor driving plant litter decomposition. Despite increasing attention to the role of UV photodegradation in litter decomposition, the specific impact of UV radiation on the plant litter decomposition stage within biogeochemical cycles remains unclear at regional and global scales. To clarify the variation rules of magnitude of UV effect on plant litter decomposition and their regulatory factors, we conducted a meta-analysis based on 54 published papers. Our results indicated that UV significantly promoted the mass loss of litter by facilitating decay of carbonaceous fractions and release of nitrogen and phosphorus. The promotion effect varied linearly or non-linearly with the time that litter exposed to UV, and with climatic factors. The UV effect on litter decomposition decreased first than increased on precipitation and temperature gradients, reaching its minimum in the area with a precipitation of 400-600 mm, and a temperature of 15-20 °C. This trend might be attributed to a potential equilibrium between the photofacilitation and photo-inhibition effects of UV under this condition. This variation in UV effect on precipitation gradient was in agreement with the fact that UV photodegradation effect was weakest in grassland ecosystems compared to that in forest and desert ecosystems. In addition, initial litter quality significantly influenced the magnitude of UV effect, but had no influence on the correlation between UV effect and climate gradient. Litter with lower initial nitrogen and lignin content shown a greater photodegradation effect, whereas those with higher hemicellulose and cellulose content had a greater photodegradation effect. Our study provides a comprehensive understanding of photodegradation effect on plant litter decomposition, indicates potentially substantial impacts of global enhancements of litter decomposition by UV, and highlights the necessity to quantify the contribution of photochemical minerallization pathway and microbial degradation pathway in litter decomposition.
