The microbial decomposers of litter organic components are selective toward diVerent compounds, which results in clear patterns in chemical changes in the course of litter decomposition. Each such pattern may be related to the initial chemical composition of a given litter type. In this chapter, we describe detailed chemical changes for Scots pine needle litter as a case study and, in applicable parts, we also present data from other boreal and temperate species.
