To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
196 Rates of decomposition for the grass Molinia caerulea , in a temperate forest are 30% the first year and 40% thereafter (Bell, 1974). Rates for grasses in Florida are not known to this investigator. P. elliottii takes about three years to decompose to the state of being unrecognized as pine needles (Pritchett, 1976) . Panicum anceps is a highly digestible range grass (55% in vitro digestibility in the spring, Table E.I.), a 59% loss in 292 days does not appear to be out of line, considering... the warm humid conditions that exist in Florida. The difference noted between the two types of bags was opposite to that expected. It was believed that by opening the bags on one end, insects would have been able to enter, and their effects noted. Apparently, the open bags resulted in a less preferred micro-climate for the decomposer organisms, and this resulted in the effects noted. It would appear that the use of green nylon bags is not to be recommended for litter decomposition studies. All of the bagged fecal material had been destroyed or disturbed by some animal, and slightly less than half of the P.
