Coarse litter flux per unit mass/surface area calculationFor coarse litter CO 2 efflux measurements we need CO 2 efflux units per unit dry mass rather than per unitground/stem. To calculate CO 2 efflux per unit litter dry mass (R lm , g CO 2 /h per kg litter dry mass) and surfacearea (R la , g CO 2 /h per m 2 litter surface area) use the following:RRlmla1= Rc∗ ∗ LA1= Rc∗ ∗ LaAmWhere L m and L a are litter dry mass (kg) and surface area (m 2 ) respectively. For equations for estimating R la fordecomposing litter <strong>of</strong> various shapes see Harmon et al. (1999).78
