The article offers information on how latitude dictates plant diversity effects on instream decomposition. It mentions that running waters contribute substantially to global carbon fluxes through decomposition of terrestrial plant litter by aquatic microorganisms and detritivores. It discusses the consequences of the latitudinal pattern indicates that loss of plant functional diversity.
