Field notes Set litter, moisture and inoculum for a treatment soil jar. Incubate six days alongside a fixed woody, dry control. Release ≥12 nutrient units while retaining ≥18 carbon units. Microbes accelerate both nutrient release and carbon loss. Very dry or saturated soil slows decomposition. The jars are a teaching model, not measured soil chemistry.
