Understanding the biodiversity effects on community and ecosystem processes is crucial in the face of growing extinction rates and shifts in natural ecosystems. Diversity can influence the consumption of resources governing ecosystem processes through two main mechanisms: (i) complementary properties of species, including niche partitioning and facilitation and (ii) strong dominant species effects on the function of interest (selection effect). Detritus of organic matter (e.g. dead leaves) are the base of primary production in many ecosystems. Detritus functional traits may alter the environment and influence the composition and structure of the associated community, as well as ecosystem functioning. Thus, we investigated if detritus divers...
