%OM Quality  \subsection{Organic Matter Quality}  In the litter experiment S\textsubscript{R} ranged between 0.81 and 1.48 over the course of the experiment with a mean ($\pm$ SD) of 1.06 ($\pm$ 0.10). The linear mixed model found that there was a significant effect of the presence of leaf litter on S\textsubscript{R} but this effect was not consistent throughout the incubation as indicated by a significant interaction between leaf litter and incubation days (Table \ref{tab:spec_stats). Evaluation of the results shows that the bottles containing leaf litter had a greater S\textsubscript{R} on the initial day of the incubation but after this, there was no difference in S\textsubscript{R} among the bottles (Fig. \ref{fig:sratio_day}).
