In the litter experiment and leached litter experiment differences in the mass loss of the leaves in the different treatment levels over the course of the experiment was tested using ANOVA. Changes in the percent C and percent N of the leaves in the different treatment levels of the litter and leached litter experiments was assessed with Kruskal Wallace rank sum tests, however the changes in leaf C and N mass among treatments in the leached litter experiment were assesses with ANOVA. In the litter experiment, the difference between the area-normalized ergosterol mass of the leaves and the surface sediments was tested with a Kruskal Wallace rank sum test.  The effect of days of incubation, and treatment levels on SOD (litter SOD, dissolved oxygen concentration in the overlying water, and S\textsubscript{R} in the litter  and leached litter SOD experiments), experiments, as well as,  nutrient flux (litter experiment), and S\textsubscript{R} (litter and leached in the  litter experiments) experiment  was assessed with a linear mixed models using the lme4 package \cite{lme4} in R. All statistical analysis was performed using R \cite{R}
