In this article we reviewed the latest development in the studies on the forest the litter dynamics. Study on the litter dynamics advances with the improvement of research methods. Litter decomposition rate is controlled by both the intrinsic factors such as the chemical and physical properties of litter and by the extrinsic factors i.e. environmental conditions including biotic factors such as the species, abundance and activity of the heterotrophic microbiomes and soil fauna, and abiotic factors such as c...
