Abstract
Ferns are an important plant group, and older phylogenies of non-polypod ferns contain relatively high concentrations of aliphatic leaf waxes, lignins, and tannins that could contribute to soil organic matter (SOM) biochemistry and stability. Pyrolysis gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry (py-GC/MS) analyzes biochemical fragments which can be related to lignin, polysaccharide, lipid, nitrogen (N)-bearing, non-lignin aromatics, and phenol source...
