The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake. The labels of y-axes in Fig. 2 should presented unitless. Fig 2. has now been corrected.

Parameter estimates (mean ± SE, n = 6) of the litter mass loss calculated using the approach developed by Keiser et al. (2014) for (a) litter quality index, (b) home-field advantage (HFA) index and (c) functional ability index. Litter quality index relates to the relative ability of each different litter (broadleaf, coniferous and bamboo) to be decomposed by all the decomposer communities used in our study, HFA estimates the interaction between the litter decomposition and the decomposer communities in each forest (broadleaf, coniferous and bamboo), and functional ability quantifes the overall ability of decomposer community. Data from fine-and coarse-mesh litterbags were analysis separately. Positive values mean positive effect, while negative values means negative effect. Estimates that differ significantly from zero are indicated by asterisk (* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001)
