Microbial community coalescence and nitrogen cycling in simulated mortality decomposition hotspots

Microbial community coalescence and nitrogen cycling in simulated mortality decomposition hotspots

Abstract Background The pulsed introduction of dead plant and animal material into soils represents one of the primary mechanisms for returning organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) compounds to biogeochemical cycles. Decomposition of animal carcasses provides a high C and N resource that stimulates i...
