Modulation of Litter Decomposition by the Soil Microbial Food Web Under Influence of Land Use Change

Modulation of Litter Decomposition by the Soil Microbial Food Web Under Influence of Land Use Change

Soil microbial communities modulate soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics by catalyzing litter decomposition. However, our understanding of how litter-derived carbon (C) flows through the microbial portion of the soil food web is far from comprehensive. This information is necessary to facilitate relia...
