Anthropogenic N deposition slows decay by favoring bacterial metabolism: Insights from metagenomic analyses
Litter decomposition is an enzymatically-complex process that is mediated by a diverse assemblage of saprophytic microorganisms. It is a globally important biogeochemical process that can be suppressed by anthropogenic N deposition. In a northern hardwood forest ecosystem located in Michigan, USA, 2...
