The effects of high-tannin leaf litter from transgenic poplars on microbial communities in microcosm soils.

The effects of high-tannin leaf litter from transgenic poplars on microbial communities in microcosm soils.

The impacts of leaf litter from genetically-modified hybrid poplar accumulating high levels of condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins) were examined in soil microcosms consisting of moss growing on sieved soil. Moss preferentially proliferated in microcosms with lower tannin content; DGGE detected in...
