Nutrient and Rainfall Additions Shift Phylogenetically Estimated Traits of Soil Microbial Communities

Microbial traits related to ecological responses and functions could provide a common currency facilitating synthesis and prediction; however, such traits are difficult to measure directly for all taxa in environmental samples. Past efforts to estimate trait values based on phylogenetic relationship...
