Belowground response to drought in a tropical forest soil. II. Change in microbial function impacts carbon composition.

Belowground response to drought in a tropical forest soil. II. Change in microbial function impacts carbon composition.

Climate model projections for tropical regions show clear perturbation of precipitation patterns leading to increased frequency and severity of drought in some regions. Previous work has shown declining soil moisture to be a strong driver of changes in microbial trait distribution, however the feedb...
