Effects of stoichiometry and temperature perturbations on beech leaf litter decomposition, enzyme activities and protein expression

Microbes are major players in leaf litter decomposition and therefore advances in the understanding of their control on element cycling are of paramount importance. Our aim was to investigate the influence of leaf litter stoichiometry in terms of carbon (C) : nitrogen (N) : phosphorus (P) ratios on...
