Modulation of litter decomposition by the soil microbial food web under influence of land use change [PDF]

, 2018
Soil microbial communities modulate soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics by catalyzing litter decomposition. However, our understanding of how litter-derived carbon (C) flows through the microbial portion of the soil food web is far from comprehensive ...
