Linking soluble C to microbial community composition and dynamics during decomposition of ¹³C-labeled ryegrass

Creator:

McMahon, Shawna K.

Abstract:

Ryegrass residue consists of three main C fractions: readily available soluble C, intermediately available cellulose and hemicellulose, and slowly available lignin. Changes in chemical composition during decomposition influence rate of degradation as well as composition of the microbial community involved. Use of ¹³C-labeled plant material coupled with analysis of phospholipid...
