Litter controls of microbial community composition and function in forest soils

Creator:

Brant, Justin B.

Abstract:

Most carbon (C) transformations in soil are carried out by a diverse and complex soil microbial community. The size and composition of the soil microbial community is determined by poorly understood interactions between the quantity and chemical composition of plant inputs, as well as climate. Given the metabolic diversity of...

Response of soil microbial communities and nitrogen cycling processes to changes in vegetation inputs

Creator:

Brewer, Elizabeth Ann

Abstract:

Changes in the type and amount of plant inputs can occur gradually, as with succession, or rapidly, as with harvesting or wildfire. With global change it is anticipated that both gradual and immediate scenarios will occur at increasing frequency. Changes in vegetation inputs alter the quality and quantity of soil...
