Seasonality as a driving factor of decomposition pathways in both meadows and forests : an exploration across a gradient of climate in Oregon

Creator:

Colby, Samantha E.

Abstract:

Soil food webs process the majority of terrestrial carbon, and influence overall ecosystem function. A primary distinction among soil food webs is based on fungal versus bacterial pathways of decomposition; these lead to fundamentally different soil function, and are expected to differ in dominance between meadows and forests. This assumption...
