Nitrogen addition, not initial phylogenetic diversity, increases litter decomposition by fungal communities

Fungi play a critical role in the degradation of organic matter. Because different combinations of fungi result in different rates of decomposition, determining how climate change will affect microbial composition and function is fundamental to predicting future environments. Fungal response to glob...
