Winter warming in Alaska accelerates lignin decomposition contributed by Proteobacteria

Abstract Background In a warmer world, microbial decomposition of previously frozen organic carbon (C) is one of the most likely positive climate feedbacks of permafrost regions to the atmosphere. However, mechanistic understanding of microbial mediation on chemically recalcitrant C instability is l...
