Soil Microbial Community and Litter Quality Controls on Decomposition Across a Tropical Forest Disturbance Gradient

Soil Microbial Community and Litter Quality Controls on Decomposition Across a Tropical Forest Disturbance Gradient

Industrial logging and agricultural expansion are driving rapid transformations of tropical ecosystems, modifying patterns in above-ground plant and below-ground microbial communities. However, the extent to which these changes in biodiversity drive modifications of ecosystem process rates such as l...
