Microbial Diversity Indexes Can Explain Soil Carbon Dynamics as a Function of Carbon Source.

Mathematical models do not explicitly represent the influence of soil microbial diversity on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics despite recent evidence of relationships between them. The objective of the present study was to statistically investigate relationships between bacterial and fungal divers...
