The Role of Volatile Organic Compounds on Soil Microbial Communities and Ecosystem Processes

Soil microorganisms are primarily limited by carbon (C) availability. The majority of C entering belowground food webs comes directly from local flora. Plant derived labile C compounds affect microbial community structure and function, which in turn drive ecosystem function. Research has focused on...
