Role of plant rhizosphere across multiple species, grassland management and temperature on microbial communities and long term soil organic matter dynamics

It is increasingly being recognized that the soil microbes can mineralize recalcitrant soil organic matter (SOM) by using the fresh carbon (C) as a source of energy, a process called priming effect (PE). It has been shown mostly in lab incubations that PE can have important consequences for sequestr...
