Microbial Community and Functional Gene Changes in Arctic Tundra Soils in a Microcosm Warming Experiment

Microbial Community and Functional Gene Changes in Arctic Tundra Soils in a Microcosm Warming Experiment

Microbial decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC) in thawing Arctic permafrost is important in determining greenhouse gas feedbacks of tundra ecosystems to climate. However, the changes in microbial community structure during SOC decomposition are poorly known. Here we examine these changes using...
