Phylogenetic conservation of substrate use specialization in leaf litter bacteria.

Environmental change will influence the ecosystem processes regulated by microbial communities, including leaf litter decomposition. To assess how microbial communities and their functioning might respond to increases in temperature, we quantified the distribution of traits related to carbon substra...
