Leaf litter mixtures alter microbial community development: mechanisms for non-additive effects in litter decomposition.
To what extent microbial community composition can explain variability in ecosystem processes remains an open question in ecology. Microbial decomposer communities can change during litter decomposition due to biotic interactions and shifting substrate availability. Though relative abundance of deco...
