(A)synchronous availabilities of N and P regulate the activity and structure of the microbial decomposer community

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability both control microbial decomposers and litter decomposition. However, these two key nutrients show distinct release patterns from decomposing litter and are unlikely available at the same time in most ecosystems. Little is known about how temporal differe...
