Soil nematode functional diversity, successional patterns, and indicator taxa associated with vertebrate decomposition hotspots.
Decomposition of vertebrate remains is a dynamic process that creates localized soil enrichment zones. A growing body of literature has documented effects of vertebrate decomposition on soil pH, electrical conductivity, oxygen levels, nitrogen and carbon speciation, microbial biomass, and microbial...
