Plant soil interactions alter carbon cycling in an upland grassland soil

Plant soil interactions alter carbon cycling in an upland grassland soil

Soil carbon (C) storage is dependent upon the complex dynamics of fresh and native organic matter cycling, which are regulated by plant and soil-microbial activities. A fundamental challenge exists to link microbial biodiversity with plant-soil C cycling processes to elucidate the underlying mechani...
