Properties of soil pore space regulate pathways of plant residue decomposition and community structure of associated bacteria
- GLBRC - Michigan State University
The goal of this study is to explore interactions between plant detritus and the micro-scale characteristics of physical micro-environments, that is, soil pores, and their influence on decomposition, on CO2 emission, and on composition of bacterial communities associated with the detritus. The study consisted of a series of soil incubation experiments with samples of contrasting pore characteristics with/without plant residue, accompanied by analyses of soil pores and phylogenetic analysis of microbial communities with rRNA genes via pyrosequencing.
