Microbial lineages linked to decomposition outcomes across multiple litter types

Project goals: Determine which bacterial and fungal community members are consistently important to carbon fate in soils during the decomposition of leaf litter. This work was undertaken as part of the LANL Genomic Science SFA, which aims to inform carbon modeling and enable carbon management in terrestrial ecosystems.
