Principal Investigator

Marie Kroeger

Project type

FICUS Research

Microbially-driven surface litter decomposition is an important terrestrial ecosystem process creating soil organic carbon that serves as an essential carbon sink. Climate change projections show…

Does microbial consumption of plant litter produce diverse pools of dissolved organic matter?

Lead Institution

Cornell University

Principal Investigator

Johannes Lehmann

Project type

Exploratory Research

Microbial consumption and transformation of plant litter is becoming a widely recognized control on soil organic matter (SOM) persistence. Although the reasons for the increased resiliency of…
