Abstract: Nutrients constrain the soil carbon cycle in tropical forests, but we lack knowledge on how these constraints vary within the soil microbial community. Here, we used in situ fertilization in a montane tropical forest and… read more here.

Abstract: All living organisms have theoretically an optimal stoichiometric nitrogen: phosphorus (N: P) ratio below and beyond which their growth is affected but data remain scarce for microbial decomposers. Here, we evaluated optimal N: P ratios… read more here.
