Warming and Reduced Rainfall Alter Fungal Necromass Decomposition Rates and Associated Microbial Community Composition and Functioning at a Temperate–Boreal Forest Ecotone
Changes in temperature and rainfall associated with altered climatic conditions are likely to significantly alter rates of soil organic matter decomposition. To determine how the combined effects of warming and drought impact the decomposition of fungal necromass, a large and fast-cycling portion of the global soil organic carbon (C) pool, we incubated Hyaloscypha bicolor necromass under both ambi
