Abstract excerpt
Microbial communities, coupled with substrate quality and availability, regulate the stock (formation versus mineralization) of soil organic matter (SOM) in terrestrial ecosystems. However, our understanding of how soil microbes interact with contrasting substrates influencing SOM quantity and quality is still very superficial. Here, we used thermodynamic theory principles and Fourier transform ion cyclotron...
