Properties of soil pore space regulate pathways of plant residue decomposition and community structure of associated bacteria
The goal of this study is to explore interactions between plant detritus and the micro-scale characteristics of physical micro-environments, that is, soil pores, and their influence on decomposition, on CO2 emission, and on composition of bacterial communities associated with the detritus. The study consisted of a series of soil incubation experiments with samples of contrasting pore characteristics with/without plant residue, accompanied by analyses of soil pores and phylogenetic analysis of microbial communities with rRNA genes via pyrosequencing.
