Background:
Primary succession is predicted to proceed through shifts from stress-tolerant to competitive to cooperative ecological strategies as resource availability increases, yet molecular evidence for these transitions in microbial systems remains limited. Here, we used an integrated m...
AIM: Low-molecular-weight organic substances (LMWOSs) are at the nexus between micro-organisms, plant roots, detritus and the soil mineral matrix. The nominal oxidation state of carbon (NOSC) has been suggested as a potential parameter for modelling microbial uptake rates of LMWO...
