Project description:Cellulose is the most abundant component of plant litter, which is critical for terrestrial carbon cycling. Nonetheless, it remains unknown how climate changes affect cellulose-decomposing microorganisms. Here, we carried out a multi-year litterbag experiment to examine cellulose decomposition undergoing +3°C warming in an Oklahoma tallgrass prairie, USA. GeoChip 5.0M was employed to detect microbial functional genes.
