Extracellular enzyme activity and stoichiometry: The effect of soil microbial element limitation during leaf litter decomposition
To explore carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) dynamics during leaf litter decomposition, we investigated the temporal variability of soil microbial biomass and associated soil enzyme activities. Our 342-day leaf litter (Quercus wutaishanica) decomposition experiment at the Loess Plateau (C...
