Drought re-routes soil microbial carbon metabolism towards emission of volatile metabolites in an artificial tropical rainforest
Drought impacts on microbial activity can alter soil carbon fate and lead to the loss of stored
carbon to the atmosphere as CO2 and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Here we …
