The application of ecological stoichiometry to plant–microbial–soil organic matter transformations
Elemental stoichiometry constitutes an inherent link between biogeochemistry and the
structure and processes within food webs, and thus is at the core of ecosystem functioning …

Stoichiometric imbalances between terrestrial decomposer communities and their resources: mechanisms and implications of microbial adaptations to their resources
Terrestrial microbial decomposer communities thrive on a wide range of organic matter
types that rarely ever meet their elemental demands. In this review we synthesize the current …
