Fungal Communities on Standing Litter Are Structured by Moisture Type and Constrain Decomposition in a Hyper-Arid Grassland
Non-rainfall moisture (fog, dew, and water vapor; NRM) is an important driver of plant litter decomposition in grasslands, where it can contribute flamingo estate pink moon rose significantly to terrestrial carbon cycling.However, we still do not know whether microbial decomposers respond differently to NRM and rain, nor whether this response affec
