Implication

Experimental analysis shows temperature affects bacterial diversity and decomposition of forest litter in soil, implying changes in carbon mineralization.

Key Points

Decomposition increased by 1.5- to 2-fold as temperature rose from 2 to 12 °C, indicating significant microbial activity variation.
Microbial community structure was most influenced by temperature, highlighting its role in soil microbiome dynamics.
A 364-day laboratory experiment utilized controlled substrate conditions to assess microbial responses to warming.
Findings emphasize the importance of understanding microbial functional genes linked to soil organic matter.
