A New Method to Correct for Habitat Filtering in Microbial Correlation Networks.

abstract：:Litter decomposition is the key link between material circulation and energy flow in ecosystems, resulting from the activity of resident microbes and various enzymes. This study investigated enzyme activity in litter and associated microbial community characteristics to help clarify the internal mechanisms associated ...
