Larger phylogenetic distances in litter mixtures: lower microbial biomass and higher C/N ratios but equal mass loss

Phylogenetic distances of coexisting species differ greatly within plant communities, but their consequences for decomposers and decomposition remain unknown. We hypothesized that large phylogenetic distance of leaf litter mixtures increases differences of their litter traits, which may, in turn, re...
