Carrion decomposition causes large and lasting effects on soil amino acid and peptide flux

Carrion decomposition is a critical component of the biogeochemical cycling of energy and nutrients within the biosphere. Two important and currently overlooked nitrogen (N) pools likely to be affected by carrion are free amino acid (FAA) and peptide pools, which are a newly recognised point of comp...

Zusammenfassung:Carrion decomposition is a critical component of the biogeochemical cycling of energy and nutrients within the biosphere. Two important and currently overlooked nitrogen (N) pools likely to be affected by carrion are free amino acid (FAA) and peptide pools, which are a newly recognised point of competition between plants and microorganisms for the N resource. A carcass addition experiment was established using recently (
