Seasonal Variability May Affect Microbial Decomposers and Leaf Decomposition More Than Warming in Streams

Ongoing climate change is expected to affect the diversity and activity of aquatic microbes, which play a key role in plant litter decomposition in forest streams. We used a before-after control-impact (BACI) design to study the effects of warming on a forest stream reach. The stream reach was divid...
