Title
Fungi rather than bacteria explain home‐field advantage for decomposition of litter carbon fractions

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect HFA significantly accelerated loss of total litter mass and individual C fractions relative to away sites.
- Intervention effect HFA had particularly strong effects on loss of the recalcitrant lignin fraction.
- Association Microbial community dissimilarity between home and away sites was negatively correlated with lignin loss.
- Association Specific bacterial taxa suppressed litter decomposition.
