Bacterial Diversity of Decomposing Leaf Litters of Polyalthia longifolia (Sonner.) Thw. and Rhododendron arboreum Sm. Under Natural Condition
Abstract: The role of microorganisms in the decomposition of plant material is of immense importance. A large amount of plant litter is added annually to the soil through leaf fall and death of plants. As the plant materials fall on the ground, they are immediately attacked by various groups of soil microorganisms and soon after, the process of decomposition is initiated. Microorganisms being heterotrophic in their mode of nutrition are responsible …
