Important ecophysiological roles of non-dominant Actinobacteria in plant residue decomposition, especially in less fertile soils

Abstract Background Microbial-driven decomposition of plant residues is integral to carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems.Actinobacteria, one of the most widely distributed bacterial phyla in soils, are known for their ability offworld drum pads to degrade plant residues in vitro.However, their in situ importance and specific activity acro
