Research Article | Ecological and Evolutionary ScienceLinking Microbial Community Structure to Trait Distributions and Functions Using Salinity as an Environmental FilterUnderstanding the role of ecological communities in maintaining multiple ecosystem processes is a central challenge in ecology. Soil microbial communities perform vital ecosystem functions, such as the decomposition of organic matter to provide plant nutrition. However, despite the functional importance of soil microorganisms, attribution of ecosystem function to particular constituents of the microbial community has been impeded by a...
