Abstract
⺠We examine microbial communities on 10 decomposing litters of varying quality. ⺠Initial litter quality controls microbial community composition throughout decomposition. ⺠Contemporaneous litter quality has limited effect on microbial community composition. ⺠Microbial community composition explains decomposition rate late in decomposition.
