The effects of temperature on lignin decomposition pathways and potential microbial decomposers. a Lignin decomposition pathways under different temperatures (see Fig. S5a). The changes of normalized gene abundances in total RNA across three treatments were showed by heatmap. ALDEx2 test was used to determine the significant difference of abundances among three temperature treatments (*P < 0.05). b Taxonomic compositions of lignin-decomposing genes. The reference genes of these steps were listed in Table S3
