mineral horizons occur similarly in both ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizal forests. …

… The objective of our study was to determine whether the distributions and compositions of
N-cycling microbial communities changed with depth in subtropical and temperate forest soils. …

… Moreover, employing random forest models, we identified microbial indicator taxa of forest …
