Abstract (EN) Investigating forest soil biodiversity is essential to increase our understanding
of ecosystem functions, assess potential consequences of global change, and thus optimize …

Forests are essential biomes for global biogeochemical cycles, and belowground
microorganisms have a key role in providing relevant ecosystem services. To predict the …

Depending on their tree species composition, forests recruit different soil microbial
communities. Likewise, the vertical nutrient gradient along soil profiles impacts these …

At the global scale, most forest research on biodiversity focuses on aboveground organisms.
However, understanding the structural associations between aboveground and …

Increasing tree species diversity in forests might contribute to ecosystem-service
maintenance, as well as to the reconciliation of regulating, provisioning and supporting …

Due to land use history, most of the current temperate and boreal forests are developed on
nutrient-poor and rocky soils, keeping fertile soils for agriculture. Consequently, the …

The complex interactions between trees and soil microbes in forests as well as their inherent
seasonal and spatial variations are poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed the effects …

Current studies show that multispecies forests are beneficial regarding biodiversity and
ecosystem functionality. However, there are only little efforts to understand the ecological …

Abstract Knowledge about the effects of tree species on the soil environment is crucial for
implementation of sustainable forest management. The aim of our study was thus to …

Aims The phyllosphere and soil are crucial and distinct microbial spheres in forests,
connected through trees that interact with both. As part of the tree's holobiont, these …
