Background In forest ecosystems, biological decomposition of deadwood components plays
a pivotal role in nutrient cycling and in carbon storage by enriching soils with organic matter …

Deadwood represents significant carbon (C) stock in a temperate forests. Its decomposition
and C mobilization is accomplished by decomposer microorganisms–fungi and bacteria …

Deadwood represents significant carbon (C) stock in a temperate forests. Its decomposition
and C mobilization is accomplished by decomposer microorganisms–fungi and bacteria …

Deadwood is a hotspot of microbial diversity and its decomposition contributes to carbon
and nitrogen cycling in temperate forests. The historically recognized importance of fungi in …

Deadwood decomposition is responsible for a significant amount of carbon (C) turnover in
natural forests. While fresh deadwood contains mainly plant compounds and is extremely …

Because they comprise some of the most efficient wood‐decayers, Polyporales fungi impact
carbon cycling in forest environment. Despite continuous discoveries on the enzymatic …

Archaea have been reported from deadwood of a few different tree species in temperate and
boreal forest ecosystems in the past. However, while one of their functions is well linked to …

This study describes the composition and metabolic potential of a lignocellulosic biomass
degrading community that decays poplar wood chips under anaerobic conditions. We …

Forests accumulate and store large amounts of carbon (C), and a substantial fraction of this
stock is contained in deadwood. This transient pool is subject to decomposition by …

Deadwood represents an important structural component of forest ecosystems, where it
provides diverse niches for saproxylic biota. Although wood‐inhabiting prokaryotes are …
