Temperate forests across Europe and eastern North America have become denser since the
1950s due to less intensive forest management and global environmental changes such as …

Background The microbial community structure in forest soils is expected to change in
response to global environmental change, such as climate warming and nitrogen …

Understory removal is a common practice in forest plantations, which is aimed at reducing
competition for resources and increasing the productivity of target tree species. Recent …

The response to global change by soil microbes is set to affect important ecosystem
processes. These impacts could be most immediate in transitional zones, such as the …

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is known to alter soil microbial communities, but how
canopy and understory N addition affects soil bacterial and fungal communities in different …

Climate warming will shift the seasonal variation of the soil microbial community and thereby
regulate the soil process dynamics of forest ecosystems. To evaluate the effects of warming …

Soil microbial communities are essential for ensuring forest health, however, the influences
of global change on soil microbial communities and their ecosystem functions remain …

Climate warming could increase rates of soil organic matter turnover and nutrient
mineralization, particularly in northern high‐latitude ecosystems. However, the effects of …

We examined the effects of simultaneous warming and N additions on soil microbial
biomass and community composition and assessed how the microbial community varied …

Understory removal and/or nitrogen fertilization are important forest management practices
in forest plantations. Relative to overstory vegetation, understory vegetation is overlooked in …
