Introduction Logging impacts millions of hectares of forests globally every year, and not only
affects tree cover, but also disrupts below-ground soil communities that are essential for …

The effects of logging on forest ecosystems are severe and long-lasting. In addition, these
effects are often paralleled with shifts in soil fungal community composition and functional …

Key message Metabarcoding analysis of soil fungal communities in French mountain forests
revealed that harvesting intensity, time since last harvest and former land use had no effect …

Temperate forests are increasingly subject to natural disturbance by stand replacing
windthrows or bark-beetle attacks. Forests are commonly salvage logged after disturbance …

Soil fungi are crucial drivers of log decomposition in forest ecosystems, but how soil fungal
community composition varies during the process of log decomposition remains poorly …

Changes in biodiversity might alter decomposition processes and, consequently, carbon
and nutrient cycling. We examined fungal diversity and density loss in experimental Norway …

Community assembly processes do not only influence community structure, but can also
affect ecosystem processes. To understand the effect of initial community development on …

Our understanding of the long‐lasting effects of human land use on soil fungal communities
in tropical forests is limited. Yet, over 70% of all remaining tropical forests are growing in …

As the E arth's biota enters the sixth great mass extinction event recorded in the history of the
planet, it is predicted that the erosion of biodiversity will result in the reduction of the goods …

Background Large-diameter trees have an outsized influence on aboveground forest
dynamics, composition, and structure. Although their influence on aboveground processes is …
