Terrestrial plants including forest trees are generally known to live in close association with
microbial organisms. The inherent features of this close association can be commensalism …

Fungi are dominant ecological participants in the forest ecosystems, which play a major role
in recycling organic matter and channeling nutrients across trophic levels. Fungal …

Bacteria are the most abundant microbes in soil and play an important role in the carbon
and nitrogen cycles. Currently, China has become the country with the second largest …

Soil microorganisms play key roles in biogeochemical cycling in forest ecosystems.
However, whether the responses of microbial community with stand development differed in …

Nickel (Ni) contamination imposes deleterious effects on the stability of soil ecosystem. Soil
fungal community as a crucial moderator of soil remediation and biochemical processes has …

Soil biodiversity loss due to pollution may affect ecosystem services negatively. This
environmental problem may be solved by phytoremediation, which is an effective strategy to …

Soil microbes regulate the storage of carbon (C) in peatlands, which is facilitated by
nutrients. To date, few researchers have examined the spatial distribution of soil microbial …

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

Peatlands are major carbon sinks globally, but it is still unclear what drives their shift from
functioning as carbon sink to a source. Fungi rely on soil carbon inputs and play an active …

Forest succession is important for sustainable forest management in terrestrial ecosystems.
However, knowledge about the response of soil microbes to forest disease-driven …
