Mycorrhizal fungi have considerable effects on soil carbon (C) storage, as they control the
decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM), by modifying the amount of soil nitrogen (N) …

Rapid increase of global nitrogen (N) deposition has greatly altered carbon cycles and
functioning of forest ecosystems. Previous studies have focused on changes in carbon …

Predicted increases in drought frequency and severity may change soil microbial
functioning. Microbial resistance and recovery to drought depend on plant community …

Aim Changes in climate are likely to have major impacts on benefits (ie, biodiversity and
ecosystem services) supported by trees. Here we explore the extent to which trees can …

While forests' contributions to people are intimately linked to their soil biodiversity, little is
known about how forest soil biodiversity is structured and influenced by forest …

Rising atmospheric CO 2 concentration and global mean temperatures have stimulated
interest in managing terrestrial systems to sequester more carbon and mitigate climate …

Near-natural forest management plays an important role in the maintenance of the long-term
productivity and soil fertility of plantations. We conducted high-throughput absolute …

Diversity patterns and community assembly of soil microorganisms are essential for
understanding soil biodiversity and ecosystem processes. Investigating the impacts of …

In a field trial comprising organic farming and minimum tillage management strategies in
Scheyern, Germany, we evaluated the long-term (21-year) effects of organic farming (use of …

Abstract Grid-based inventories of 1,924 deciduous forests plots in Germany and 4,775 in
Romania were used to investigate tree species composition as affected by browsing and …
