Although spatial and temporal variation are both important components structuring microbial
communities, the exact quantification of temporal turnover rates of fungi and bacteria has not …

Dead wood represents an important pool of organic matter in forests and is one of the
sources of soil formation. It has been shown to harbour diverse communities of bacteria, but …

Soil ecosystems harbor diverse microorganisms and yet remain only partially characterized
as neither single-cell sequencing nor whole-community sequencing offers a complete …

This study investigated the potential role of a nitrogen-fixing early-coloniser Alnus
Nepalensis D. Don (alder) in driving the changes in soil bacterial communities during …

Revealing the role of keystone taxa in maintaining community structure and driving soil
properties is crucial for estimating agri-soil quality and microbial function. However, it is still …

Cistus scrublands are pyrophytic ecosystems and occur widely across Mediterranean
regions. Management of these scrublands is critical to prevent major disturbances, such as …

Temperate coniferous forests sustain the highest levels of biomass of all terrestrial
ecosystems and belong to the major carbon sinks on Earth. However, the community …

Carbon sequestration is a key soil function, and an increase in soil organic carbon (SOC) is
an indicator of ecosystem recovery because it underpins other ecosystem services by acting …

Amplicon-based analysis of 16S rRNA genes and transcripts was used to assess the effect
of tree species composition on soil bacterial community structure and function in a temperate …

We assessed the impacts of forest-to-pasture conversion on the dynamic of soil microbial
communities, especially those involved in the N-cycle, and their potential functions, using …
