Nitrogen (N) is an important component of the forest soils and plays a pivotal role in the
ecosystem's health, also in broadleaf and Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) forests …

Global vegetation regimes vary in belowground carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics.
However, disentangling large‐scale climatic controls from the effects of intrinsic plant–soil …

Animals interact with and impact ecosystem biogeochemical cycling—processes known as
zoogeochemistry. While the deposition of various animal materials (eg carcasses and …

Fungi contribute to plant mineral nutrition through diverse symbiotic mycorrhizal
associations. Although historically most attention has been put on Glomeromycotina fungi …

Drainage‐induced encroachment by trees may have major effects on the carbon balance of
northern peatlands, and responses of microbial communities are likely to play a central …

Plant mycorrhizal associations influence the accumulation and persistence of soil organic
matter and could therefore shape ecosystem biogeochemical responses to global changes …

Lodgepole pine forests are under threat due to wildfires of increasing severity and frequency
coupled with tree mortality from insect outbreaks. Soil microbial communities, which drive …
