Microbial communities in litter and soil are the functional link through which the tree species
occupying a site may alter rates of soil processes fundamental to nutrient cycling and carbon …

Natural disturbance emulation (NDE) has been proposed as a general approach to
ecologically sustainable forest management. We reviewed the concepts, theories, and …

Abstract The North American Project to Evaluate Soil Health Measurements was initiated
with the objective to identify widely applicable soil health measurements for evaluation of …

Forest ecosystems have integral roles in climate stability, biodiversity and economic
development. Soil stewardship is essential for sustainable forest management. Organic …

Climate warming is likely to increase the frequency and severity of forest disturbances, with
uncertain consequences for soil microbial communities and their contribution to ecosystem …

Phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) are key components of microbial cell membranes. The
analysis of PLFAs extracted from soils can provide information about the overall structure of …

Our aim was to determine whether the smaller biomasses generally found in low pH
compared to high pH arable soils under similar management are due principally to the …

Soil microbes play a key role in controlling ecosystem functions and providing ecosystem
services. Yet, microbial communities in urban green space soils remain poorly …

Forest nitrogen (N) retention and soil carbon (C) storage are influenced by tree species and
their associated soil microbial communities. As global change factors alter forest …

Disturbances caused by timber harvesting have critical long‐term effects on the forest soil
microbiota and alter fundamental ecosystem services provided by these communities. This …
