Background and aims Community dynamics, functions and driving factors of rhizosphere
and bulk soil bacteria during secondary forest succession remain poorly understood in …

In this study, we provide fungal community structure analysis of three contrasting sites in
secondary succession, and try to identify variables that shape fungal community …

The Tibetan Plateau, known as the “Roof of the world”, is the highest plateau on Earth. It is
the origin of major Asian rivers, and hence also called the “Asian Water Tower”. The plateau …

Knowledge of variations in abundant and rare soil microbial communities and interactions
during secondary forest succession is lacking. Soil samples were gathered from different …

Soil fungi can differentially affect plant performance and community dynamics. While fungi
play key roles in driving the plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs) that promote grassland succession …

The soil micro-food web is an important network of belowground trophic relationships and it
participates directly and indirectly in soil ecological processes. In recent decades, the roles …

Soil fungi participate in a variety of forest ecological processes and drive the succession of
degraded forests. However, how the soil fungal community and functional taxa change with …

Protists, as the core component of the soil microbiome, may play an important role in forest
succession by altering soil nutrient cycling and plant performance. However, knowledge of …

Faxon fir (Abies fargesii var. faxoniana) is endemic to the cool and moist subalpine region of
Southwest China, where the occurrence of warmer and drier climate may impose uncertain …

Citrus is vegetatively propagated by grafting for commercial production, and most rootstock
cultivars of citrus have scarce root hairs, thus heavily relying on mutualistic symbiosis with …
