Forest soils harbor hyper-diverse microbial communities which fundamentally regulate
carbon and nutrient cycling across the globe. Directly testing hypotheses on how …

Plant communities strongly influence soil microbial communities and, in turn, soil carbon (C)
cycling. Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is an important parameter for predicting soil C …

Boreal forest soils store a major proportion of the global terrestrial carbon (C) and below‐
ground inputs contribute as much as above‐ground plant litter to the total C stored in the …

More carbon (C) is stored globally in soils than biotic and atmospheric pools combined (Lal,
2004). As such, the biogeochemical processes affecting the amount of C sequestered in soil …

Soil microbes are among the most abundant and diverse organisms on Earth. Although
microbial decomposers, particularly fungi, are important mediators of global carbon and …

Forests are ecosystems critical to understanding the global carbon budget, due to their
carbon sequestration potential in both aboveground and belowground compartments …

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

Bacteria and fungi are core microorganisms in diverse ecosystems, and their cross‐kingdom
interactions are considered key determinants of microbiome structure and ecosystem …

Depending on their tree species composition, forests recruit different soil microbial
communities. Likewise, the vertical nutrient gradient along soil profiles impacts these …

Fungal communities are important for carbon (C) transformations in boreal forests that are
one of the largest C pools in terrestrial ecosystems, warranting thus further investigation of …
