Logging impacts millions of hectares of forests globally every year, and not only affects tree
cover, but also disrupts below-ground soil communities that are essential for forest …

The effects of logging on forest ecosystems are severe and long-lasting. In addition, these
effects are often paralleled with shifts in soil fungal community composition and functional …

Key message Metabarcoding analysis of soil fungal communities in French mountain forests
revealed that harvesting intensity, time since last harvest and former land use had no effect …

Temperate forests are increasingly subject to natural disturbance by stand replacing
windthrows or bark-beetle attacks. Forests are commonly salvage logged after disturbance …

Soil fungi are crucial drivers of log decomposition in forest ecosystems, but how soil fungal
community composition varies during the process of log decomposition remains poorly …

Changes in biodiversity might alter decomposition processes and, consequently, carbon
and nutrient cycling. We examined fungal diversity and density loss in experimental Norway …

Community assembly processes do not only influence community structure, but can also
affect ecosystem processes. To understand the effect of initial community development on …

Our understanding of the long‐lasting effects of human land use on soil fungal communities
in tropical forests is limited. Yet, over 70% of all remaining tropical forests are growing in …

Commercial forestry increasingly aims at both optimizing timber production and maintaining
species diversity. To maintain the diversity of the species-rich group of wood-inhabiting …

Understanding the factors that structure soil microbial communities and their relative
importance in determining local community assemblages is fundamental to understanding …
