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 …

In forest ecosystems, trees represent the major primary producers and affect the chemical
composition and microbial processes in the ecosystem via specific litter chemistry and …

There is limited knowledge on how the association of trees with different mycorrhizal types
shapes soil microbial communities in the context of changing tree diversity levels. We used …

Bacterial communities living in forest soils contribute to the decomposition of organic matter
and the recycling of nutrients in these ecosystems and form one of the most diverse habitats …

Soils harbor a vast diversity of soil microbiota, which play a crucial role in key ecosystem
processes such as litter transformation and mineralization, but how complex plant-soil …

The ecology of forest soils is an important field of research due to the role of forests as
carbon sinks. Consequently, a significant amount of information has been accumulated …

Tree species diversity of forested ecosystems control the diversity of leaf litter inputs to the
soil, with cascading effects on the microbial communities colonizing decomposing litter …

The linkage between tree diversity and the soil food web in temperate deciduous forest
ecosystems remains uncertain. Using microbial phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs), we …

Recent studies have revealed effects of various tree species on soil physical and chemical
properties. However, effects of various tree species on composition and activity of soil …

The microbiota of most forest soils is dominated by ecto-mycorrhizal and saprotrophic
decomposer fungi which are the main organisms involved respectively in the supply of …
