Abstract Purpose of Review Continuous replanting of land with the same or similar plant
species can result in the accumulation of harmful soil microbes, which can lead to crop …

Increased concerns associated with interactions between herbicides, inorganic fertilizers,
soil nutrient availability, and plant phytotoxicity in perennial tree crop production systems …

Aims Temperate alley-cropping agroforestry systems maintain agricultural production while
offering several environmental benefits. Central benefits of agroforestry systems such as the …

Many studies have focused on the processes of vegetation succession, however, the
dynamics of soil microbes and the synergy between vegetation and soil are still poorly …

Uncertainties remain as to the potential for tree plantations to affect soil microbial biomass.
Our aim was to determine the factors accountable for the maintenance and the increase of …

The process of forest range shift not only affects the vegetation aboveground but also
influences the dynamics of belowground microbial communities. To investigate the changes …

Background Tree-based intercropping (agroforestry) has been advocated to reduce adverse
environmental impacts of conventional arable cropping. Modern agroforestry systems in the …

Tree species can substantially impact the structure and functioning of soil microbial
communities. However, how tree species mixing affects soil microbial communities along …

Soil microorganisms influence the functions and processes of forest ecosystems, and their
composition is affected by natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Timber harvesting …

Microorganisms facilitate the recovery of previously degraded soils, such as degraded lands
experiencing vegetation restoration and understory expansion, through vital soil functions …
