Forests influence climate and mitigate global change through the storage of carbon in soils.
In turn, these complex ecosystems face important challenges, including increases in carbon …

Globally, forests represent highly productive ecosystems that act as carbon sinks where soil
organic matter is formed from residuals after biomass decomposition as well as from …

Forest soils are a pressing subject of worldwide research owing to the several roles of
forests such as carbon sinks. Currently, the living soil ecosystem has become dreadful as a …

Billions of microorganisms perform critical below‐ground functions in all terrestrial
ecosystems. While largely invisible to the naked eye, they support all higher lifeforms, form …

Climate change will affect semiarid ecosystems through severe droughts that increase the
competition for resources in plant and microbial communities. In these habitats, adaptations …

Due to land use history, most of the current temperate and boreal forests are developed on
nutrient-poor and rocky soils, keeping fertile soils for agriculture. Consequently, the …

Climate change globally affects soil microbial community assembly across ecosystems.
However, little is known about the impact of warming on the structure of soil microbial …
