Pioneering studies performed in the nineteenth century demonstrated that yeasts are
present in below‐ground sources. Soils were regarded more as a reservoir for yeasts that …

Land-use intensification is a major driver of biodiversity loss. However, understanding how
different components of land use drive biodiversity loss requires the investigation of multiple …

Yeasts are ubiquitous in temperate forests. While this broad habitat is well‐defined, the
yeasts inhabiting it and their life cycles, niches, and contributions to ecosystem functioning …

Land-use intensification is a major driver of biodiversity loss,. Alongside reductions in local
species diversity, biotic homogenization at larger spatial scales is of great concern for …

For managed temperate forests, conservationists and policymakers favour fine‐grained
uneven‐aged (UEA) management over more traditional coarse‐grained even‐aged (EA) …

Quantifying soil carbon dynamics is of utmost relevance in the context of global change
because soils play an important role in land–atmosphere gas exchange. Our current …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are ubiquitous soil fungi, forming mutualistic symbiosis
with a majority of terrestrial plant species. They are abundant in nearly all soils, less diverse …

Alkaline phosphatases such as PhoD and PhoX are important in organic phosphorus
cycling in soil. We identified the key organisms harboring the phoD and phoX genes in soil …

Intensive land use practices necessary for providing food and raw materials are known to
have a deleterious effect on soil. However, the effects that such practices have on soil …

Species diversity promotes the delivery of multiple ecosystem functions (multifunctionality).
However, the relative functional importance of rare and common species in driving the …
