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 …

Global climate change is already having significant impacts on arctic and alpine
ecosystems, and ongoing increases in temperature and altered precipitation patterns will …

Fungi are the agents primarily responsible for the transformation of plant‐derived carbon in
terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known of their responses to the seasonal changes …

Increased exploration and exploitation of resources in the Arctic is leading to a higher risk of
petroleum contamination. A number of Arctic microorganisms can use petroleum for growth …

Climate change has a disproportionally large impact on alpine soil ecosystems, leading to
pronounced changes in soil microbial diversity and function associated with effects on …

Soil warming can directly affect the microbial community, or indirectly affect the microbial
community by affecting soil moisture, nutrient availability, vegetation growth, etc. However …

The elevational diversity pattern for microorganisms has received great attention recently but
is still understudied, and phylogenetic relatedness is rarely studied for microbial elevational …

Soil microbial responses to climate warming in temperate regions may interact with the
effects of increased atmospheric N deposition. In addition, the combined effects of these …

Soil microorganisms are critical to carbon and nutrient fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems.
Understanding the annual pattern of soil microbial community structure and how it …

Microbial biomass phosphorus (P) can play an important role in P cycling and availability to
plants by acting as a source (remineralization) or sink (immobilization) of phosphate ions …
