The knowledge of the effects of fire on soil properties is of particular concern in
Mediterranean areas, where the effects of vegetation type are still scarce also. This research …

In the coming decades, Mediterranean forests are likely to experience higher heat-wave
frequency that may severely affect soil microbial functioning. Here, we studied the effects of …

Mediterranean humid mountains are ecological hotspots with high water availability that
may accelerate their recovery after farmland abandonment, a widespread phenomenon in …

Rocky desertification is one of the most ecological problems in the karst context. Although
extensive research has been conducted to explore how to restore and protect, the …

Since about 2000, octocorals on the shallow reefs of St. John, US Virgin Islands, have
increased in abundance to form dense stands analogous to terrestrial forests. In this study …

Purpose The decomposition and transformation of woody debris (WD) generated during
forest growth and management have a significant impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) …

Land use is known to be one of the major factors driving soil microbial and physico‐
chemical properties. Understanding its long‐term effect remains a major challenge in …

Mediterranean forests own distinct characteristics resulting from climate, soil, and vegetation
that affect soil microbial communities' assembly and their associated functions. We initiated …

Soil microorganisms are key regulators of soil carbon (C) and nutrients cycles in terrestrial
ecosystems. However, it remains uncertain how the inter-annual variation in soil microbial …

The addition of pulverized grape pruning wood to grape soils has a positive effect on fruit
quality. However, its effects on the soil microecology of the root zone and the growth of the …
