The ecology of forest soils is an important field of research due to the role of forests as
carbon sinks. Consequently, a significant amount of information has been accumulated …

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 …

Amending Pb-affected soil with biochar (BH) and magnesium potassium phosphate cement
(MKC) reduces Pb uptake in plants. Moreover, foliar applications of melatonin and proline …

Global change is altering species distributions and thus interactions among organisms.
Organisms live in concert with thousands of other species, some beneficial, some …

Evidence shows that bacteria contribute actively to the decomposition of cellulose and
hemicellulose in forest soil; however, their role in this process is still unclear. Here we …

Soil moisture strongly affects the dynamics of soil organic matter and is an important
environmental variable in all models predicting changes in soil carbon stocks from site to …

So far, there have been hardly any studies offering a comprehensive view of biological
activity in soil, with little scholarly attention paid to the influence of different pesticides and …

Understanding the ecology of coniferous forests is very important because these
environments represent globally largest carbon sinks. Metatranscriptomics, microbial …

Although soil microorganisms play a central role in the soil processes that determine nutrient
availability and productivity of forest ecosystems, we are only beginning to understand how …

Fungi are considered the primary decomposers of dead plant biomass in terrestrial
ecosystems. However, current knowledge regarding the successive changes in fungal …
