Soil microbial community composition and diversity were significantly affected by tree
species, growth stage and soil nutrients in the forest ecosystem. We analyzed the bulk and …

Microbial respiration is critical for soil carbon balance and ecosystem functioning. Previous
studies suggest that plant diversity influences soil microbial communities and their …

Elucidating the diversity patterns and drivers of soil microbes at high altitudes contributes to
understanding the role microbes play in ecosystem services, but little is known about the soil …

Exploring the limitations of soil microbial nutrient metabolism would help to understand the
adaptability and response mechanisms of soil microbes in semi-arid ecosystems. Soil …

Forests are ecosystems critical to understanding the global carbon budget, due to their
carbon sequestration potential in both aboveground and belowground compartments …

Ecological understandings of soil bacterial community succession and assembly
mechanism along elevational gradients in mountains remain not well understood. Here, by …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and nitrogen-fixing bacteria (expressing the nifH gene)
play an important role in maintaining plant growth and soil function, and the reconstruction …

Afforestation with single and mixed tree species on cropland alters soil properties and the
composition and diversity of soil bacterial community. We investigated changes in soil …

Soil microbe diversity plays a key role in dryland ecosystem function under global climate
change, yet little is known about how plant-soil microbe relationships respond to climate …

Studying the variations in soil microbial community diversity and structure along a climate
gradient can help to understand the impact of climate change on ecosystem functions …
