Abstract:
... Forest soil harbors diverse microbial communities with decisive roles in ecosystem processes. Vegetation shift from needleleaf to broadleaf species is occurring across the globe due to climate change and anthropogenic activities, potentially change forest soil microbial communities and C cycle. However, our knowledge on the impact of such vegetation shift on soil microbial community and activities ...

Abstract:
... Understanding how natural disasters affect soil quality and how it recovers is essential to improve soil management. We studied the effects of the 2010 Nanping landslides (China) on soil quality. We conducted an observational study using three levels of disturbance (‘destroyed’, ‘recovering’, and ‘undisturbed’). The ‘destroyed’ areas were sampled immediately after the landslide and the others were ...

Abstract:
... Previous research has found total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) levels increase with litterfall decay, thus suggesting litterfall decomposition plays an essential role in the biogeochemical transformation of mercury (Hg). However, it remains unclear how Hg accumulates in the decaying litter, how bacterial taxa networks vary and what roles various microorganisms play during litterfall deco ...

Understanding tree fine roots' response to warming is crucial for predicting soil carbon dynamics and the functioning of forests as a sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂). We studied fine root production (FRP) with ingrowth cores ...

We examined attitudes towards forest protection in general and towards dif ...
