Soil Fungal Community Structure and Function Shift during a Disease-Driven Forest Succession [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Forest succession is important for sustainable forest management in terrestrial ecosystems. However, knowledge about the response of soil microbes to forest disease-driven succession is limited.

The contrasting responses of abundant and rare microbial community structures and co-occurrence networks to secondary forest succession in the subalpine region [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Knowledge of variations in abundant and rare soil microbial communities and interactions during secondary forest succession is lacking. Soil samples were gathered from different secondary successional stages (grassland, shrubland, and secondary forest ...

Forest succession improves the complexity of soil microbial interaction and ecological stochasticity of community assembly: Evidence from Phoebe bournei-dominated forests in subtropical regions [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Forest succession is a central ecological topic, due to the importance of the associated dynamic processes for terrestrial ecosystems. However, very little is currently known about the community assembly and interaction of soil microbial communities ...

Two centuries of forest succession, and 30 years of vegetation changes in permanent plots in an inland sand dune area, The Netherlands. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 There are not many sites in densely populated temperate Europe where primary forest succession has a chance to run without direct human intervention for a long time and over a relatively large area.

The impact of vegetation regeneration succession on soil carbon composition and enzyme activity in the southwestern karst region [PDF]
PeerJVegetation regeneration enhances soil carbon sequestration in degraded karst ecosystems. However, how succession influences soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions and enzyme activities remains poorly understood in Southwest China’s karst landscapes.

An appraisal of the classic forest succession paradigm with the shade tolerance index. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In this paper we revisit the classic theory of forest succession that relates shade tolerance and species replacement and assess its validity to understand patch-mosaic patterns of forested ecosystems of the USA.
