Field to Greenhouse: How Stable Is the Soil Microbiome after Removal from the Field?

Microorganisms
Plant-soil feedback (PSF) processes impact plant productivity and ecosystem function, but they are poorly understood because PSFs vary significantly with plant and soil type, plant growth stage, and environmental conditions. Controlled greenhouse studies

Shifts in functional traits and interactions patterns of soil methane‐cycling communities following forest‐to‐pasture conversion in the Amazon Basin

Molecular Ecology, 2023
Deforestation threatens the integrity of the Amazon biome and the ecosystem services it provides, including greenhouse gas mitigation. Forest‐to‐pasture conversion has been shown to alter the flux of methane gas (CH4) in Amazonian soils, driving a switch
