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 structure drives changes in light heterogeneity during tropical secondary forest succession [PDF]
Journal of Ecology, 2021 Abstract Light is a key resource for tree performance and hence, tree species partition spatial and temporal gradients in light availability. Although light distribution drives tree performance and species replacement during secondary forest succession, we yet lack ...

MAPPING SECONDARY FOREST SUCCESSION ON ABANDONED AGRICULTURAL LAND IN THE POLISH CARPATHIANS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016 Land abandonment and secondary forest succession have played a significant role in land cover changes and forest cover increase in mountain areas in Europe over the past several decades.

Soil viruses drive carbon turnover during subtropical secondary forest succession [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyIntroductionSoil viruses are increasingly recognized as key regulators of microbial ecology and ecosystem function, yet their roles in forest ecosystems, particularly during natural secondary succession, remain largely unexplored.MethodsWe examined soil ...

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.

Nitrogen cycling during secondary succession in Atlantic Forest of Bahia, Brazil [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Carbon accumulation in tropical secondary forests may be limited in part by nitrogen (N) availability, but changes in N during tropical forest succession have rarely been quantified.

Total soil nutrients drive the enhancement of ecosystem multifunctionality as the succession progresses of the poplar-birch secondary forest [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceEcosystem multifunctionality(EMF) refers to an integrated measure of an ecosystem's capacity to perform multiple co-occurring functions. However, change the multi-factor driving mechanism of EMF during poplar-birch secondary forest succession are still ...
