Changes in the Distribution Preference of Soil Microbial Communities During Secondary Succession in a Temperate Mountain Forest [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Soil microbes play a crucial role in a forest ecosystem. However, whether the distribution of bacteria and fungi in different forest succession stages is random or following ecological specialization remains to be further studied.

Changes in nitrogen and phosphorus availability driven by secondary succession in temperate forests shape soil fungal communities and function [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The soil fungal community plays an important role in forest ecosystems and is crucially influenced by forest secondary succession. However, the driving factors of fungal community and function during temperate forest succession and their potential impact

Impacts of Land-Use Changes on Vegetation and Ecosystem Functioning: Old-Field Secondary Succession [PDF]
Plants, 2021 The study of ecological succession to determine how plant communities re-assemble after a natural or anthropogenic disturbance has always been an important topic in ecology. The understanding of these processes forms part of the new theories of community

Afforestation and secondary succession
Leśne Prace Badawcze, 2015 Abstract Secondary succession is a long and complicated natural process returning forests to post agricultural lands, whereas afforestation is an attempt to speed up this process by planting trees. Massive afforestation in the twentieth century brought an increase in forest area in Poland along with management problems in these areas ...

Secondary Succession Altered the Diversity and Co-Occurrence Networks of the Soil Bacterial Communities in Tropical Lowland Rainforests [PDF]
Plants, 2022 The characteristics of plant and soil bacterial communities in forest ecosystems have been reported, but our understanding of the relationship between plant communities and soil bacteria in different stages of secondary tropical rainforest succession is ...

A study of soil seed banks across one complete chronosequence of secondary succession in a karst landscape [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Anthropogenic disturbance and distinctive geochemistry have resulted in rocky desertification in many karst regions of the world. Seed banks are crucial to vegetation regeneration in degraded karst ecosystems characterized by a discontinuous distribution

Carbon stock increases up to old growth forest along a secondary succession in Mediterranean island ecosystems. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 The occurrence of old-growth forests is quite limited in Mediterranean islands, which have been subject to particularly pronounced human impacts. Little is known about the carbon stocks of such peculiar ecosystems compared with different stages of ...

Microbial secondary succession in a chronosequence of chalk grasslands [PDF]
ISME Journal, 2010 Abstract Although secondary succession has been studied extensively, we have little knowledge of the succession of soil-borne microbial communities. In this study, we therefore examined the structures of the microbial communities across two separate chronosequences of chalk grasslands in Limburg, the Netherlands, which are at different ...
