Plant and soil microbe responses to light, warming and nitrogen addition in a temperate forest [PDF]
, 2018 1. Temperate forests across Europe and eastern North America have become denser since the 1950s due to less intensive forest management and global environmental changes such as nitrogen deposition and climate warming. Denser tree canopies result in lower

Links between soil microbial communities and plant traits in a species-rich grassland under long-term climate change [PDF]
, 2017 Climate change can influence soil microorganisms directly by altering their growth and activity but also indirectly via effects on the vegetation, which modifies the availability of resources.

Soil pH, total phosphorus, climate and distance are the major factors influencing microbial activity at a regional spatial scale [PDF]
, 2016 Considering the extensive functional redundancy in microbial communities and great difficulty in elucidating it based on taxonomic structure, studies on the biogeography of soil microbial activity at large spatial scale are as important as microbial ...

Multiple environmental controls explain global patterns in soil animal communities [PDF]
, 2020 Soil animals play important roles in ecosystem functioning and stability, but the environmental controls on their communities are not fully understood. In this study, we compiled a dataset of soil animal communities for which the abundance and body mass ...

Salinity Is a Key Determinant for Soil Microbial Communities in a Desert Ecosystem
mSystems, 2019 Soil salinization is a growing environmental problem caused by both natural and human activities. Excessive salinity in soil suppresses growth, decreases species diversity, and alters the community composition of plants; however, the effect of salinity ...
