Small-fragment, high turnover: soil microenvironment fluctuation effect on tree diversity in a Neotropical montane oak forest [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Background Soil microenvironmental variables showed an important key in α and β-tree diversity in Neotropical montane oak forest. Thus, understanding the microenvironment fluctuation at small-fragment effects on tree diversity is crucial in maintaining ...

Functional Potential of Soil Microbial Communities and Their Subcommunities Varies with Tree Mycorrhizal Type and Tree Diversity [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Soil microbial communities play crucial roles in the earth’s biogeochemical cycles. Yet, their genomic potential for nutrient cycling in association with tree mycorrhizal type and tree-tree interactions remained unclear, especially in diverse tree ...

Impacts of mycorrhizal types, tree diversity, and species identity on the soil microbial genomic functional potential in temperate forests [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Soil microbial genomic functional potential refers to the community’s collective genetic capacity to mediate nutrient cycling processes involving carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). While the drivers of microbial community composition have been

Ecological Drivers of the Soil Microbial Diversity and Composition in Primary Old-Growth Forest and Secondary Woodland in a Subtropical Evergreen Broad-Leaved Forest Biome in the Ailao Mountains, China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Replacement of primary old-growth forests by secondary woodlands in threatened subtropical biomes drives important changes at the level of the overstory, understory and forest floor, but the impact on belowground microbial biodiversity is yet poorly ...

Transcriptome Profiling Reveals Differential Gene Expression of Secreted Proteases and Highly Specific Gene Repertoires Involved in Lactarius–Pinus Symbioses

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Ectomycorrhizal fungi establish a mutualistic symbiosis in roots of most woody plants. The molecular underpinning of ectomycorrhizal development was only explored in a few lineages.

Stable functional structure despite high taxonomic variability across fungal communities in soils of old-growth montane forests

Microbiome, 2023
Background Major advances over the past decade in molecular ecology are providing access to soil fungal diversity in forest ecosystems worldwide, but the diverse functions and metabolic capabilities of this microbial community remain largely elusive.

Vegetation composition, soil properties, and carbon stock of montane forests along a disturbance in the Garhwal Himalaya, India

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
The management of forests is essential for the conservation of biodiversity and climate change. Studies on the variation in forest tree diversity and carbon sequestration by the forests along altitudinal gradients are limited for most parts of the ...

Forest Inventories in Private and Protected Areas of Paraguay

Challenges, 2023
Environmental degradation in Paraguayan ecosystems relates to anthropogenic intervention and has intensified with wildfires and drought. To help mitigate forest cover loss, the local government created laws, parceled land to private owners, and ...
