Microbial activity and the dynamics of ecosystem processes in forest soils

摘要

Graphical abstractDisplay OmittedHighlights?Forest ecosystems are dynamic on a wide range of temporal scales.?Tree root activity and precipitation induce short-term responses of soil microbes.?Seasonality of tree activity and temperature drives the activity of forest microbes.?Succession on litter and deadwood is largely driven by fungal activity.?Forest stand development is a complex process where microbes play an important role.Microbial activity in forest soils is driven by the dynamics of ecosystem processes, largely dependent on trees as th
