Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soil microbial community plays a crucial role in the growth and health of forest vegetation, as well as the overall health of forest ecosystems. The microorganisms living in the soil are responsible for a variety of important functions, including nutrient cycling, decomposition of organic matter, and the formation of soil structure. These processes are essential for the growth and survival of trees and other plants in the forest, as they provide the necessary nutrients and support for root development. Additionally, soil microbes can impact the health of the forest ecosystem by influencing the balance of beneficial and harmful microorganisms, which can affect the resilience of the system to disturbances such as disease outbreaks and climate change. Understanding the role of soil microbes in forest ecosystems is critical for effective management and conservation of these important natural resources.
The purpose of this special issue is to collect the latest research findings on forest soils and microorganisms, including but not limited to the following six aspects:
-Investigating the role of soil microbial communities in nutrient cycling and uptake in forest vegetation.
-Assessing the impact of soil microbial communities on the growth and productivity of forest trees and other plants.
-Examining the relationship between soil microbe and forest ecosystem health, including the resilience of forests to disturbances.
-Identifying key microbial processes that contribute to the formation and maintenance of soil structure in forest ecosystems.
-Evaluating the potential for soil microbial communities to mitigate the effects of climate change on forest vegetation and ecosystems.
-Developing management strategies that promote the growth and health of forest vegetation by optimizing soil microbiology.
All interested scholars are welcome to contribute.
