“…Several previous studies showed that the microbial community composition and structure was affected by eCO 2 (Feng et al, 2010;He et al, 2010bHe et al, , 2012bDeng et al, 2012;Hayden et al, 2012), eO 3 and/or eCO 2 þ eO 3 (Phillips et al, 2002;Kasurinen et al, 2005;Kanerva et al, 2008). For example, a previous study at the BioCON site showed that eCO 2 increased plant and microbial biomass, soil pH and moisture and significantly shifted the functional and phylogentic/taxonmoic composition, structure and network interactions of soil micorbial communities (Zhou et al, 2010;He et al, 2010bHe et al, , 2012bZhou et al, 2011;Deng et al, 2012).…”
