While increasing attention has been given to issues surrounding biodiversity in recent years, little is known about the diversity of forest soil microorganisms. This is a serious gap in knowledge given the significant roles played by microorganisms in ecosystem functioning. This paper addresses issues surrounding conservation of microbial diversity in forest soils with an emphasis on the impact of fire. Recently developed techniques such as phospholipid fatty acid profiling, DNA reassociation, and carbon substrate utilization will also be reviewed for their applicability to biodiversity research. Future research needs are also discussed.Key words: biodiversity, conservation, forest soils, fire, microbial diversity.

We evaluated diets of eastern woodrats (Neotomafloridana)on Cross Timbers rangeland subjected to experimental brush manipulation. Treatments were tebuthiuron and triclopyr herbicides, applied with and without annual prescribed burning. Untreated reference sites also were evaluated. Microhistological techniques were used to estimate relative percent composition of plant species in diets. A total of 23 plant species were found in diets from summer and winter samples. Eastern woodrats exhibited seasonal variation in diet selection, consuming mostly forbs in summer and browse in winter. Pokeweed (Phytolacca americana) and eastern redcedar (Juniperus virgzniana) comprised the greatest percentages of diets in summer and winter, respectively. Experimental brush treatment also influenced diet composition. We hypothesized that eastern woodrats would exhibit opportunistic foraging behavior and use food types in proportion to their availability. Forb and browse diet classes were used in accordance with availability except for forbs on burned tebuthiuron sites. Eastern woodrats generally followed an opportunistic foraging strategy although occasions of selective foraging were observed, presumably in response to increased palatability and/or nutritional quality of available forage.
