Recovery of soil microbial diversity and functions along a tropical montane forest disturbance gradient

Abstract: Logging and forest conversion are occurring at alarming rates in tropical forests. These disturbances alter soil microbial community structure and functions. While direct links between changes in soil properties, such as pH and microbial community structure are well established, the indirect effects of logging and forest conversion on soil microbial community structure and functions are poorly understood. We used a space-for-time substitution to investigate the changes in soil microbial diversity and functions… Show more

“…In nutrient-limited regions, high soil microbial diversity and biomass are positively correlated with increased litter inputs. This is because most soil microbes, including bacteria and fungi, rely on the decomposition of litter to obtain energy and nutrients ( Sniegocki et al, 2022 ). For instance, the addition of litter has been shown to substantially enhance soil microbial biomass C and total phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs), indicating an overall increase in soil microbial biomass ( Pan et al, 2018 ).…”
