Soil fungal and bacterial communities in southern boreal forests of the Greater Khingan Mountains and their relationship with soil properties
Abstract Little is known about the relationship between soil microbial communities and soil properties in southern boreal forests. To further our knowledge about that relationship, we compared the soil samples in southern boreal forests of the Greater Khingan Mountains—the southernmost boreal forest...

Abstract Little is known about the relationship between soil microbial communities and soil properties in southern boreal forests.

These results provide evidence for different soil communities and soil properties in southern boreal forest, and further elucidate the explicit correlation between soil microbial communities and soil properties in southern boreal forests. |
