Pyrosequencing-based assessment of bacterial community structure along different management types in German forest and grassland soils.

<h4>Background</h4>Soil bacteria are important drivers for nearly all biogeochemical cycles in terrestrial ecosystems and participate in most nutrient transformations in soil. In contrast to the importance of soil bacteria for ecosystem functioning, we understand little how different man...
