Forest ecosystems in the Mediterranean Basin are mostly situated in the north of the Basin
(mesic). In the most southern and dry areas, the forest can only exist where topography …

Plant genetic variation, through its phenotypic display, can determine the composition of
below ground microbial communities. Variation within a species is increasingly …

Soil functioning is closely linked to the interactions between biological communities with the
physical environment. Yet, the impact of plant community attributes on metabolic processes …

Background and aims Most studies of the relationships between the composition of soil
organic matter and plant cover have been carried out at the plant genera level. However …

Soil functioning is intrinsically related to the structure of associated biological communities.
This link is barely understood in the multispecies context of soil microbial communities …

Mediterranean forests own distinct characteristics resulting from climate, soil, and vegetation
that affect soil microbial communities' assembly and their associated functions. We initiated …

The aim of the research is to compare the physical properties and biological activity of the
soil in apple orchards with the soils of other lands: strawberry, chokeberry, black currant …

Aims to valuate Africa's forestry and forest products, namely Wood Forest Products (WFPs)
and Non-wood Forest Products (NWFPs) in the sixteen (16) West African countries. The …

According to this study, approximately half of Africa's forests are utilized primarily or partially
for the production of wood and non-wood commodities. Aims to evaluate Africa's forestry and …
