The ecology of forest soils is an important field of research due to the role of forests as
carbon sinks. Consequently, a significant amount of information has been accumulated …

The ancient phylum Actinobacteria is composed of phylogenetically and physiologically
diverse bacteria that help Earth's ecosystems function. As free-living organisms and …

Abstract Both Bacteria and Archaea might be involved in various biogeochemical processes
in lacustrine sediment ecosystems. However, the factors governing the intra-lake distribution …

Due to land use history, most of the current temperate and boreal forests are developed on
