Land use, microorganisms, and soil organic carbon: putting the pieces together

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    On a local scale, the microbial communities are more influenced by soil properties and microclimate changes than plant communities. At the microscale, the effects on soil biodiversity are far less known, despite the importance of soil organisms (bacteria, fungi, 3 of 28 arthropods, invertebrates, etc.), which are the major regulators of essential ecosystem functions and services, such as plant productivity, nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, and pollutant degradation. Lucas-Borja et_al studied the microbiological properties of soil and vegetation in Mediterranean mountains, and the result indicated that increased tourist activity significantly impacted soil microbial . . .
