Soil bacterial community structure remains stable over a five-year chronosequence of insect-induced tree mortality
Extensive tree mortality from insect epidemics has raised concern over possible effects on soil biogeochemical processes. Yet despite the importance of microbes in biogeochemical processes, how soil bacterial communities respond to insect-induced tree mortality is largely unknown. We examined soil b...
