Responses of soil microbial communities to freeze–thaw cycles in a Chinese temperate forest

Abstract Background Freeze–thaw events are common in boreal and temperate forest ecosystems and are increasingly influenced by climate warming. Soil microorganisms play an important role in maintaining ecosystem stability, but their responses to freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs) are poorly understood. We co...
