Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atmospheric trace greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide, have high global warming potentials. Forest ecosystems modulate important functions on these trace greenhouse gases, as microbial communities participate in both the production and consumption of these gases in forest soils. In particular, human activities and the changing climate might further affect the greenhouse gas emissions from forest soils. The Special Issue will present the influences and responses of soil bacterial communities in forests to global warming.
