Functional Assays and Metagenomic Analyses Reveals Differences between the Microbial Communities Inhabiting the Soil Horizons of a Norway Spruce Plantation
Abstract
In temperate ecosystems, acidic forest soils are among the most nutrient-poor terrestrial environments. In this context, the
long-term differentiation of the forest soils into horizons may impact the assembly and the functions of the soil microbial
