Biotic and abiotic drivers of soil microbial functions across tree diversity experiments

S. Cesarz, D. Craven, H. Auge, H. Bruelheide, B. Castagneyrol, A. Hector, H. Jactel, J. Koricheva, C. Messier, B. Muys, M. J. O'Brien, A. Paquette, C. Potvin, P. B. Reich, M. Scherer-Lorenzen, , N. Eisenhauer

This study examines how tree diversity and environmental factors influence soil microbial functions across global experiments, finding that abiotic factors like soil water content are more significant than tree diversity in the short term.
