The paper defines a core microbiome as a data-driven abstraction that preserves ecological information under dimensional reduction, showing it retains key patterns and functions despite low taxonomic diversity.

TreeTOP enables standardized manipulative experiments in forest canopies by providing accessible platforms for potted plants across different heights.

The paper shows that sampling design affects estimates of soil bacterial richness, with homogenized samples underestimating diversity and altering ecosystem comparisons.

The paper shows that tree species' resource economics influence soil food web multifunctionality in European forests, with acquisitive species promoting higher metabolic activity and multifunctionality.

This study shows that older, broad-leaved forests in Germany support both high biodiversity and carbon storage, suggesting sustainable management strategies for Central Europe.
