Wechselwirkung zwischen dem Bodenmikrobiom und der Vielfalt sowie der Identität von Baumarten in subtropischen Wäldern Chinas

Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Our work resulted in a fruitful collaboration with the Chinese colleagues of the group of Liang Dong Guo as demonstrated by joint publications. The complementarity with this group was high as it focuses on analysing microbes associated to tree roots, while we focuse on soils. In general, our results from the CSPs and the main experimental plots demonstrated that the subtropical forests under investigation are remarkably rich in microbial communities both in soils and dead wood and that these communities responded to forest age, plant identity, plant diversity levels and neighbouring tree species. In the main experiment, final interpretation and publishing of the results have been delayed. However, the investigations have been made during initial stages of the experiment and we expect the microbial community composition in the main experimental sites to change as the plants will grow. In particular, the enhanced production of litter may buffer the diversity and neigborhood effects we detected. This justifies a future continual monitoring of these temporal changes in microbial community composition to unravel the ecological and functional significance of the plant-microbe interactions in the context of the functioning of the highly diverse subtropical forest ecosystems.
