Initial Responses of the Soil Microbial Community to Forest Thinning (ASM Microbe 2023) - "Conversely, two other fungal species, Mycena zephirus and Cytospora variostromatica, were highly abundant in the thinned tree soils...This work also provides baseline data, and a means to compare impacts with other forest disturbances like conversion to agriculture and mining. Understanding below-ground biodiversity responses to forest management are crucial, given that proactive management intervention techniques such as thinning will be increasingly used to mitigate climate change impacts on forest ecosystems."
