TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated forest vegetation as an indicator for future vegetation changes in five regions of western Romania representing a climatic gradient, and concluded that climate driven forest vegetation composition in western Romania is a suitable analogon and may indicate future forest development in western Central Europe.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of climate change on carbon cycling, the processes and mechanisms determining the magnitude of C storage and fluxes must be well understood, and a more interdisciplinary scientific approach will increase the speed in generating urgently needed understanding of belowground processes of C-cycling.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper used the minimum data set along with the soil quality index (SQI) area and the sensitivity-resistance approaches to assess two key approaches to evaluate soil health.

TL;DR: In this article, a coal refuse bank in Landsweiler-Reden (Southwest Germany) was covered with a mixture consisting of 80% refuse materials, 10% composted wood and 10% of sewage sludge as part of a reclamation project.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that long-term (26 years) manure fertilization increased microbial diversity and content of short-range ordered iron (oxyhydr)oxides that raised Mo bioavailability (by 2.8 times) and storage (by ∼30%) and increased the abundance of nifH genes and nitrogenase activity.
