• Podmínění půdní biodiverzity odlišností lesního managementu na příkladu půd Krkonoš (2026) · Zprávy lesnického výzkumu · doi

  There is a lack of understanding of the effect of different degrees of disturbance on soil biodiversity. Prior studies have not investigated the soil environment and soil microbial biodiversity in habitats with different levels of soil disturbance.

• Divergent group-specific pathways of microbial diversity and network complexity maintain soil multifunctionality during alpine grassland restoration (2026) · Frontiers in Plant Science · doi

  The study identifies a gap in our understanding of the group-specific pathways linking microbial diversity, community assembly, and network complexity to soil multifunctionality during alpine grassland restoration. The research highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of the relationships between microbial communities and ecosystem functioning in the context of restoration.
