摘要

Forest ecosystems are under unprecedented pressure from intensifying global change and anthropogenic disturbances, which profoundly alter the biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nutrients. Despite growing recognition of these impacts, critical knowledge gaps remain regarding how specific perturbations in forest ecosystems reshape soil microbial community composition and function, consequently modifying the dynamics of carbon and nutrient cycling. This uncertainty constrains the accurate prediction of consequences for soil health and climate feedbacks across diverse forest ecosystems. To address these challenges, this Special Issue presents eight integrated studies employing long-term field experiments, isotopic tracers, and molecular tools to elucidate how the biogeochemical processes of carbon and nutrient cycling in forest soils and their underlying microbial mechanisms respond to multiple global change drivers and anthropogenic disturbances. Collectively, these contributions advance our mechanistic understanding of soil carbon and nutrient cycling in changing environments, providing a scientific foundation for developing targeted strategies to sustain and enhance forest soil functions.
