INTRODUCTION

Forests represent one of the largest and most important ecosystems on Earthcovering more than 40 million km2 and representing 30 of the total global land

area (1) Forest ecosystems are found in most of Earthrsquos biomes and harbor a largeproportion of the global diversity For example temperate and boreal forests occupymost of the land surface of the Northern Hemisphere and contain 46 of all trees onEarthmdash 066 and 074 trillion respectively (2) Due to their global extension theprocesses occurring in these two biomes are of global importance and an understand-ing of the composition and function of their microbiomes is thus essential (Fig 1)

Forests typically represent important carbon (C) sinks with large amounts of recal-citrant organic matter in their soils especially the temperate forest soils which receivetons of litter per hectare yearly (3) The presence of large trees distinguishes forestsfrom grasslands wetlands and agricultural areas in multiple ways (4) Trees representa multitude of habitats such as the phyllosphere or rhizosphere but they also sub-stantially affect the remaining parts of the ecosystem This is mainly because as thedominant primary producers they supply the bulk of the C that enters the ecosystemand while some of this C is in the form of simple organic molecules a significantfraction such as the complex biomass of wood litter or roots is composed ofrecalcitrant biopolymers (4) Trees also largely contribute to the spatial heterogeneity offorest ecosystems by multiple means including the penetration of soils by variousguilds of roots generation of patches of litter and ground vegetation and changes ofthe morphology of the terrain during uprooting or the production of deadwood (4 5)

Temperate forests extend approximately from latitudes 25degN to 50degN graduallychanging into boreal forests further north (6) The southern limit of boreal forests isunderstood as the latitude at which conifers are competitively excluded by temperatetree species with higher rates of photosynthesis There is however no distinct bound-ary between the two biomes but rather a broad transition zone that includes a mix ofconiferous and deciduous tree species (7) Temperate forests are characterized bytemperature ranges between 30 and 30degC with hot summers and cold winters andwith 750 to 1300 mm of precipitation per year Boreal forestsmdash or mountainous forestsin the temperate zonemdashface lower temperatures with cold winters lasting more than6 months and average summer temperatures of around 10degC Despite the lowerprecipitation levels (300 to 900 mm of rain per year) boreal forests are typically moistbecause of the reduced evaporation at low temperatures In addition other factorssuch as elevation substrate drainage physical soil properties and nutrient availabilityare also responsible for the distribution of forest types on landscape scales

Temperate forests are composed of a large variety of deciduous trees whileconiferous trees dominate temperate forests at higher altitudes but also occur fre-quently in plantation forests (8 9) Boreal forests exhibit a reduced tree diversity witha larger proportion of coniferous trees (10)

Although temperate and boreal forests fulfill several important ecosystem servicestheir role as large C sinks has gained specific interest in recent decades especially in thecontext of global change Recent approximations indicate that the current C stockstored in forests worldwide is approximately 861 Pg of which 44 is in soil 42 inabove- and belowground biomass 8 in deadwood and 5 in litter (11) Of the globalstock of C stored by forests boreal forests contain 32 and temperate forests another14 indicating that their importance for global C sequestration is equivalent to that oftropical forests (11) The large amount of stored C has the potential to influence thefeedback between the climate and the global C cycle (12) In this sense global changeincluding both climate change and other changes linked to human activities has beenrecognized as a major threat to forests (13) Over the millennia human overexploitationhas been the most important risk for forests and the C balance of forests is largelyaffected by human activities including deforestation the management of productionforest reforestation afforestation and others (11 14) Other disturbances that areassociated with climate change and atmospheric drivers are also affecting the C

balance of forests In this sense the effects of increasing temperature persistence ofdroughts recurrence of fires or expansion of native and invasive forest pests togetherwith the increasing loads of nitrogen (N) and carbon dioxide affect forest nutrient cyclesto a level where forests may potentially become net sources rather than sinks of CO2

(12 13 15) Therefore a better understanding of the role of forests in C fluxes that arelargely dependent on the activity of bacteria and fungi has been highlighted as anessential prerequisite for projecting future predictions of the health of our planet (16)

While plants are the key drivers of C uptake from the atmosphere in forests forestmicroorganisms contribute greatly to the C balance in these ecosystems They play animportant role as decomposers symbionts or pathogens influencing the C turnoverand retention and the availability of other nutrients (17ndash19) Microbial communities arevital in mediating the biogeochemical cycles and an understanding of their role inecosystem processes is essential for the prediction of the forest response to futureenvironmental conditions (8 17 20)

Fungi are the most well-studied microbes in temperate and boreal forest soils thatharbor abundant and diverse communities of saprotrophic and mycorrhizal fungal taxa(12 21 22) Fungi are considered the main decomposers in forest soils because of theirability to produce a wide range of extracellular enzymes that allow them to efficientlydegrade the recalcitrant fraction of dead plant biomass (23ndash25) Moreover mycorrhizalfungi play a pivotal role in the mobilization and sequestration of N and P in the forestsoil and are also responsible for significant soil transport of C (26ndash29) It is not surprisingthat most of the research on forest soil ecology so far has focused on fungi (18 19) Thistraditional emphasis on fungi however is slowly shifting with an increasing appreci-ation of the role of bacteria as the other major component of forest ecosystems (19)

Bacteria represent another important though less explored integral part of themicrobial community in forest soils For example recent findings indicate that bacteriacommonly harbor genes encoding plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (30) and contrib-

ute significantly to the decomposition of organic matter (31ndash35) In addition bacteriaare the major natural agents responsible for N fixation in forest ecosystems (36) and forother ecosystem processes such as mineral weathering leading to the release ofinorganic nutrients (37) The roles of bacteria and fungi however should not be viewedas separate The high abundance of fungal biomass in forest soils has multiple conse-quences for bacteria including the creation of specific niches in the soil patchescolonized by mycorrhizal fungi (ie the mycorrhizosphere) and soil mycelial mats (3839) provision of nutrients via organic matter decomposition (40) and an increase in soilconnectivity by fungal mycelia that allow certain bacteria to move across the environ-ment (41) Conversely the functioning of mycorrhiza is modulated by mycorrhizahelper bacteria (MHB) (42)

It is only recently that advances in analytical methods have allowed us to assess therole of bacteria in the complex forest ecosystem and to address the important ques-tions that previously remained unanswered such as the following Which habitats dobacteria inhabit and what are the major drivers of their abundance and diversity Whatis their role in nutrient cycling and the C balance How do they interact with otherforest organisms How do they respond to climate change and how does this responseaffect ecosystem processes The aim of this review is to answer these questions fortemperate and boreal forests to summarize the present knowledge about the role ofbacteria in ecosystem processes and about their response to global change as well asto motivate further research in the bacterial ecology of forests

BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES IN FOREST ECOSYSTEMS

Forest ecosystems provide a broad range of habitats for bacteria including soil andplant tissues and surfaces streams and rocks among others but bacteria seem to beespecially abundant on the forest floor in soil and litter (4) Five phyla AcidobacteriaActinobacteria Proteobacteria Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes appear to be abundant inmost soils (43) In addition to pH which seems to be the most important driver of thebacterial community composition in soils organic matter content nutrient availabilityclimate conditions and biotic interactions (especially the effect of vegetation) affect thecomposition of bacterial communities (43ndash47) The spatial variation of these parametersis responsible for the presence of hot spots of microbial activity with increasedabundance and activity in the soil such as in and on plant debris including litter anddeadwood or on and around plant roots (48ndash50) Each of these niches has specificproperties and consequently a specific bacterial community (Fig 2)

Bacterial Communities on Plant Litter and Deadwood

Due to the activity of primary producers dead plant biomassmdashlitter and dead-woodmdashrepresents the most important C sources for forest soil microbes The estimated1011 tons of fallen leaf litter that accumulates yearly on the forest floor surface and itstransformation are of great importance for the cycling of C and other nutrients (51ndash53)The litter habitat is dominated by a diverse community of fungi that have traditionallybeen considered to be key players in litter decomposition In addition to fungi recentstudies have demonstrated an active role of bacteria in litter transformation In the litterof coniferous forests bacteria incorporated relatively more cellulose-derived C thanthat incorporated by fungi (31) Cellulose-C was accumulated mainly by Betaproteo-bacteria Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria Similar results were found in different pineforest soils in North America where members of the Proteobacteria (BurkholderialesCaulobacteriales Rhizobiales and Xanthomonadales) Bacteroidetes (Sphingobacteriales)and subdivision 1 Acidobacteria accumulated the most cellulose-derived C (32) Re-cently studies of deciduous forests reported that at least 10 of litter bacteria are ableto decompose cellulose Many of these bacteria belong to the Proteobacteria Actino-bacteria Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria but members of other phyla are also active(33 54) Considering the frequency of cellulolytic genes in bacterial genomes (30)bacterial involvement in decomposition seems to be a relatively common trait

While the acidic soils of coniferous forests harbor mainly Proteobacteria Acidobac-teria and Actinobacteria (8 55) in temperate deciduous forests litter bacterial com-munities seem to be especially enriched with Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (45 5657) Indeed significant differences in the chemical structure of litter and root exudatesamong tree species influence soil bacterial communities through changes in substratechemistry (45 58 59) Litter quality which includes the quantity of nutrients tissuestructure and the CN ratio varies between tree species and results in varying litterdecomposability (60ndash62) Higher litter quality is typically associated with faster litterturnover and the liberation of exchangeable basic cations such as Ca2 and Mg2helping to maintain low levels of soil acidification (63ndash65) When trees typical oftemperate and boreal forests were ranked in order of increasing acidification ability oftheir litter conifers appeared to be the most acidifying followed by beech oak andbirch Maple hornbeam ash and lime comprised the group with the least acidifyingforest trees (59) These effects of litter quality on soil nutrient status and pH indirectlydrive the bacterial community composition of forest soils and its activity (66ndash68)

The production of litter is not constant throughout the year it is limited to a shortautumnal period in deciduous forests These and other aspects of seasonality in thetemperate and boreal zones have been identified as key factors affecting the C inputinto the soil environment and its decomposition by soil bacteria Cold and dark wintersand warm summers with longer photoperiods affect the development and production

of foliage and consequently microbial community structure and activity in the litterand soil as well as in the foliage (69) Temperature differences affect decompositionrates by accelerating or decelerating enzymatic processes (55 70) On a shorter timescale selected weather events such as precipitation or snowmelt contribute to themobilization of nutrients that are washed into the forest soil and they representperiods of high microbial activity especially of fast-growing r-strategists (50)

During decomposition the chemical composition of litter changes with the gradualremoval of cellulose hemicellulose and lignin (58 71) In contrast to fungi bacteriainhabiting the phyllosphere of living leaves do not seem to be largely involved in litterdecomposition and are quickly replaced by other taxa (72) Proteobacteria and Bacte-roidetes are considered to be copiotrophs that preferentially consume the labile pool oforganic C (73) and are thus typical for freshly fallen litter The fresh litter is alsocharacterized by the quantitative dominance of fungi The biomass of bacteria in-creases gradually during decomposition (58 74) as does their diversity (57 72) Duringdecomposition the abundance of mycophagous bacteria coincides with the peak offungal biomass in the fresh litter In this stage of decomposition potentially mycolyticbacteria in Quercus litter represent as much as 40 of the total community (72)highlighting the importance of the fungal biomass as a nutrient source Bacterial taxathat associate with decomposing fungal mycelia represent a distinct subset of thebacterial community including members of the genera Pedobacter and Chitinophaga(Bacteroidetes) and Pseudomonas Variovorax Ewingella and Stenotrophomonas (Proteo-bacteria) (75) With ongoing litter decomposition the share of cellulolytic bacteriagradually increases (72)

Importantly a large proportion of plant inputs into forest soils are derived from organsother than leaves including fine roots seeds and twigs (76) While it has been shown thatthis type of litter represents an important source of soil organic matter (SOM) C (52 77)bacterial communities associated with this substrate remain unexplored

In addition to litter coarse deadwood is also an important structural component offorest ecosystems especially in unmanaged forests Wood debris represents a rich yetrecalcitrant source of organic matter mainly due to its physical impermeability andhigh lignin content These characteristics benefit filamentous macroscopic fungi (78)which are consequently the dominant decomposers of deadwood However bacteriaare also important inhabitants of decaying wood especially during the initial phases ofdecay (79 80) The physicochemical properties of wood that are tree specific such asthe density pH and water and N content determine the composition of bacterialcommunities (80 81) Proteobacteria Acidobacteria Actinobacteria and Firmicutes be-long to the most abundant phyla (79 80 82) Because fungal decomposition changesthe properties of wood substantially via the removal of easily available C acidificationand the production of fungal mycelia bacteria that can thrive at an acidic pH and utilizeC from fungal mycelia are positively selected (80 83 84) As observed for litterdecomposition the bacterial community in deadwood shows successional develop-ment with wood decay The assembly of the bacterial community appears to be astochastic process during the initial stage of wood decay and the bacterial abundancein fresh wood is very low with 02 109 16S rRNA copies g1 During decompositionthe bacterial abundance increases reaching levels as high as 3 109 to 13 109 16SrRNA copies g1 in highly decayed Picea abies wood with a density of 015 g cm3 (80)While the involvement of wood-associated bacteria in wood biopolymer decomposi-tion versus the use of substrates liberated by fungal decay remains largely unexploredrecent studies support a role for bacteria in other important processes including thedegradation of toxic wood compounds and N fixation Genera such as BurkholderiaPhenylobacterium and Methylovirgula which are abundant in the middle and latestages of wood decomposition are known to degrade aromatic compounds and to usemethanol as a sole carbon source (79 82) Moreover the N-fixation ability of bacteriathat are abundant during the late stages of wood decomposition (such as the membersof the Rhizobiales which may account for 25 of all bacteria in this phase) offers thepossibility of mutualistic interactions with fungi that provide C via wood decomposition

(82) Despite these initial studies little is still known about the community dynamics ofwood-inhabiting bacteria or their interactions with wood-decaying fungi (81) Consid-ering that multiple bacteria are able to utilize cellulose and other recalcitrant plantpolymers and that the fungal biomass is highly abundant in deadwood the involve-ment of bacteria in the decomposition of lignocellulose and fungal mycelia appears tobe highly probable

Bacteria in Forest Soils

Forest soils are among the most diverse microbial habitats on Earth in whichbacteria are the most abundant group of microorganisms (4 85) Forest soils arecharacterized by a sharp vertical stratification resulting from the decomposition oflitter-derived organic matter and the weathering of the mineral matrix The decreasingcontent and quality of organic matter with soil depth are accompanied by decreases inmicrobial biomass respiration and activity of extracellular enzymes For example in aQuercus petraea forest soil organic matter decreased 10-fold bacterial biomass 8-foldand enzyme activity 5-fold to 20-fold across the top 5 cm of the soil profile (86) Thetemperate forest soil profile typically comprises the organic horizon representing amixture of processed plant-derived organic matter and soil components and themineral soil horizon with a lower content of organic matter originating from both thedecomposition of organic matter and exudation from abundant tree roots The bacte-rial communities are horizon specific although they display a high level of taxonoverlap (56) For example the organic and mineral horizons in a temperate Quercusforest are dominated by Acidobacteria (accounting for 40 to 50 of all sequences)together with members of the Actinobacteria Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (56)Bacterial communities in coniferous forest soils also differ among horizons AlthoughAcidobacteria Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria are most abundant in organic as wellas mineral horizons the organic horizon is richer in Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (887) which have been proposed to preferentially utilize easily accessible carbon sub-strates (73 88) In contrast communities in the mineral soil harbor a larger proportionof Firmicutes and Chlorofexi organisms that are more adapted to the use of recalcitrantcarbon substrates and inorganic nutrients

The high abundance of Acidobacteria Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria acrossforest soils (87 89ndash92) appears to indicate their functional importance These threephyla also dominated the active fraction of a P abies soil comprising 80 to 90 ofrRNA molecules and were responsible for the bulk of bacterial transcription (8 55)

The soil bacterial community composition has been shown to display biogeograph-ical patterns on a continental scale that are predictable but differ from the well-studiedplant and animal community patterns (44) The first comprehensive study indicatedthat the soil pH is the most important driver of the bacterial community compositionand this observation was confirmed in multiple studies that focused specifically onforest soils (43 93ndash97) Whereas Acidobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria are abundant inacidic soils (8 96 98 99) the abundances of Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria increasewith a rising pH (43 94 100)

The preference of bacterial taxa for niches with certain nutrient contents andorganic matter quality is indicative of their ecological strategy The abundance ofAcidobacteria was initially negatively correlated with the C availability in soils corrob-orating the idea that Acidobacteria are slow-growing oligotrophs that have adapted toresource limitations (73 101 102) However the present results show that members ofthe Acidobacteria inhabit soils across a wide range of C contents representing onaverage 20 of all bacteria their abundance may exceed 60 in acidic forest soilswhere both the content of organic matter and the allocation of C by tree roots are high(43 103) Acidobacteria show a high level of metabolic versatility that allows them todecompose complex C substrates derived from the recalcitrant SOM pool (69 101)Recently subdivision 1 Acidobacteria from acidic coniferous forest soil were demon-strated to utilize C from cellulose and to produce high titers of extracellular enzymes(31 104) indicating their involvement in decomposition in these soils Unfortunately

due to their limited culturability little is known about the ecophysiology of othersubdivisions of Acidobacteria and the Planctomycetes except that they are common inforest soils (105 106) Verrucomicrobia which are also abundant in forest soils (56 107108) show an increased abundance with soil depth (109) but it is unclear whether thisis due to their preference for the oligotrophic environment or to the occupation ofspecific microniches Members of the phylum Bacteroidetes such as the genus Muci-laginibacter which are common in forest soils have been shown to be potent decom-posers of cellulose and other biopolymers (31 33 104)

Importantly some soil bacteria are involved in the weathering of minerals a processof great importance in nutrient-poor soils where minerals represent an important poolof inorganic nutrients (37 110) Members of the Betaproteobacteria such as the generaBurkholderia and Collimonas have been recognized as efficient mineral-weatheringbacteria These taxa are common in both deciduous and coniferous forest soils (31 56106 108 110ndash112)

For linking of the presence of bacteria or their activity to soil properties it isimportant that soil is a complex of microniches with heterogeneous physicochemicalproperties on various scales Because bacteria inhabit small niches the properties oftheir immediate environment rather than the mean soil properties affect the localbacterial community This spatial heterogeneity has been shown to result in theheterogeneity of bacterial communities on small scales of 1 cm (113) Furthermorelocal dispersal limitations can also remarkably influence the bacterial communitycomposition (93 114) Considering the high level of spatial variation of forest C stockson the same scale (115) the occurrence of individual taxa in forest soil may actually behighly variable on a small scale and may differ among activity hot spots such as therhizosphere and the bulk soil (49 50) The transient nature of some physicochemicalfactors such as soil moisture can strongly influence the physical connectivity of the soilmatrix affecting bacterial and nutrient dispersion and as a consequence rates of keysoil processes (116ndash118) Our ability to define and identify activity hot spots and toanalyze their properties as well as the abundance composition and function of theirbacterial inhabitants will be critical in future analyses to increase our mechanisticunderstanding of the roles of bacteria in biogeochemical processes

Rhizosphere Bacterial Communities

In temperate and boreal forests most C enters the soil food web via the roots in theform of labile C compounds such as sugars amino acids and organic acids (119 120)with approximately one-third of the plant net primary production (NPP) allocated toroots and soil (121) Indeed root exudation water and nutrient uptake by roots decayrespiration and physicochemical changes in soil are important factors influencing thecomposition and function of the microbial community in the rhizosphere with bio-geochemical consequences for the entire soils (46 122)

The roots and rhizospheres of trees as well as ground vegetation associate withfungi to form mycorrhiza While the ground vegetation mostly forms a symbioticrelationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi (29)more than 90 of forest trees in temperate and boreal zones participate in ectomy-corrhizal (ECM) symbiosis and only a minority of trees associate with AM (123) ThusECM is the quantitatively most prevalent and explored mycorrhizal type in forests (124)ECM fungi form mantels around tree root tips and their mycelia extend into surround-ing soils that are used to provide mineral nutrients to their hosts (62 124 125) Fungalassociations of AM with trees are much less common and are confined to a few treespecies (38) Due to the large absorptive area and exudation of labile compounds byECM hyphae the mycorrhizosphere and mycosphere represent important niches withfeatures that differ from the nonmycorrhizal rhizosphere and bulk soil hosting differentbacterial communities (62 126 127) The exudation of labile C by tree roots ormycorrhizal hyphae enhances the availability of C in the rhizosphere and consequentlythe microbial abundance and activity of extracellular enzymes in comparison to thosein the bulk soil (128ndash131) The input of labile C compounds into the rhizosphere selects

for bacterial strains with rapid growth and low-affinity substrate enzymes (r-strategists)that are enriched in comparison to the bulk soil profile (73 132) The quantity andquality of exudates select for specific microbial communities and the expression ofspecific genes and may prime the decomposition of recalcitrant organic matter (133134) Considering the seasonal changes in NPP seasonality is a major driver of microbialcommunity composition and functioning in the rhizosphere (135)

Despite the importance of the associated ecological processes bacterial communi-ties inhabiting rhizospheres in forests have been explored much less than those fromgrasslands or agricultural systems Recent studies from nonforest environments such asgrasslands (136 137) croplands (138ndash140) and other ecosystems (134 141ndash143)concluded that the rhizosphere contains a certain subset of the bulk soil microbiomewhich is enriched in members of the Proteobacteria Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes(136 140 142 143) The dominance of Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actino-bacteria and Bacteroidetes was also observed in the rhizospheres of beeches in amountainous forest (144) These observations suggest the enrichment of copiotrophicbacterial taxa (73 138 145)

The microbiomes surrounding the ECM roots and hyphae also differ from those in bulksoil (106 127 136) An enrichment of Proteobacteria (eg Burkholderia Rhizobium andPseudomonas) and Actinobacteria (such as Streptomyces) in the mycorrhizosphere wasreported based on culture-dependent studies (41 124 146ndash148) A recent molecular studyof Pinus sylvestris mycorrhizospheres indicated that the community composition is muchmore complex and includes both copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria (149)

Various roles ranging from mycorrhiza helpers to mycophages have been assignedto the ECM-associated bacteria (124) The mycorrhiza helper bacteria (MHB) isolatedfrom the mycorrhizospheres of different ECM symbionts either enhance the formationof mycorrhiza or support the previously established symbiosis (126 150 151) In themycorrhizosphere plants ECM fungi and bacteria form tripartite associations in whicheach player critically affects the metabolism of the others It has been proposed thatECM fungi select for bacterial communities through the exudation of low-molecular-weight compounds such as organic acids and amino acids (116 152) Different ECMfungi in a similar environment can host very similar bacterial communities that aresuited for this niche (146) MHB influence both ECM fungi and their plant host Forexample MHB from the genera Pseudomonas and Streptomyces promote mycorrhizaformation by modifying the gene expression of the ECM leading to acceleratedmycelial growth and stimulating the formation of new lateral roots (92 150 153)Rhizosphere bacteria also provide additional benefits to plants For example StreptomycesAcH 505 is an antagonist of plant pathogens and can induce defense mechanisms in Pabies and Quercus robur (125 154 155) Other very-well-known bacteria promoting plantvigor are endophytes such as the members of the genus Rhizobium which form noduleson the roots of Alnus plants fix gaseous N and provide it to their host

BACTERIAL INVOLVEMENT IN ECOSYSTEM PROCESSESRole of Bacteria in the Carbon Cycle

Forest soils store two-thirds of the terrestrial C (156) The flux of C is initiated by thefixation of atmospheric CO2 by photosynthesis and mediated by the allocation ofrecalcitrant and simple organic compounds into the soil (Fig 3) When plant debris andsimple organic compounds are decomposed and used by microorganisms to build theirbiomass some C is returned to the atmosphere via respiration Because root exudatescan readily be assimilated by soil microorganisms decomposition of the dead plantbiomass has been highlighted as the key process regulating C flow in soil systems thatinfluences the ratio between C mineralization and immobilization (156)

Recent studies indicated that bacteria play a more important role in the transfor-mation of the dead plant biomass than was previously assumed and significantlycontribute to decomposition processes in litter and soil (31ndash33) The plant biomass iscomposed largely of lignocellulose a highly organized and interlinked mix of differentpolymers that contains various amounts of cellulose hemicelluloses and lignin (157)

Because of the presence of hemicelluloses in a recalcitrant complex with lignincellulose represents the most accessible biopolymer and its degradation is thus akey step in the C cycle The most important enzymes involved in this process areendocellulases exocellulases and -glucosidases Together with these enzymes adiverse set of hemicellulases such as endoxylanases xylosidases xyloglucanasesendomannanases mannosidases fucosidases arabinosidases pectinases and ligni-nolytic enzymes are necessary for the hydrolysis of other polymers that are present inthe plant biomass (158) The genes encoding cellulases are present in 24 of allsequenced bacterial genomes (159) and glycosyl hydrolases that degrade other plantstructural biopolymers are also common (30) Recently Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar et al (33)isolated cellulolytic bacteria belonging to a variety of phyla from a deciduous foresttopsoil and they demonstrated for the first time the presence of cellulolytic membersamong some abundant soil genera eg Mucilaginibacter Luteibacter and PedobacterOther studies highlight the important ecological role of strains of the phyla Acidobac-teria and Actinobacteria as degraders of plant biomass polysaccharides in the acidicsoils of temperate forests (31 104 160)

Genomes of several forest soil bacteria encode proteins involved in decompositionof dead plant biomass (33 161ndash163) In addition to promotion by hydrolytic enzymesefficient hydrolysis is often promoted by the presence of carbohydrate-binding mod-ules (CBM) that are part of either the enzymes or bacterial cell surfaces (157) Genescoding for proteins that are involved in signal transduction nutrient binding andtransport are often found in the same operons as hydrolase genes Some of theseproteins such as the TonB-dependent receptors have been established as plantcarbohydrate scavengers (164) Other auxiliary proteins such as the substrate-bindingproteins (SBPs) from ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters have been shown to becapable of binding a variety of plant cell wall soluble and insoluble saccharidesincluding microcrystalline or amorphous cellulose xyloglucan xylan and mannan(165) The rich suite of these auxiliary proteins expressed by a Paenibacillus sp strainfrom a temperate forest soil suggests their important involvement in polysaccharide

decomposition (162) A suite of carbohydrate-binding proteins such as type IV pili andan atypical oxidative cellulase in a cellulolytic Luteibacter species from temperate forestsoil demonstrates the variability among the cellulolytic systems of bacteria whichremain far from being completely described (33 166 167) Since plant biomassrepresents a renewable and abundant resource for the production of environmentallyfriendly chemicals and biofuels (168) forest topsoils represent a rich potential source ofbacterial strains with biotechnological relevance (169 170)

Soil bacteria are also able to contribute to the breakdown of phenolic compoundsincluding lignin although their efficiency is typically much lower than that of fungi (34160) Ligninolytic bacteria can be found among the Proteobacteria (genera such asSphingomonas Burkholderia Enterobacter Ochrobacterium and Pseudomonas amongothers) Firmicutes (Bacillus and Paenibacillus) and Actinobacteria (Rhodococcus Myco-bacterium Microbacterium and Streptomyces) (35 171) and there is evidence thatpotentially ligninolytic taxa are common in soils For example abundant bacteriallaccase genes have been found in temperate hardwood forests (172) and bacterial taxapossessing laccases such as Burkholderia Bradyrhizobium and Azospirillum are highlyactive in forest soils (173) However even if the enzymology of bacterial lignin degra-dation is poorly understood compared to that for fungi bacteria may use ligninolyticperoxidases and laccases to reduce the toxicity of phenolic compounds rather than todegrade lignin

In addition to plant biomass fungal mycelia represent an important pool of organicmatter in forest litter and soil (174) Forest ecosystems are dominated by ectomycor-rhizal fungi (ECM) with a biomass of up to 600 kg ha1 (147 151) and the annualproduction of fungal mycelia in a spruce forest ranges from 100 to 300 kg ha1 (77)Fungal mycelia represent a large C and N pool that typically contains chitin and otherpolysaccharides such as glucans and glucomannans as well as phenolics such asmelanin (75 175) Fungal biomass represents a more readily decomposable substratethan lignocellulose and bacteria have been reported to be more important contribu-tors than fungi to its decomposition (75 176) The bacteria associated with fungalbiomass decomposition represent a specific subset of the litter and soil communitiesdominated by Pseudomonas Ewingella Pedobacter Variovorax Stenotrophomonas andChitinophaga genera that are known to produce chitinolytic enzymes (75) Chitinolyticenzymes which are represented by chitinases and N-acetylglucosaminidases appear tobe widespread in bacterial genomes especially Actinobacteria (30 177) The membersof this phylum often contain several chitinase genes as well as a diverse array ofcorresponding CBMs and they often also possess -13-glucanases thus encompassinga complex set of enzymes that potentially target fungal cell walls (178) Chitinaseproduction by soil bacteria is a complex adaptation that combines a nutritional strategywith potential involvement in the antagonistic interactions with fungi (178 179)Although the bacterial biomass in forest soils has a size similar to that of fungi (55) theprocess of bacterial cell wall polymer decomposition is far less understood Theinvolvement of Planctomycetes Verrucomicrobia Armatinomonadetes or candidate di-vision OD1 in the degradation of bacterial exopolysaccharides produced in soil wasrecently demonstrated (180)

Finally a large fraction of C in forest ecosystems is allocated belowground duringthe vegetation period via tree roots in the form of root exudates (181 182) Up to 40of newly photosynthesized C can be allocated to the soil via roots where it is rapidlyrespired or incorporated into the microbial biomass (183 184) The rhizosphereincluding the root-associated mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi is thus probably the mostimportant C allocation hot spot in forest soils and is strongly influenced by plant activity(185) Because ECM fungi cover most of the fine roots and root tips the largest fractionof this C is allocated to them (186) The fraction of assimilates that is exuded directlyfrom roots into the rhizosphere is estimated to range from 1 to 5 and is composedmainly of carbohydrates amino acids and organic acids (120 187) The rhizodepositionof C by plants exhibits severalfold seasonal differences that correspond to the intensityof photosynthesis throughout the year (182) While direct evidence of a net C flux from

plants to rhizosphere microbiota has been shown for many crops little is known aboutthe structure and function of bacterial and fungal communities that are activelyinvolved in the assimilation of root exudates in forest ecosystems (188) Althoughdecomposer fungi can find suitable conditions in the nonmycorrhizal rhizospheres oftrees this niche has traditionally been considered bacterium dominated because theirrapid growth favors their utilization of root exudates (185) Recent studies indicatedthat soil bacteria indeed use root exudates in forest soils (189) and the seasonalproduction of root exudates leads to an increase in bacterial biomass as well as in theshare of the rhizosphere- and mycorrhizosphere-specific bacteria in mineral soil insummer (56 70) In the same way as that of tree roots hyphae of ectomycorrhizal fungiexude low-molecular-weight organic compounds that support diverse bacterial com-munities (78 190) The rhizosphere of roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi is specificin that a portion of the plant-derived C is released into the soil through the ECMmycelium (155) As a consequence ECM fungi constitute a nutrient hot spot for othermicroorganisms because the fungal symbionts have a very large surface area andreceive a direct supply of photosynthetic C (149) Soil bacteria have been found to growabundantly and rapidly at the expense of the exudates from P sylvestris roots colonizedby Piloderma supporting a role for the bacteria in the metabolism of the organic acidsand other compounds produced by the fungus (152) The observation that thesebacteria are able to utilize fungal sugars more readily than plant sugars supports theexistence of a bacterial guild that is specialized for hyphal exudates (191)

Methane represents a gaseous form of organic C that can be oxidized by certainforest soil bacteria under aerobic conditions (192) These methanotrophic bacteria arethe main consumers of atmospheric methane as well as methane generated bymethanogenic archaea in waterlogged anaerobic horizons of certain soils (193ndash196)Due to the presence of methanotrophic bacteria forest soils (especially those of theboreal forests) may represent a sink of atmospheric methane Although methanotrophsare phylogenetically located in two bacterial phyla most of the characterized isolatesbelong to the Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria (197) The discovery ofnew acidophilic methanotrophs related to Verrucomicrobia recently revealed a higherlevel of diversity of methanotrophic bacteria in as yet unexplored acidic environments(198) In addition to using organic C sources certain soil bacteria are able to fix CO2These autotrophic taxa were described for the genus Bradyrhizobium (Betaproteobac-teria) whose members are abundant inhabitants of forest soils (199 200) and a recenttranscriptomic study confirmed the expression of the components of a photosyntheticapparatus in the Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria The input of C into forest soilsthrough fixation is however apparently minimal (55)

Role of Bacteria in Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycles

Nitrogen is the most common limiting nutrient in soils entering the ecosystemlargely through fixation (Fig 3) This process is dominated by bacteria that are esti-mated to be responsible for more than 95 of the N input in unmanaged environments(36 201) The presence of the nifH gene of the Alphaproteobacteria (BradyrhizobiumAzospirillum Hyphomicrobium and Gluconacetobacter) and Deltaproteobacteria (Geo-bacter spp) was observed in different temperate forest soils demonstrating the ubiq-uity of some N-fixing bacteria not only as symbiotic but also as free-living taxa (200)The observed diversity of N-fixing bacteria may rapidly change if there is an exogenousinput of N (36) Particularly in temperate forest soils that are strongly affected byanthropogenic N deposition N input is a good predictor of N fixation activity (202)

Nitrification and denitrification lead to the loss of N from soils through NO N2O andN2 gas emissions as well as through the leaching of NO3 if its concentration exceeds theecosystem retention capacity (203 204) Among these nitrous oxide is a particularlypowerful greenhouse gas with a potentially warming effect that is almost 300 timeslarger than that of CO2 (205) Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia tonitrate via a multienzymatic process The amoA gene encoding ammonia oxidasewhich performs the first step of nitrification is present in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria

(AOB) as well as ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) but AOB rather than AOA seem todominate in soils (206 207) The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is often limiting intemperate and boreal forest soils (208) All known AOB belong to the Betaproteobac-teria and Gammaproteobacteria and they are mostly represented by the genera Nitro-somonas Nitrosococcus and Nitrosospira Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira are furthersubdivided into clusters with different responses to environmental drivers such asacidity pH and ammonia availability and due to that changes in soil N availability canresult in dramatic shifts in the composition of the AOB community (206 208 209)Nitrosospira seems to be the most abundant AOB in acidic forest soils with low NH4

contents (206 210 211) The amoA gene content however appears to vary acrossforest soils (212) Nitrification rates seem to be correlated with the AOB abundance insoil (209 213) AOB are also involved in N losses from soil by producing N2O duringdenitrification (214) Denitrification is essential for the global N cycle maintaining thereduction of nitrate or nitrite to gaseous nitrogen compounds such as N2 and nitrousoxide The denitrification pathway is known as dissimilatory nitrate reduction becausenitrate or nitrogen oxides are the final electron acceptors allowing bacteria to produceenergy at the expense of reduced electron donors in the absence of oxygen Denitri-fying bacteria are not always able to perform all the steps of the dissimilatory pathwayand incomplete denitrification is the major source of N2O emissions from soils (215)Denitrification can be addressed by studying marker genes involved in the individualenzymatic steps such as the reduction of nitrate (narG) nitrite (nirKnirS) nitric oxide(norB) and nitrous oxide (nosZ) (205) Denitrifying bacteria are abundant and wide-spread in forest soils and denitrification genes have been found in bacterial strainsbelonging to the Acidobacteria Proteobacteria and Firmicutes as well as in otherbacterial phyla (216ndash218) A significant correlation was described among gene abun-dances denitrification rates and NO and N2O fluxes confirming the importance of theircarriers for the environmental processes that occur in forest soils (69 203 219) Inaddition to mineral N forms bacteria may obtain N from a range of organic compoundspresent in forest soils namely the chitin present in the polysaccharides of fungalmycelia and the amino acids and proteins in dead organic matter The utilization ofthese compounds is expected to be subject to intensive competition among ectomy-corrhizal fungi saprotrophic fungi and bacteria (146)

While the potential source of Nmdashthe atmospheremdashis theoretically unlimited this isnot the case for phosphorus (P) which is supplied mostly by weathering of minerals Pthus represents the limiting nutrient in many soils (Fig 3) Bacteria are importantmediators of the P cycle because some are able to solubilize mineral P while others mayimmobilize it in their biomass Unfortunately the involvement of bacteria in the P cyclehas received far less attention than that in the N and C cycles The main mechanismresponsible for P uptake by bacteria is through the solubilization and uptake ofinorganic P its most abundant source The ability to solubilize inorganic P has beendescribed for different bacteria and ectomycorrhizal fungi present in the rhizosphereand soil This ability is related to the release of organic anions such as citrategluconate oxalate and succinate into the soil (220) Phosphatase enzymes releasephosphate from organic phosphate esters during organic matter decay (221) In arecent metagenomic analysis of temperate forest soils it was highlighted that membersof the Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria dom-inated the processes related to P turnover (222 223) While genes related to Psolubilization are more abundant in P-rich soil those that play a role in P uptakesystems are more abundant in P-limited soil (222)

EFFECTS OF GLOBAL CHANGE ON BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES IN FORESTECOSYSTEMS

mount importance for prediction of the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatechange (224) Future climatic conditions are predicted to produce tree species migra-tion (225 226) an increase in extreme events such as droughts and wildfires and anincrease in vegetation productivity due to longer growth seasons (13 227 228) Theseeffects in combination with other phenomena such as increased N deposition maycause dramatic shifts in global C fluxes in particular affecting the boreal and temperateforests of the northern continental regions (229ndash231) The high diversity of C com-pounds released into the soils and the complex structures of bacterial and fungalcommunities with their overlapping functions create a very complex system that isdifficult to incorporate into predictive models (16) The complex nonlinear interactionsbetween forest and atmosphere have the capacity to constrain or amplify climatechange-associated processes depending on the activity of soil bacteria and fungi(232ndash234) Recent studies investigating the effects of global change on ecosystemproperties offer the first clues to the prediction of future developments (Table 1)

Carbon Dioxide

Increasing CO2 concentrations are predicted to boost NPP in boreal and temperateforests (235) however their capacity to maintain such high levels of NPP will stronglydepend on their ability to overcome nutrient limitations (236) Unfortunately thedegree to which forests will persist as C sinks remains uncertain (237) in particular therhizosphere priming effect may be reduced and the increased NPP may increase soil Cstorage (238 239) It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset byC sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of bothtrees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions

Thus how do CO2 levels affect bacterial populations in forest topsoils And is itpossible to generalize the observations obtained across ecosystems for different soilswith various vegetations The effects of elevated CO2 levels do not directly affect soilbacterial populations CO2 concentrations in soil pores are normally higher than thosein the atmosphere and the response of bacteria to small CO2 changes is thus negligible(240) As a result the observed effects are mostly indirectly driven by altered plantproduction and root exudation which are both tree species specific In additionchanges in organic acid exudation by mycorrhizal fungi as a result of the presence ofCO2 will affect the bacterial community composition (152) and this process alsodepends on the vegetation properties It is difficult to determine whether the functionalresponses of bacterial communities to CO2 will be similar across forests or will dependon soil and vegetation characteristics The expected increase in root exudation shouldgenerally favor the development of soil copiotrophic bacteria over specialized olig-otrophs A good example of this response is the decrease in abundance of oligotrophicAcidobacteria in various soils following an increase in CO2 (144 152 238 240) Such ageneral response is rather exceptional considering that different members of the samephylum often respond differently to the same disturbance (241) The increased abun-dance of certain bacterial taxa will have functional consequences only if their functionaltraits do not change in response to the treatment which may explain the sometimescontroversial results obtained for responses to CO2 in different forest soils despite thefairly consistent response of bacterial abundance after an increase in CO2 (238 240242) For example while some studies have indicated that an elevated CO2 level doesnot affect the AOB abundance or nitrifying activity (207) others have described anincrease in nitrification or nitrifying taxa (240 243) even in an unaltered bacterialcommunity Thus it is unclear whether the effects of increased CO2 levels on bacterialbiomass richness community composition and functionality will be consistent acrossdifferent forest ecosystems

Global Warming

The rise in temperature is intimately linked to the increased CO2 concentration inthe atmosphere because the latter largely causes the former Although both processesappear globally the extent of the rise in temperature is predicted to be pronounced in

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Page 2: Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem ...and boreal forests. Although most studies have focused on fungi, forest soil bac-teria also play important roles in this

INTRODUCTION

Forests represent one of the largest and most important ecosystems on Earthcovering more than 40 million km2 and representing 30 of the total global land

area (1) Forest ecosystems are found in most of Earthrsquos biomes and harbor a largeproportion of the global diversity For example temperate and boreal forests occupymost of the land surface of the Northern Hemisphere and contain 46 of all trees onEarthmdash 066 and 074 trillion respectively (2) Due to their global extension theprocesses occurring in these two biomes are of global importance and an understand-ing of the composition and function of their microbiomes is thus essential (Fig 1)

Forests typically represent important carbon (C) sinks with large amounts of recal-citrant organic matter in their soils especially the temperate forest soils which receivetons of litter per hectare yearly (3) The presence of large trees distinguishes forestsfrom grasslands wetlands and agricultural areas in multiple ways (4) Trees representa multitude of habitats such as the phyllosphere or rhizosphere but they also sub-stantially affect the remaining parts of the ecosystem This is mainly because as thedominant primary producers they supply the bulk of the C that enters the ecosystemand while some of this C is in the form of simple organic molecules a significantfraction such as the complex biomass of wood litter or roots is composed ofrecalcitrant biopolymers (4) Trees also largely contribute to the spatial heterogeneity offorest ecosystems by multiple means including the penetration of soils by variousguilds of roots generation of patches of litter and ground vegetation and changes ofthe morphology of the terrain during uprooting or the production of deadwood (4 5)

Temperate forests extend approximately from latitudes 25degN to 50degN graduallychanging into boreal forests further north (6) The southern limit of boreal forests isunderstood as the latitude at which conifers are competitively excluded by temperatetree species with higher rates of photosynthesis There is however no distinct bound-ary between the two biomes but rather a broad transition zone that includes a mix ofconiferous and deciduous tree species (7) Temperate forests are characterized bytemperature ranges between 30 and 30degC with hot summers and cold winters andwith 750 to 1300 mm of precipitation per year Boreal forestsmdash or mountainous forestsin the temperate zonemdashface lower temperatures with cold winters lasting more than6 months and average summer temperatures of around 10degC Despite the lowerprecipitation levels (300 to 900 mm of rain per year) boreal forests are typically moistbecause of the reduced evaporation at low temperatures In addition other factorssuch as elevation substrate drainage physical soil properties and nutrient availabilityare also responsible for the distribution of forest types on landscape scales

Temperate forests are composed of a large variety of deciduous trees whileconiferous trees dominate temperate forests at higher altitudes but also occur fre-quently in plantation forests (8 9) Boreal forests exhibit a reduced tree diversity witha larger proportion of coniferous trees (10)

Although temperate and boreal forests fulfill several important ecosystem servicestheir role as large C sinks has gained specific interest in recent decades especially in thecontext of global change Recent approximations indicate that the current C stockstored in forests worldwide is approximately 861 Pg of which 44 is in soil 42 inabove- and belowground biomass 8 in deadwood and 5 in litter (11) Of the globalstock of C stored by forests boreal forests contain 32 and temperate forests another14 indicating that their importance for global C sequestration is equivalent to that oftropical forests (11) The large amount of stored C has the potential to influence thefeedback between the climate and the global C cycle (12) In this sense global changeincluding both climate change and other changes linked to human activities has beenrecognized as a major threat to forests (13) Over the millennia human overexploitationhas been the most important risk for forests and the C balance of forests is largelyaffected by human activities including deforestation the management of productionforest reforestation afforestation and others (11 14) Other disturbances that areassociated with climate change and atmospheric drivers are also affecting the C

balance of forests In this sense the effects of increasing temperature persistence ofdroughts recurrence of fires or expansion of native and invasive forest pests togetherwith the increasing loads of nitrogen (N) and carbon dioxide affect forest nutrient cyclesto a level where forests may potentially become net sources rather than sinks of CO2

(12 13 15) Therefore a better understanding of the role of forests in C fluxes that arelargely dependent on the activity of bacteria and fungi has been highlighted as anessential prerequisite for projecting future predictions of the health of our planet (16)

While plants are the key drivers of C uptake from the atmosphere in forests forestmicroorganisms contribute greatly to the C balance in these ecosystems They play animportant role as decomposers symbionts or pathogens influencing the C turnoverand retention and the availability of other nutrients (17ndash19) Microbial communities arevital in mediating the biogeochemical cycles and an understanding of their role inecosystem processes is essential for the prediction of the forest response to futureenvironmental conditions (8 17 20)

Fungi are the most well-studied microbes in temperate and boreal forest soils thatharbor abundant and diverse communities of saprotrophic and mycorrhizal fungal taxa(12 21 22) Fungi are considered the main decomposers in forest soils because of theirability to produce a wide range of extracellular enzymes that allow them to efficientlydegrade the recalcitrant fraction of dead plant biomass (23ndash25) Moreover mycorrhizalfungi play a pivotal role in the mobilization and sequestration of N and P in the forestsoil and are also responsible for significant soil transport of C (26ndash29) It is not surprisingthat most of the research on forest soil ecology so far has focused on fungi (18 19) Thistraditional emphasis on fungi however is slowly shifting with an increasing appreci-ation of the role of bacteria as the other major component of forest ecosystems (19)

Bacteria represent another important though less explored integral part of themicrobial community in forest soils For example recent findings indicate that bacteriacommonly harbor genes encoding plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (30) and contrib-

ute significantly to the decomposition of organic matter (31ndash35) In addition bacteriaare the major natural agents responsible for N fixation in forest ecosystems (36) and forother ecosystem processes such as mineral weathering leading to the release ofinorganic nutrients (37) The roles of bacteria and fungi however should not be viewedas separate The high abundance of fungal biomass in forest soils has multiple conse-quences for bacteria including the creation of specific niches in the soil patchescolonized by mycorrhizal fungi (ie the mycorrhizosphere) and soil mycelial mats (3839) provision of nutrients via organic matter decomposition (40) and an increase in soilconnectivity by fungal mycelia that allow certain bacteria to move across the environ-ment (41) Conversely the functioning of mycorrhiza is modulated by mycorrhizahelper bacteria (MHB) (42)

It is only recently that advances in analytical methods have allowed us to assess therole of bacteria in the complex forest ecosystem and to address the important ques-tions that previously remained unanswered such as the following Which habitats dobacteria inhabit and what are the major drivers of their abundance and diversity Whatis their role in nutrient cycling and the C balance How do they interact with otherforest organisms How do they respond to climate change and how does this responseaffect ecosystem processes The aim of this review is to answer these questions fortemperate and boreal forests to summarize the present knowledge about the role ofbacteria in ecosystem processes and about their response to global change as well asto motivate further research in the bacterial ecology of forests

BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES IN FOREST ECOSYSTEMS

Forest ecosystems provide a broad range of habitats for bacteria including soil andplant tissues and surfaces streams and rocks among others but bacteria seem to beespecially abundant on the forest floor in soil and litter (4) Five phyla AcidobacteriaActinobacteria Proteobacteria Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes appear to be abundant inmost soils (43) In addition to pH which seems to be the most important driver of thebacterial community composition in soils organic matter content nutrient availabilityclimate conditions and biotic interactions (especially the effect of vegetation) affect thecomposition of bacterial communities (43ndash47) The spatial variation of these parametersis responsible for the presence of hot spots of microbial activity with increasedabundance and activity in the soil such as in and on plant debris including litter anddeadwood or on and around plant roots (48ndash50) Each of these niches has specificproperties and consequently a specific bacterial community (Fig 2)

Bacterial Communities on Plant Litter and Deadwood

Due to the activity of primary producers dead plant biomassmdashlitter and dead-woodmdashrepresents the most important C sources for forest soil microbes The estimated1011 tons of fallen leaf litter that accumulates yearly on the forest floor surface and itstransformation are of great importance for the cycling of C and other nutrients (51ndash53)The litter habitat is dominated by a diverse community of fungi that have traditionallybeen considered to be key players in litter decomposition In addition to fungi recentstudies have demonstrated an active role of bacteria in litter transformation In the litterof coniferous forests bacteria incorporated relatively more cellulose-derived C thanthat incorporated by fungi (31) Cellulose-C was accumulated mainly by Betaproteo-bacteria Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria Similar results were found in different pineforest soils in North America where members of the Proteobacteria (BurkholderialesCaulobacteriales Rhizobiales and Xanthomonadales) Bacteroidetes (Sphingobacteriales)and subdivision 1 Acidobacteria accumulated the most cellulose-derived C (32) Re-cently studies of deciduous forests reported that at least 10 of litter bacteria are ableto decompose cellulose Many of these bacteria belong to the Proteobacteria Actino-bacteria Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria but members of other phyla are also active(33 54) Considering the frequency of cellulolytic genes in bacterial genomes (30)bacterial involvement in decomposition seems to be a relatively common trait

While the acidic soils of coniferous forests harbor mainly Proteobacteria Acidobac-teria and Actinobacteria (8 55) in temperate deciduous forests litter bacterial com-munities seem to be especially enriched with Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (45 5657) Indeed significant differences in the chemical structure of litter and root exudatesamong tree species influence soil bacterial communities through changes in substratechemistry (45 58 59) Litter quality which includes the quantity of nutrients tissuestructure and the CN ratio varies between tree species and results in varying litterdecomposability (60ndash62) Higher litter quality is typically associated with faster litterturnover and the liberation of exchangeable basic cations such as Ca2 and Mg2helping to maintain low levels of soil acidification (63ndash65) When trees typical oftemperate and boreal forests were ranked in order of increasing acidification ability oftheir litter conifers appeared to be the most acidifying followed by beech oak andbirch Maple hornbeam ash and lime comprised the group with the least acidifyingforest trees (59) These effects of litter quality on soil nutrient status and pH indirectlydrive the bacterial community composition of forest soils and its activity (66ndash68)

The production of litter is not constant throughout the year it is limited to a shortautumnal period in deciduous forests These and other aspects of seasonality in thetemperate and boreal zones have been identified as key factors affecting the C inputinto the soil environment and its decomposition by soil bacteria Cold and dark wintersand warm summers with longer photoperiods affect the development and production

of foliage and consequently microbial community structure and activity in the litterand soil as well as in the foliage (69) Temperature differences affect decompositionrates by accelerating or decelerating enzymatic processes (55 70) On a shorter timescale selected weather events such as precipitation or snowmelt contribute to themobilization of nutrients that are washed into the forest soil and they representperiods of high microbial activity especially of fast-growing r-strategists (50)

During decomposition the chemical composition of litter changes with the gradualremoval of cellulose hemicellulose and lignin (58 71) In contrast to fungi bacteriainhabiting the phyllosphere of living leaves do not seem to be largely involved in litterdecomposition and are quickly replaced by other taxa (72) Proteobacteria and Bacte-roidetes are considered to be copiotrophs that preferentially consume the labile pool oforganic C (73) and are thus typical for freshly fallen litter The fresh litter is alsocharacterized by the quantitative dominance of fungi The biomass of bacteria in-creases gradually during decomposition (58 74) as does their diversity (57 72) Duringdecomposition the abundance of mycophagous bacteria coincides with the peak offungal biomass in the fresh litter In this stage of decomposition potentially mycolyticbacteria in Quercus litter represent as much as 40 of the total community (72)highlighting the importance of the fungal biomass as a nutrient source Bacterial taxathat associate with decomposing fungal mycelia represent a distinct subset of thebacterial community including members of the genera Pedobacter and Chitinophaga(Bacteroidetes) and Pseudomonas Variovorax Ewingella and Stenotrophomonas (Proteo-bacteria) (75) With ongoing litter decomposition the share of cellulolytic bacteriagradually increases (72)

Importantly a large proportion of plant inputs into forest soils are derived from organsother than leaves including fine roots seeds and twigs (76) While it has been shown thatthis type of litter represents an important source of soil organic matter (SOM) C (52 77)bacterial communities associated with this substrate remain unexplored

In addition to litter coarse deadwood is also an important structural component offorest ecosystems especially in unmanaged forests Wood debris represents a rich yetrecalcitrant source of organic matter mainly due to its physical impermeability andhigh lignin content These characteristics benefit filamentous macroscopic fungi (78)which are consequently the dominant decomposers of deadwood However bacteriaare also important inhabitants of decaying wood especially during the initial phases ofdecay (79 80) The physicochemical properties of wood that are tree specific such asthe density pH and water and N content determine the composition of bacterialcommunities (80 81) Proteobacteria Acidobacteria Actinobacteria and Firmicutes be-long to the most abundant phyla (79 80 82) Because fungal decomposition changesthe properties of wood substantially via the removal of easily available C acidificationand the production of fungal mycelia bacteria that can thrive at an acidic pH and utilizeC from fungal mycelia are positively selected (80 83 84) As observed for litterdecomposition the bacterial community in deadwood shows successional develop-ment with wood decay The assembly of the bacterial community appears to be astochastic process during the initial stage of wood decay and the bacterial abundancein fresh wood is very low with 02 109 16S rRNA copies g1 During decompositionthe bacterial abundance increases reaching levels as high as 3 109 to 13 109 16SrRNA copies g1 in highly decayed Picea abies wood with a density of 015 g cm3 (80)While the involvement of wood-associated bacteria in wood biopolymer decomposi-tion versus the use of substrates liberated by fungal decay remains largely unexploredrecent studies support a role for bacteria in other important processes including thedegradation of toxic wood compounds and N fixation Genera such as BurkholderiaPhenylobacterium and Methylovirgula which are abundant in the middle and latestages of wood decomposition are known to degrade aromatic compounds and to usemethanol as a sole carbon source (79 82) Moreover the N-fixation ability of bacteriathat are abundant during the late stages of wood decomposition (such as the membersof the Rhizobiales which may account for 25 of all bacteria in this phase) offers thepossibility of mutualistic interactions with fungi that provide C via wood decomposition

(82) Despite these initial studies little is still known about the community dynamics ofwood-inhabiting bacteria or their interactions with wood-decaying fungi (81) Consid-ering that multiple bacteria are able to utilize cellulose and other recalcitrant plantpolymers and that the fungal biomass is highly abundant in deadwood the involve-ment of bacteria in the decomposition of lignocellulose and fungal mycelia appears tobe highly probable

Forest soils are among the most diverse microbial habitats on Earth in whichbacteria are the most abundant group of microorganisms (4 85) Forest soils arecharacterized by a sharp vertical stratification resulting from the decomposition oflitter-derived organic matter and the weathering of the mineral matrix The decreasingcontent and quality of organic matter with soil depth are accompanied by decreases inmicrobial biomass respiration and activity of extracellular enzymes For example in aQuercus petraea forest soil organic matter decreased 10-fold bacterial biomass 8-foldand enzyme activity 5-fold to 20-fold across the top 5 cm of the soil profile (86) Thetemperate forest soil profile typically comprises the organic horizon representing amixture of processed plant-derived organic matter and soil components and themineral soil horizon with a lower content of organic matter originating from both thedecomposition of organic matter and exudation from abundant tree roots The bacte-rial communities are horizon specific although they display a high level of taxonoverlap (56) For example the organic and mineral horizons in a temperate Quercusforest are dominated by Acidobacteria (accounting for 40 to 50 of all sequences)together with members of the Actinobacteria Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (56)Bacterial communities in coniferous forest soils also differ among horizons AlthoughAcidobacteria Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria are most abundant in organic as wellas mineral horizons the organic horizon is richer in Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (887) which have been proposed to preferentially utilize easily accessible carbon sub-strates (73 88) In contrast communities in the mineral soil harbor a larger proportionof Firmicutes and Chlorofexi organisms that are more adapted to the use of recalcitrantcarbon substrates and inorganic nutrients

The high abundance of Acidobacteria Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria acrossforest soils (87 89ndash92) appears to indicate their functional importance These threephyla also dominated the active fraction of a P abies soil comprising 80 to 90 ofrRNA molecules and were responsible for the bulk of bacterial transcription (8 55)

The soil bacterial community composition has been shown to display biogeograph-ical patterns on a continental scale that are predictable but differ from the well-studiedplant and animal community patterns (44) The first comprehensive study indicatedthat the soil pH is the most important driver of the bacterial community compositionand this observation was confirmed in multiple studies that focused specifically onforest soils (43 93ndash97) Whereas Acidobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria are abundant inacidic soils (8 96 98 99) the abundances of Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria increasewith a rising pH (43 94 100)

The preference of bacterial taxa for niches with certain nutrient contents andorganic matter quality is indicative of their ecological strategy The abundance ofAcidobacteria was initially negatively correlated with the C availability in soils corrob-orating the idea that Acidobacteria are slow-growing oligotrophs that have adapted toresource limitations (73 101 102) However the present results show that members ofthe Acidobacteria inhabit soils across a wide range of C contents representing onaverage 20 of all bacteria their abundance may exceed 60 in acidic forest soilswhere both the content of organic matter and the allocation of C by tree roots are high(43 103) Acidobacteria show a high level of metabolic versatility that allows them todecompose complex C substrates derived from the recalcitrant SOM pool (69 101)Recently subdivision 1 Acidobacteria from acidic coniferous forest soil were demon-strated to utilize C from cellulose and to produce high titers of extracellular enzymes(31 104) indicating their involvement in decomposition in these soils Unfortunately

due to their limited culturability little is known about the ecophysiology of othersubdivisions of Acidobacteria and the Planctomycetes except that they are common inforest soils (105 106) Verrucomicrobia which are also abundant in forest soils (56 107108) show an increased abundance with soil depth (109) but it is unclear whether thisis due to their preference for the oligotrophic environment or to the occupation ofspecific microniches Members of the phylum Bacteroidetes such as the genus Muci-laginibacter which are common in forest soils have been shown to be potent decom-posers of cellulose and other biopolymers (31 33 104)

Importantly some soil bacteria are involved in the weathering of minerals a processof great importance in nutrient-poor soils where minerals represent an important poolof inorganic nutrients (37 110) Members of the Betaproteobacteria such as the generaBurkholderia and Collimonas have been recognized as efficient mineral-weatheringbacteria These taxa are common in both deciduous and coniferous forest soils (31 56106 108 110ndash112)

For linking of the presence of bacteria or their activity to soil properties it isimportant that soil is a complex of microniches with heterogeneous physicochemicalproperties on various scales Because bacteria inhabit small niches the properties oftheir immediate environment rather than the mean soil properties affect the localbacterial community This spatial heterogeneity has been shown to result in theheterogeneity of bacterial communities on small scales of 1 cm (113) Furthermorelocal dispersal limitations can also remarkably influence the bacterial communitycomposition (93 114) Considering the high level of spatial variation of forest C stockson the same scale (115) the occurrence of individual taxa in forest soil may actually behighly variable on a small scale and may differ among activity hot spots such as therhizosphere and the bulk soil (49 50) The transient nature of some physicochemicalfactors such as soil moisture can strongly influence the physical connectivity of the soilmatrix affecting bacterial and nutrient dispersion and as a consequence rates of keysoil processes (116ndash118) Our ability to define and identify activity hot spots and toanalyze their properties as well as the abundance composition and function of theirbacterial inhabitants will be critical in future analyses to increase our mechanisticunderstanding of the roles of bacteria in biogeochemical processes

Rhizosphere Bacterial Communities

In temperate and boreal forests most C enters the soil food web via the roots in theform of labile C compounds such as sugars amino acids and organic acids (119 120)with approximately one-third of the plant net primary production (NPP) allocated toroots and soil (121) Indeed root exudation water and nutrient uptake by roots decayrespiration and physicochemical changes in soil are important factors influencing thecomposition and function of the microbial community in the rhizosphere with bio-geochemical consequences for the entire soils (46 122)

The roots and rhizospheres of trees as well as ground vegetation associate withfungi to form mycorrhiza While the ground vegetation mostly forms a symbioticrelationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi (29)more than 90 of forest trees in temperate and boreal zones participate in ectomy-corrhizal (ECM) symbiosis and only a minority of trees associate with AM (123) ThusECM is the quantitatively most prevalent and explored mycorrhizal type in forests (124)ECM fungi form mantels around tree root tips and their mycelia extend into surround-ing soils that are used to provide mineral nutrients to their hosts (62 124 125) Fungalassociations of AM with trees are much less common and are confined to a few treespecies (38) Due to the large absorptive area and exudation of labile compounds byECM hyphae the mycorrhizosphere and mycosphere represent important niches withfeatures that differ from the nonmycorrhizal rhizosphere and bulk soil hosting differentbacterial communities (62 126 127) The exudation of labile C by tree roots ormycorrhizal hyphae enhances the availability of C in the rhizosphere and consequentlythe microbial abundance and activity of extracellular enzymes in comparison to thosein the bulk soil (128ndash131) The input of labile C compounds into the rhizosphere selects

for bacterial strains with rapid growth and low-affinity substrate enzymes (r-strategists)that are enriched in comparison to the bulk soil profile (73 132) The quantity andquality of exudates select for specific microbial communities and the expression ofspecific genes and may prime the decomposition of recalcitrant organic matter (133134) Considering the seasonal changes in NPP seasonality is a major driver of microbialcommunity composition and functioning in the rhizosphere (135)

Despite the importance of the associated ecological processes bacterial communi-ties inhabiting rhizospheres in forests have been explored much less than those fromgrasslands or agricultural systems Recent studies from nonforest environments such asgrasslands (136 137) croplands (138ndash140) and other ecosystems (134 141ndash143)concluded that the rhizosphere contains a certain subset of the bulk soil microbiomewhich is enriched in members of the Proteobacteria Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes(136 140 142 143) The dominance of Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actino-bacteria and Bacteroidetes was also observed in the rhizospheres of beeches in amountainous forest (144) These observations suggest the enrichment of copiotrophicbacterial taxa (73 138 145)

The microbiomes surrounding the ECM roots and hyphae also differ from those in bulksoil (106 127 136) An enrichment of Proteobacteria (eg Burkholderia Rhizobium andPseudomonas) and Actinobacteria (such as Streptomyces) in the mycorrhizosphere wasreported based on culture-dependent studies (41 124 146ndash148) A recent molecular studyof Pinus sylvestris mycorrhizospheres indicated that the community composition is muchmore complex and includes both copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria (149)

Various roles ranging from mycorrhiza helpers to mycophages have been assignedto the ECM-associated bacteria (124) The mycorrhiza helper bacteria (MHB) isolatedfrom the mycorrhizospheres of different ECM symbionts either enhance the formationof mycorrhiza or support the previously established symbiosis (126 150 151) In themycorrhizosphere plants ECM fungi and bacteria form tripartite associations in whicheach player critically affects the metabolism of the others It has been proposed thatECM fungi select for bacterial communities through the exudation of low-molecular-weight compounds such as organic acids and amino acids (116 152) Different ECMfungi in a similar environment can host very similar bacterial communities that aresuited for this niche (146) MHB influence both ECM fungi and their plant host Forexample MHB from the genera Pseudomonas and Streptomyces promote mycorrhizaformation by modifying the gene expression of the ECM leading to acceleratedmycelial growth and stimulating the formation of new lateral roots (92 150 153)Rhizosphere bacteria also provide additional benefits to plants For example StreptomycesAcH 505 is an antagonist of plant pathogens and can induce defense mechanisms in Pabies and Quercus robur (125 154 155) Other very-well-known bacteria promoting plantvigor are endophytes such as the members of the genus Rhizobium which form noduleson the roots of Alnus plants fix gaseous N and provide it to their host

BACTERIAL INVOLVEMENT IN ECOSYSTEM PROCESSESRole of Bacteria in the Carbon Cycle

Forest soils store two-thirds of the terrestrial C (156) The flux of C is initiated by thefixation of atmospheric CO2 by photosynthesis and mediated by the allocation ofrecalcitrant and simple organic compounds into the soil (Fig 3) When plant debris andsimple organic compounds are decomposed and used by microorganisms to build theirbiomass some C is returned to the atmosphere via respiration Because root exudatescan readily be assimilated by soil microorganisms decomposition of the dead plantbiomass has been highlighted as the key process regulating C flow in soil systems thatinfluences the ratio between C mineralization and immobilization (156)

Recent studies indicated that bacteria play a more important role in the transfor-mation of the dead plant biomass than was previously assumed and significantlycontribute to decomposition processes in litter and soil (31ndash33) The plant biomass iscomposed largely of lignocellulose a highly organized and interlinked mix of differentpolymers that contains various amounts of cellulose hemicelluloses and lignin (157)

Because of the presence of hemicelluloses in a recalcitrant complex with lignincellulose represents the most accessible biopolymer and its degradation is thus akey step in the C cycle The most important enzymes involved in this process areendocellulases exocellulases and -glucosidases Together with these enzymes adiverse set of hemicellulases such as endoxylanases xylosidases xyloglucanasesendomannanases mannosidases fucosidases arabinosidases pectinases and ligni-nolytic enzymes are necessary for the hydrolysis of other polymers that are present inthe plant biomass (158) The genes encoding cellulases are present in 24 of allsequenced bacterial genomes (159) and glycosyl hydrolases that degrade other plantstructural biopolymers are also common (30) Recently Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar et al (33)isolated cellulolytic bacteria belonging to a variety of phyla from a deciduous foresttopsoil and they demonstrated for the first time the presence of cellulolytic membersamong some abundant soil genera eg Mucilaginibacter Luteibacter and PedobacterOther studies highlight the important ecological role of strains of the phyla Acidobac-teria and Actinobacteria as degraders of plant biomass polysaccharides in the acidicsoils of temperate forests (31 104 160)

Genomes of several forest soil bacteria encode proteins involved in decompositionof dead plant biomass (33 161ndash163) In addition to promotion by hydrolytic enzymesefficient hydrolysis is often promoted by the presence of carbohydrate-binding mod-ules (CBM) that are part of either the enzymes or bacterial cell surfaces (157) Genescoding for proteins that are involved in signal transduction nutrient binding andtransport are often found in the same operons as hydrolase genes Some of theseproteins such as the TonB-dependent receptors have been established as plantcarbohydrate scavengers (164) Other auxiliary proteins such as the substrate-bindingproteins (SBPs) from ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters have been shown to becapable of binding a variety of plant cell wall soluble and insoluble saccharidesincluding microcrystalline or amorphous cellulose xyloglucan xylan and mannan(165) The rich suite of these auxiliary proteins expressed by a Paenibacillus sp strainfrom a temperate forest soil suggests their important involvement in polysaccharide

decomposition (162) A suite of carbohydrate-binding proteins such as type IV pili andan atypical oxidative cellulase in a cellulolytic Luteibacter species from temperate forestsoil demonstrates the variability among the cellulolytic systems of bacteria whichremain far from being completely described (33 166 167) Since plant biomassrepresents a renewable and abundant resource for the production of environmentallyfriendly chemicals and biofuels (168) forest topsoils represent a rich potential source ofbacterial strains with biotechnological relevance (169 170)

Soil bacteria are also able to contribute to the breakdown of phenolic compoundsincluding lignin although their efficiency is typically much lower than that of fungi (34160) Ligninolytic bacteria can be found among the Proteobacteria (genera such asSphingomonas Burkholderia Enterobacter Ochrobacterium and Pseudomonas amongothers) Firmicutes (Bacillus and Paenibacillus) and Actinobacteria (Rhodococcus Myco-bacterium Microbacterium and Streptomyces) (35 171) and there is evidence thatpotentially ligninolytic taxa are common in soils For example abundant bacteriallaccase genes have been found in temperate hardwood forests (172) and bacterial taxapossessing laccases such as Burkholderia Bradyrhizobium and Azospirillum are highlyactive in forest soils (173) However even if the enzymology of bacterial lignin degra-dation is poorly understood compared to that for fungi bacteria may use ligninolyticperoxidases and laccases to reduce the toxicity of phenolic compounds rather than todegrade lignin

In addition to plant biomass fungal mycelia represent an important pool of organicmatter in forest litter and soil (174) Forest ecosystems are dominated by ectomycor-rhizal fungi (ECM) with a biomass of up to 600 kg ha1 (147 151) and the annualproduction of fungal mycelia in a spruce forest ranges from 100 to 300 kg ha1 (77)Fungal mycelia represent a large C and N pool that typically contains chitin and otherpolysaccharides such as glucans and glucomannans as well as phenolics such asmelanin (75 175) Fungal biomass represents a more readily decomposable substratethan lignocellulose and bacteria have been reported to be more important contribu-tors than fungi to its decomposition (75 176) The bacteria associated with fungalbiomass decomposition represent a specific subset of the litter and soil communitiesdominated by Pseudomonas Ewingella Pedobacter Variovorax Stenotrophomonas andChitinophaga genera that are known to produce chitinolytic enzymes (75) Chitinolyticenzymes which are represented by chitinases and N-acetylglucosaminidases appear tobe widespread in bacterial genomes especially Actinobacteria (30 177) The membersof this phylum often contain several chitinase genes as well as a diverse array ofcorresponding CBMs and they often also possess -13-glucanases thus encompassinga complex set of enzymes that potentially target fungal cell walls (178) Chitinaseproduction by soil bacteria is a complex adaptation that combines a nutritional strategywith potential involvement in the antagonistic interactions with fungi (178 179)Although the bacterial biomass in forest soils has a size similar to that of fungi (55) theprocess of bacterial cell wall polymer decomposition is far less understood Theinvolvement of Planctomycetes Verrucomicrobia Armatinomonadetes or candidate di-vision OD1 in the degradation of bacterial exopolysaccharides produced in soil wasrecently demonstrated (180)

Finally a large fraction of C in forest ecosystems is allocated belowground duringthe vegetation period via tree roots in the form of root exudates (181 182) Up to 40of newly photosynthesized C can be allocated to the soil via roots where it is rapidlyrespired or incorporated into the microbial biomass (183 184) The rhizosphereincluding the root-associated mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi is thus probably the mostimportant C allocation hot spot in forest soils and is strongly influenced by plant activity(185) Because ECM fungi cover most of the fine roots and root tips the largest fractionof this C is allocated to them (186) The fraction of assimilates that is exuded directlyfrom roots into the rhizosphere is estimated to range from 1 to 5 and is composedmainly of carbohydrates amino acids and organic acids (120 187) The rhizodepositionof C by plants exhibits severalfold seasonal differences that correspond to the intensityof photosynthesis throughout the year (182) While direct evidence of a net C flux from

plants to rhizosphere microbiota has been shown for many crops little is known aboutthe structure and function of bacterial and fungal communities that are activelyinvolved in the assimilation of root exudates in forest ecosystems (188) Althoughdecomposer fungi can find suitable conditions in the nonmycorrhizal rhizospheres oftrees this niche has traditionally been considered bacterium dominated because theirrapid growth favors their utilization of root exudates (185) Recent studies indicatedthat soil bacteria indeed use root exudates in forest soils (189) and the seasonalproduction of root exudates leads to an increase in bacterial biomass as well as in theshare of the rhizosphere- and mycorrhizosphere-specific bacteria in mineral soil insummer (56 70) In the same way as that of tree roots hyphae of ectomycorrhizal fungiexude low-molecular-weight organic compounds that support diverse bacterial com-munities (78 190) The rhizosphere of roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi is specificin that a portion of the plant-derived C is released into the soil through the ECMmycelium (155) As a consequence ECM fungi constitute a nutrient hot spot for othermicroorganisms because the fungal symbionts have a very large surface area andreceive a direct supply of photosynthetic C (149) Soil bacteria have been found to growabundantly and rapidly at the expense of the exudates from P sylvestris roots colonizedby Piloderma supporting a role for the bacteria in the metabolism of the organic acidsand other compounds produced by the fungus (152) The observation that thesebacteria are able to utilize fungal sugars more readily than plant sugars supports theexistence of a bacterial guild that is specialized for hyphal exudates (191)

Methane represents a gaseous form of organic C that can be oxidized by certainforest soil bacteria under aerobic conditions (192) These methanotrophic bacteria arethe main consumers of atmospheric methane as well as methane generated bymethanogenic archaea in waterlogged anaerobic horizons of certain soils (193ndash196)Due to the presence of methanotrophic bacteria forest soils (especially those of theboreal forests) may represent a sink of atmospheric methane Although methanotrophsare phylogenetically located in two bacterial phyla most of the characterized isolatesbelong to the Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria (197) The discovery ofnew acidophilic methanotrophs related to Verrucomicrobia recently revealed a higherlevel of diversity of methanotrophic bacteria in as yet unexplored acidic environments(198) In addition to using organic C sources certain soil bacteria are able to fix CO2These autotrophic taxa were described for the genus Bradyrhizobium (Betaproteobac-teria) whose members are abundant inhabitants of forest soils (199 200) and a recenttranscriptomic study confirmed the expression of the components of a photosyntheticapparatus in the Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria The input of C into forest soilsthrough fixation is however apparently minimal (55)

Role of Bacteria in Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycles

Nitrogen is the most common limiting nutrient in soils entering the ecosystemlargely through fixation (Fig 3) This process is dominated by bacteria that are esti-mated to be responsible for more than 95 of the N input in unmanaged environments(36 201) The presence of the nifH gene of the Alphaproteobacteria (BradyrhizobiumAzospirillum Hyphomicrobium and Gluconacetobacter) and Deltaproteobacteria (Geo-bacter spp) was observed in different temperate forest soils demonstrating the ubiq-uity of some N-fixing bacteria not only as symbiotic but also as free-living taxa (200)The observed diversity of N-fixing bacteria may rapidly change if there is an exogenousinput of N (36) Particularly in temperate forest soils that are strongly affected byanthropogenic N deposition N input is a good predictor of N fixation activity (202)

Nitrification and denitrification lead to the loss of N from soils through NO N2O andN2 gas emissions as well as through the leaching of NO3 if its concentration exceeds theecosystem retention capacity (203 204) Among these nitrous oxide is a particularlypowerful greenhouse gas with a potentially warming effect that is almost 300 timeslarger than that of CO2 (205) Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia tonitrate via a multienzymatic process The amoA gene encoding ammonia oxidasewhich performs the first step of nitrification is present in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria

(AOB) as well as ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) but AOB rather than AOA seem todominate in soils (206 207) The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is often limiting intemperate and boreal forest soils (208) All known AOB belong to the Betaproteobac-teria and Gammaproteobacteria and they are mostly represented by the genera Nitro-somonas Nitrosococcus and Nitrosospira Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira are furthersubdivided into clusters with different responses to environmental drivers such asacidity pH and ammonia availability and due to that changes in soil N availability canresult in dramatic shifts in the composition of the AOB community (206 208 209)Nitrosospira seems to be the most abundant AOB in acidic forest soils with low NH4

contents (206 210 211) The amoA gene content however appears to vary acrossforest soils (212) Nitrification rates seem to be correlated with the AOB abundance insoil (209 213) AOB are also involved in N losses from soil by producing N2O duringdenitrification (214) Denitrification is essential for the global N cycle maintaining thereduction of nitrate or nitrite to gaseous nitrogen compounds such as N2 and nitrousoxide The denitrification pathway is known as dissimilatory nitrate reduction becausenitrate or nitrogen oxides are the final electron acceptors allowing bacteria to produceenergy at the expense of reduced electron donors in the absence of oxygen Denitri-fying bacteria are not always able to perform all the steps of the dissimilatory pathwayand incomplete denitrification is the major source of N2O emissions from soils (215)Denitrification can be addressed by studying marker genes involved in the individualenzymatic steps such as the reduction of nitrate (narG) nitrite (nirKnirS) nitric oxide(norB) and nitrous oxide (nosZ) (205) Denitrifying bacteria are abundant and wide-spread in forest soils and denitrification genes have been found in bacterial strainsbelonging to the Acidobacteria Proteobacteria and Firmicutes as well as in otherbacterial phyla (216ndash218) A significant correlation was described among gene abun-dances denitrification rates and NO and N2O fluxes confirming the importance of theircarriers for the environmental processes that occur in forest soils (69 203 219) Inaddition to mineral N forms bacteria may obtain N from a range of organic compoundspresent in forest soils namely the chitin present in the polysaccharides of fungalmycelia and the amino acids and proteins in dead organic matter The utilization ofthese compounds is expected to be subject to intensive competition among ectomy-corrhizal fungi saprotrophic fungi and bacteria (146)

While the potential source of Nmdashthe atmospheremdashis theoretically unlimited this isnot the case for phosphorus (P) which is supplied mostly by weathering of minerals Pthus represents the limiting nutrient in many soils (Fig 3) Bacteria are importantmediators of the P cycle because some are able to solubilize mineral P while others mayimmobilize it in their biomass Unfortunately the involvement of bacteria in the P cyclehas received far less attention than that in the N and C cycles The main mechanismresponsible for P uptake by bacteria is through the solubilization and uptake ofinorganic P its most abundant source The ability to solubilize inorganic P has beendescribed for different bacteria and ectomycorrhizal fungi present in the rhizosphereand soil This ability is related to the release of organic anions such as citrategluconate oxalate and succinate into the soil (220) Phosphatase enzymes releasephosphate from organic phosphate esters during organic matter decay (221) In arecent metagenomic analysis of temperate forest soils it was highlighted that membersof the Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria dom-inated the processes related to P turnover (222 223) While genes related to Psolubilization are more abundant in P-rich soil those that play a role in P uptakesystems are more abundant in P-limited soil (222)

mount importance for prediction of the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatechange (224) Future climatic conditions are predicted to produce tree species migra-tion (225 226) an increase in extreme events such as droughts and wildfires and anincrease in vegetation productivity due to longer growth seasons (13 227 228) Theseeffects in combination with other phenomena such as increased N deposition maycause dramatic shifts in global C fluxes in particular affecting the boreal and temperateforests of the northern continental regions (229ndash231) The high diversity of C com-pounds released into the soils and the complex structures of bacterial and fungalcommunities with their overlapping functions create a very complex system that isdifficult to incorporate into predictive models (16) The complex nonlinear interactionsbetween forest and atmosphere have the capacity to constrain or amplify climatechange-associated processes depending on the activity of soil bacteria and fungi(232ndash234) Recent studies investigating the effects of global change on ecosystemproperties offer the first clues to the prediction of future developments (Table 1)

Carbon Dioxide

Increasing CO2 concentrations are predicted to boost NPP in boreal and temperateforests (235) however their capacity to maintain such high levels of NPP will stronglydepend on their ability to overcome nutrient limitations (236) Unfortunately thedegree to which forests will persist as C sinks remains uncertain (237) in particular therhizosphere priming effect may be reduced and the increased NPP may increase soil Cstorage (238 239) It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset byC sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of bothtrees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions

Thus how do CO2 levels affect bacterial populations in forest topsoils And is itpossible to generalize the observations obtained across ecosystems for different soilswith various vegetations The effects of elevated CO2 levels do not directly affect soilbacterial populations CO2 concentrations in soil pores are normally higher than thosein the atmosphere and the response of bacteria to small CO2 changes is thus negligible(240) As a result the observed effects are mostly indirectly driven by altered plantproduction and root exudation which are both tree species specific In additionchanges in organic acid exudation by mycorrhizal fungi as a result of the presence ofCO2 will affect the bacterial community composition (152) and this process alsodepends on the vegetation properties It is difficult to determine whether the functionalresponses of bacterial communities to CO2 will be similar across forests or will dependon soil and vegetation characteristics The expected increase in root exudation shouldgenerally favor the development of soil copiotrophic bacteria over specialized olig-otrophs A good example of this response is the decrease in abundance of oligotrophicAcidobacteria in various soils following an increase in CO2 (144 152 238 240) Such ageneral response is rather exceptional considering that different members of the samephylum often respond differently to the same disturbance (241) The increased abun-dance of certain bacterial taxa will have functional consequences only if their functionaltraits do not change in response to the treatment which may explain the sometimescontroversial results obtained for responses to CO2 in different forest soils despite thefairly consistent response of bacterial abundance after an increase in CO2 (238 240242) For example while some studies have indicated that an elevated CO2 level doesnot affect the AOB abundance or nitrifying activity (207) others have described anincrease in nitrification or nitrifying taxa (240 243) even in an unaltered bacterialcommunity Thus it is unclear whether the effects of increased CO2 levels on bacterialbiomass richness community composition and functionality will be consistent acrossdifferent forest ecosystems

The rise in temperature is intimately linked to the increased CO2 concentration inthe atmosphere because the latter largely causes the former Although both processesappear globally the extent of the rise in temperature is predicted to be pronounced in

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Page 3: Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem ...and boreal forests. Although most studies have focused on fungi, forest soil bac-teria also play important roles in this

balance of forests In this sense the effects of increasing temperature persistence ofdroughts recurrence of fires or expansion of native and invasive forest pests togetherwith the increasing loads of nitrogen (N) and carbon dioxide affect forest nutrient cyclesto a level where forests may potentially become net sources rather than sinks of CO2

(12 13 15) Therefore a better understanding of the role of forests in C fluxes that arelargely dependent on the activity of bacteria and fungi has been highlighted as anessential prerequisite for projecting future predictions of the health of our planet (16)

While plants are the key drivers of C uptake from the atmosphere in forests forestmicroorganisms contribute greatly to the C balance in these ecosystems They play animportant role as decomposers symbionts or pathogens influencing the C turnoverand retention and the availability of other nutrients (17ndash19) Microbial communities arevital in mediating the biogeochemical cycles and an understanding of their role inecosystem processes is essential for the prediction of the forest response to futureenvironmental conditions (8 17 20)

Fungi are the most well-studied microbes in temperate and boreal forest soils thatharbor abundant and diverse communities of saprotrophic and mycorrhizal fungal taxa(12 21 22) Fungi are considered the main decomposers in forest soils because of theirability to produce a wide range of extracellular enzymes that allow them to efficientlydegrade the recalcitrant fraction of dead plant biomass (23ndash25) Moreover mycorrhizalfungi play a pivotal role in the mobilization and sequestration of N and P in the forestsoil and are also responsible for significant soil transport of C (26ndash29) It is not surprisingthat most of the research on forest soil ecology so far has focused on fungi (18 19) Thistraditional emphasis on fungi however is slowly shifting with an increasing appreci-ation of the role of bacteria as the other major component of forest ecosystems (19)

Bacteria represent another important though less explored integral part of themicrobial community in forest soils For example recent findings indicate that bacteriacommonly harbor genes encoding plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (30) and contrib-

ute significantly to the decomposition of organic matter (31ndash35) In addition bacteriaare the major natural agents responsible for N fixation in forest ecosystems (36) and forother ecosystem processes such as mineral weathering leading to the release ofinorganic nutrients (37) The roles of bacteria and fungi however should not be viewedas separate The high abundance of fungal biomass in forest soils has multiple conse-quences for bacteria including the creation of specific niches in the soil patchescolonized by mycorrhizal fungi (ie the mycorrhizosphere) and soil mycelial mats (3839) provision of nutrients via organic matter decomposition (40) and an increase in soilconnectivity by fungal mycelia that allow certain bacteria to move across the environ-ment (41) Conversely the functioning of mycorrhiza is modulated by mycorrhizahelper bacteria (MHB) (42)

It is only recently that advances in analytical methods have allowed us to assess therole of bacteria in the complex forest ecosystem and to address the important ques-tions that previously remained unanswered such as the following Which habitats dobacteria inhabit and what are the major drivers of their abundance and diversity Whatis their role in nutrient cycling and the C balance How do they interact with otherforest organisms How do they respond to climate change and how does this responseaffect ecosystem processes The aim of this review is to answer these questions fortemperate and boreal forests to summarize the present knowledge about the role ofbacteria in ecosystem processes and about their response to global change as well asto motivate further research in the bacterial ecology of forests

BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES IN FOREST ECOSYSTEMS

Forest ecosystems provide a broad range of habitats for bacteria including soil andplant tissues and surfaces streams and rocks among others but bacteria seem to beespecially abundant on the forest floor in soil and litter (4) Five phyla AcidobacteriaActinobacteria Proteobacteria Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes appear to be abundant inmost soils (43) In addition to pH which seems to be the most important driver of thebacterial community composition in soils organic matter content nutrient availabilityclimate conditions and biotic interactions (especially the effect of vegetation) affect thecomposition of bacterial communities (43ndash47) The spatial variation of these parametersis responsible for the presence of hot spots of microbial activity with increasedabundance and activity in the soil such as in and on plant debris including litter anddeadwood or on and around plant roots (48ndash50) Each of these niches has specificproperties and consequently a specific bacterial community (Fig 2)

Bacterial Communities on Plant Litter and Deadwood

Due to the activity of primary producers dead plant biomassmdashlitter and dead-woodmdashrepresents the most important C sources for forest soil microbes The estimated1011 tons of fallen leaf litter that accumulates yearly on the forest floor surface and itstransformation are of great importance for the cycling of C and other nutrients (51ndash53)The litter habitat is dominated by a diverse community of fungi that have traditionallybeen considered to be key players in litter decomposition In addition to fungi recentstudies have demonstrated an active role of bacteria in litter transformation In the litterof coniferous forests bacteria incorporated relatively more cellulose-derived C thanthat incorporated by fungi (31) Cellulose-C was accumulated mainly by Betaproteo-bacteria Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria Similar results were found in different pineforest soils in North America where members of the Proteobacteria (BurkholderialesCaulobacteriales Rhizobiales and Xanthomonadales) Bacteroidetes (Sphingobacteriales)and subdivision 1 Acidobacteria accumulated the most cellulose-derived C (32) Re-cently studies of deciduous forests reported that at least 10 of litter bacteria are ableto decompose cellulose Many of these bacteria belong to the Proteobacteria Actino-bacteria Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria but members of other phyla are also active(33 54) Considering the frequency of cellulolytic genes in bacterial genomes (30)bacterial involvement in decomposition seems to be a relatively common trait

While the acidic soils of coniferous forests harbor mainly Proteobacteria Acidobac-teria and Actinobacteria (8 55) in temperate deciduous forests litter bacterial com-munities seem to be especially enriched with Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (45 5657) Indeed significant differences in the chemical structure of litter and root exudatesamong tree species influence soil bacterial communities through changes in substratechemistry (45 58 59) Litter quality which includes the quantity of nutrients tissuestructure and the CN ratio varies between tree species and results in varying litterdecomposability (60ndash62) Higher litter quality is typically associated with faster litterturnover and the liberation of exchangeable basic cations such as Ca2 and Mg2helping to maintain low levels of soil acidification (63ndash65) When trees typical oftemperate and boreal forests were ranked in order of increasing acidification ability oftheir litter conifers appeared to be the most acidifying followed by beech oak andbirch Maple hornbeam ash and lime comprised the group with the least acidifyingforest trees (59) These effects of litter quality on soil nutrient status and pH indirectlydrive the bacterial community composition of forest soils and its activity (66ndash68)

The production of litter is not constant throughout the year it is limited to a shortautumnal period in deciduous forests These and other aspects of seasonality in thetemperate and boreal zones have been identified as key factors affecting the C inputinto the soil environment and its decomposition by soil bacteria Cold and dark wintersand warm summers with longer photoperiods affect the development and production

During decomposition the chemical composition of litter changes with the gradualremoval of cellulose hemicellulose and lignin (58 71) In contrast to fungi bacteriainhabiting the phyllosphere of living leaves do not seem to be largely involved in litterdecomposition and are quickly replaced by other taxa (72) Proteobacteria and Bacte-roidetes are considered to be copiotrophs that preferentially consume the labile pool oforganic C (73) and are thus typical for freshly fallen litter The fresh litter is alsocharacterized by the quantitative dominance of fungi The biomass of bacteria in-creases gradually during decomposition (58 74) as does their diversity (57 72) Duringdecomposition the abundance of mycophagous bacteria coincides with the peak offungal biomass in the fresh litter In this stage of decomposition potentially mycolyticbacteria in Quercus litter represent as much as 40 of the total community (72)highlighting the importance of the fungal biomass as a nutrient source Bacterial taxathat associate with decomposing fungal mycelia represent a distinct subset of thebacterial community including members of the genera Pedobacter and Chitinophaga(Bacteroidetes) and Pseudomonas Variovorax Ewingella and Stenotrophomonas (Proteo-bacteria) (75) With ongoing litter decomposition the share of cellulolytic bacteriagradually increases (72)

Importantly a large proportion of plant inputs into forest soils are derived from organsother than leaves including fine roots seeds and twigs (76) While it has been shown thatthis type of litter represents an important source of soil organic matter (SOM) C (52 77)bacterial communities associated with this substrate remain unexplored

In addition to litter coarse deadwood is also an important structural component offorest ecosystems especially in unmanaged forests Wood debris represents a rich yetrecalcitrant source of organic matter mainly due to its physical impermeability andhigh lignin content These characteristics benefit filamentous macroscopic fungi (78)which are consequently the dominant decomposers of deadwood However bacteriaare also important inhabitants of decaying wood especially during the initial phases ofdecay (79 80) The physicochemical properties of wood that are tree specific such asthe density pH and water and N content determine the composition of bacterialcommunities (80 81) Proteobacteria Acidobacteria Actinobacteria and Firmicutes be-long to the most abundant phyla (79 80 82) Because fungal decomposition changesthe properties of wood substantially via the removal of easily available C acidificationand the production of fungal mycelia bacteria that can thrive at an acidic pH and utilizeC from fungal mycelia are positively selected (80 83 84) As observed for litterdecomposition the bacterial community in deadwood shows successional develop-ment with wood decay The assembly of the bacterial community appears to be astochastic process during the initial stage of wood decay and the bacterial abundancein fresh wood is very low with 02 109 16S rRNA copies g1 During decompositionthe bacterial abundance increases reaching levels as high as 3 109 to 13 109 16SrRNA copies g1 in highly decayed Picea abies wood with a density of 015 g cm3 (80)While the involvement of wood-associated bacteria in wood biopolymer decomposi-tion versus the use of substrates liberated by fungal decay remains largely unexploredrecent studies support a role for bacteria in other important processes including thedegradation of toxic wood compounds and N fixation Genera such as BurkholderiaPhenylobacterium and Methylovirgula which are abundant in the middle and latestages of wood decomposition are known to degrade aromatic compounds and to usemethanol as a sole carbon source (79 82) Moreover the N-fixation ability of bacteriathat are abundant during the late stages of wood decomposition (such as the membersof the Rhizobiales which may account for 25 of all bacteria in this phase) offers thepossibility of mutualistic interactions with fungi that provide C via wood decomposition

(82) Despite these initial studies little is still known about the community dynamics ofwood-inhabiting bacteria or their interactions with wood-decaying fungi (81) Consid-ering that multiple bacteria are able to utilize cellulose and other recalcitrant plantpolymers and that the fungal biomass is highly abundant in deadwood the involve-ment of bacteria in the decomposition of lignocellulose and fungal mycelia appears tobe highly probable

Bacteria in Forest Soils

Forest soils are among the most diverse microbial habitats on Earth in whichbacteria are the most abundant group of microorganisms (4 85) Forest soils arecharacterized by a sharp vertical stratification resulting from the decomposition oflitter-derived organic matter and the weathering of the mineral matrix The decreasingcontent and quality of organic matter with soil depth are accompanied by decreases inmicrobial biomass respiration and activity of extracellular enzymes For example in aQuercus petraea forest soil organic matter decreased 10-fold bacterial biomass 8-foldand enzyme activity 5-fold to 20-fold across the top 5 cm of the soil profile (86) Thetemperate forest soil profile typically comprises the organic horizon representing amixture of processed plant-derived organic matter and soil components and themineral soil horizon with a lower content of organic matter originating from both thedecomposition of organic matter and exudation from abundant tree roots The bacte-rial communities are horizon specific although they display a high level of taxonoverlap (56) For example the organic and mineral horizons in a temperate Quercusforest are dominated by Acidobacteria (accounting for 40 to 50 of all sequences)together with members of the Actinobacteria Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (56)Bacterial communities in coniferous forest soils also differ among horizons AlthoughAcidobacteria Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria are most abundant in organic as wellas mineral horizons the organic horizon is richer in Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (887) which have been proposed to preferentially utilize easily accessible carbon sub-strates (73 88) In contrast communities in the mineral soil harbor a larger proportionof Firmicutes and Chlorofexi organisms that are more adapted to the use of recalcitrantcarbon substrates and inorganic nutrients

The high abundance of Acidobacteria Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria acrossforest soils (87 89ndash92) appears to indicate their functional importance These threephyla also dominated the active fraction of a P abies soil comprising 80 to 90 ofrRNA molecules and were responsible for the bulk of bacterial transcription (8 55)

The soil bacterial community composition has been shown to display biogeograph-ical patterns on a continental scale that are predictable but differ from the well-studiedplant and animal community patterns (44) The first comprehensive study indicatedthat the soil pH is the most important driver of the bacterial community compositionand this observation was confirmed in multiple studies that focused specifically onforest soils (43 93ndash97) Whereas Acidobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria are abundant inacidic soils (8 96 98 99) the abundances of Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria increasewith a rising pH (43 94 100)

The preference of bacterial taxa for niches with certain nutrient contents andorganic matter quality is indicative of their ecological strategy The abundance ofAcidobacteria was initially negatively correlated with the C availability in soils corrob-orating the idea that Acidobacteria are slow-growing oligotrophs that have adapted toresource limitations (73 101 102) However the present results show that members ofthe Acidobacteria inhabit soils across a wide range of C contents representing onaverage 20 of all bacteria their abundance may exceed 60 in acidic forest soilswhere both the content of organic matter and the allocation of C by tree roots are high(43 103) Acidobacteria show a high level of metabolic versatility that allows them todecompose complex C substrates derived from the recalcitrant SOM pool (69 101)Recently subdivision 1 Acidobacteria from acidic coniferous forest soil were demon-strated to utilize C from cellulose and to produce high titers of extracellular enzymes(31 104) indicating their involvement in decomposition in these soils Unfortunately

due to their limited culturability little is known about the ecophysiology of othersubdivisions of Acidobacteria and the Planctomycetes except that they are common inforest soils (105 106) Verrucomicrobia which are also abundant in forest soils (56 107108) show an increased abundance with soil depth (109) but it is unclear whether thisis due to their preference for the oligotrophic environment or to the occupation ofspecific microniches Members of the phylum Bacteroidetes such as the genus Muci-laginibacter which are common in forest soils have been shown to be potent decom-posers of cellulose and other biopolymers (31 33 104)

Importantly some soil bacteria are involved in the weathering of minerals a processof great importance in nutrient-poor soils where minerals represent an important poolof inorganic nutrients (37 110) Members of the Betaproteobacteria such as the generaBurkholderia and Collimonas have been recognized as efficient mineral-weatheringbacteria These taxa are common in both deciduous and coniferous forest soils (31 56106 108 110ndash112)

For linking of the presence of bacteria or their activity to soil properties it isimportant that soil is a complex of microniches with heterogeneous physicochemicalproperties on various scales Because bacteria inhabit small niches the properties oftheir immediate environment rather than the mean soil properties affect the localbacterial community This spatial heterogeneity has been shown to result in theheterogeneity of bacterial communities on small scales of 1 cm (113) Furthermorelocal dispersal limitations can also remarkably influence the bacterial communitycomposition (93 114) Considering the high level of spatial variation of forest C stockson the same scale (115) the occurrence of individual taxa in forest soil may actually behighly variable on a small scale and may differ among activity hot spots such as therhizosphere and the bulk soil (49 50) The transient nature of some physicochemicalfactors such as soil moisture can strongly influence the physical connectivity of the soilmatrix affecting bacterial and nutrient dispersion and as a consequence rates of keysoil processes (116ndash118) Our ability to define and identify activity hot spots and toanalyze their properties as well as the abundance composition and function of theirbacterial inhabitants will be critical in future analyses to increase our mechanisticunderstanding of the roles of bacteria in biogeochemical processes

Rhizosphere Bacterial Communities

In temperate and boreal forests most C enters the soil food web via the roots in theform of labile C compounds such as sugars amino acids and organic acids (119 120)with approximately one-third of the plant net primary production (NPP) allocated toroots and soil (121) Indeed root exudation water and nutrient uptake by roots decayrespiration and physicochemical changes in soil are important factors influencing thecomposition and function of the microbial community in the rhizosphere with bio-geochemical consequences for the entire soils (46 122)

The roots and rhizospheres of trees as well as ground vegetation associate withfungi to form mycorrhiza While the ground vegetation mostly forms a symbioticrelationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi (29)more than 90 of forest trees in temperate and boreal zones participate in ectomy-corrhizal (ECM) symbiosis and only a minority of trees associate with AM (123) ThusECM is the quantitatively most prevalent and explored mycorrhizal type in forests (124)ECM fungi form mantels around tree root tips and their mycelia extend into surround-ing soils that are used to provide mineral nutrients to their hosts (62 124 125) Fungalassociations of AM with trees are much less common and are confined to a few treespecies (38) Due to the large absorptive area and exudation of labile compounds byECM hyphae the mycorrhizosphere and mycosphere represent important niches withfeatures that differ from the nonmycorrhizal rhizosphere and bulk soil hosting differentbacterial communities (62 126 127) The exudation of labile C by tree roots ormycorrhizal hyphae enhances the availability of C in the rhizosphere and consequentlythe microbial abundance and activity of extracellular enzymes in comparison to thosein the bulk soil (128ndash131) The input of labile C compounds into the rhizosphere selects

for bacterial strains with rapid growth and low-affinity substrate enzymes (r-strategists)that are enriched in comparison to the bulk soil profile (73 132) The quantity andquality of exudates select for specific microbial communities and the expression ofspecific genes and may prime the decomposition of recalcitrant organic matter (133134) Considering the seasonal changes in NPP seasonality is a major driver of microbialcommunity composition and functioning in the rhizosphere (135)

Despite the importance of the associated ecological processes bacterial communi-ties inhabiting rhizospheres in forests have been explored much less than those fromgrasslands or agricultural systems Recent studies from nonforest environments such asgrasslands (136 137) croplands (138ndash140) and other ecosystems (134 141ndash143)concluded that the rhizosphere contains a certain subset of the bulk soil microbiomewhich is enriched in members of the Proteobacteria Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes(136 140 142 143) The dominance of Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actino-bacteria and Bacteroidetes was also observed in the rhizospheres of beeches in amountainous forest (144) These observations suggest the enrichment of copiotrophicbacterial taxa (73 138 145)

The microbiomes surrounding the ECM roots and hyphae also differ from those in bulksoil (106 127 136) An enrichment of Proteobacteria (eg Burkholderia Rhizobium andPseudomonas) and Actinobacteria (such as Streptomyces) in the mycorrhizosphere wasreported based on culture-dependent studies (41 124 146ndash148) A recent molecular studyof Pinus sylvestris mycorrhizospheres indicated that the community composition is muchmore complex and includes both copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria (149)

Various roles ranging from mycorrhiza helpers to mycophages have been assignedto the ECM-associated bacteria (124) The mycorrhiza helper bacteria (MHB) isolatedfrom the mycorrhizospheres of different ECM symbionts either enhance the formationof mycorrhiza or support the previously established symbiosis (126 150 151) In themycorrhizosphere plants ECM fungi and bacteria form tripartite associations in whicheach player critically affects the metabolism of the others It has been proposed thatECM fungi select for bacterial communities through the exudation of low-molecular-weight compounds such as organic acids and amino acids (116 152) Different ECMfungi in a similar environment can host very similar bacterial communities that aresuited for this niche (146) MHB influence both ECM fungi and their plant host Forexample MHB from the genera Pseudomonas and Streptomyces promote mycorrhizaformation by modifying the gene expression of the ECM leading to acceleratedmycelial growth and stimulating the formation of new lateral roots (92 150 153)Rhizosphere bacteria also provide additional benefits to plants For example StreptomycesAcH 505 is an antagonist of plant pathogens and can induce defense mechanisms in Pabies and Quercus robur (125 154 155) Other very-well-known bacteria promoting plantvigor are endophytes such as the members of the genus Rhizobium which form noduleson the roots of Alnus plants fix gaseous N and provide it to their host

BACTERIAL INVOLVEMENT IN ECOSYSTEM PROCESSESRole of Bacteria in the Carbon Cycle

Forest soils store two-thirds of the terrestrial C (156) The flux of C is initiated by thefixation of atmospheric CO2 by photosynthesis and mediated by the allocation ofrecalcitrant and simple organic compounds into the soil (Fig 3) When plant debris andsimple organic compounds are decomposed and used by microorganisms to build theirbiomass some C is returned to the atmosphere via respiration Because root exudatescan readily be assimilated by soil microorganisms decomposition of the dead plantbiomass has been highlighted as the key process regulating C flow in soil systems thatinfluences the ratio between C mineralization and immobilization (156)

Recent studies indicated that bacteria play a more important role in the transfor-mation of the dead plant biomass than was previously assumed and significantlycontribute to decomposition processes in litter and soil (31ndash33) The plant biomass iscomposed largely of lignocellulose a highly organized and interlinked mix of differentpolymers that contains various amounts of cellulose hemicelluloses and lignin (157)

Because of the presence of hemicelluloses in a recalcitrant complex with lignincellulose represents the most accessible biopolymer and its degradation is thus akey step in the C cycle The most important enzymes involved in this process areendocellulases exocellulases and -glucosidases Together with these enzymes adiverse set of hemicellulases such as endoxylanases xylosidases xyloglucanasesendomannanases mannosidases fucosidases arabinosidases pectinases and ligni-nolytic enzymes are necessary for the hydrolysis of other polymers that are present inthe plant biomass (158) The genes encoding cellulases are present in 24 of allsequenced bacterial genomes (159) and glycosyl hydrolases that degrade other plantstructural biopolymers are also common (30) Recently Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar et al (33)isolated cellulolytic bacteria belonging to a variety of phyla from a deciduous foresttopsoil and they demonstrated for the first time the presence of cellulolytic membersamong some abundant soil genera eg Mucilaginibacter Luteibacter and PedobacterOther studies highlight the important ecological role of strains of the phyla Acidobac-teria and Actinobacteria as degraders of plant biomass polysaccharides in the acidicsoils of temperate forests (31 104 160)

Genomes of several forest soil bacteria encode proteins involved in decompositionof dead plant biomass (33 161ndash163) In addition to promotion by hydrolytic enzymesefficient hydrolysis is often promoted by the presence of carbohydrate-binding mod-ules (CBM) that are part of either the enzymes or bacterial cell surfaces (157) Genescoding for proteins that are involved in signal transduction nutrient binding andtransport are often found in the same operons as hydrolase genes Some of theseproteins such as the TonB-dependent receptors have been established as plantcarbohydrate scavengers (164) Other auxiliary proteins such as the substrate-bindingproteins (SBPs) from ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters have been shown to becapable of binding a variety of plant cell wall soluble and insoluble saccharidesincluding microcrystalline or amorphous cellulose xyloglucan xylan and mannan(165) The rich suite of these auxiliary proteins expressed by a Paenibacillus sp strainfrom a temperate forest soil suggests their important involvement in polysaccharide

decomposition (162) A suite of carbohydrate-binding proteins such as type IV pili andan atypical oxidative cellulase in a cellulolytic Luteibacter species from temperate forestsoil demonstrates the variability among the cellulolytic systems of bacteria whichremain far from being completely described (33 166 167) Since plant biomassrepresents a renewable and abundant resource for the production of environmentallyfriendly chemicals and biofuels (168) forest topsoils represent a rich potential source ofbacterial strains with biotechnological relevance (169 170)

Soil bacteria are also able to contribute to the breakdown of phenolic compoundsincluding lignin although their efficiency is typically much lower than that of fungi (34160) Ligninolytic bacteria can be found among the Proteobacteria (genera such asSphingomonas Burkholderia Enterobacter Ochrobacterium and Pseudomonas amongothers) Firmicutes (Bacillus and Paenibacillus) and Actinobacteria (Rhodococcus Myco-bacterium Microbacterium and Streptomyces) (35 171) and there is evidence thatpotentially ligninolytic taxa are common in soils For example abundant bacteriallaccase genes have been found in temperate hardwood forests (172) and bacterial taxapossessing laccases such as Burkholderia Bradyrhizobium and Azospirillum are highlyactive in forest soils (173) However even if the enzymology of bacterial lignin degra-dation is poorly understood compared to that for fungi bacteria may use ligninolyticperoxidases and laccases to reduce the toxicity of phenolic compounds rather than todegrade lignin

In addition to plant biomass fungal mycelia represent an important pool of organicmatter in forest litter and soil (174) Forest ecosystems are dominated by ectomycor-rhizal fungi (ECM) with a biomass of up to 600 kg ha1 (147 151) and the annualproduction of fungal mycelia in a spruce forest ranges from 100 to 300 kg ha1 (77)Fungal mycelia represent a large C and N pool that typically contains chitin and otherpolysaccharides such as glucans and glucomannans as well as phenolics such asmelanin (75 175) Fungal biomass represents a more readily decomposable substratethan lignocellulose and bacteria have been reported to be more important contribu-tors than fungi to its decomposition (75 176) The bacteria associated with fungalbiomass decomposition represent a specific subset of the litter and soil communitiesdominated by Pseudomonas Ewingella Pedobacter Variovorax Stenotrophomonas andChitinophaga genera that are known to produce chitinolytic enzymes (75) Chitinolyticenzymes which are represented by chitinases and N-acetylglucosaminidases appear tobe widespread in bacterial genomes especially Actinobacteria (30 177) The membersof this phylum often contain several chitinase genes as well as a diverse array ofcorresponding CBMs and they often also possess -13-glucanases thus encompassinga complex set of enzymes that potentially target fungal cell walls (178) Chitinaseproduction by soil bacteria is a complex adaptation that combines a nutritional strategywith potential involvement in the antagonistic interactions with fungi (178 179)Although the bacterial biomass in forest soils has a size similar to that of fungi (55) theprocess of bacterial cell wall polymer decomposition is far less understood Theinvolvement of Planctomycetes Verrucomicrobia Armatinomonadetes or candidate di-vision OD1 in the degradation of bacterial exopolysaccharides produced in soil wasrecently demonstrated (180)

Finally a large fraction of C in forest ecosystems is allocated belowground duringthe vegetation period via tree roots in the form of root exudates (181 182) Up to 40of newly photosynthesized C can be allocated to the soil via roots where it is rapidlyrespired or incorporated into the microbial biomass (183 184) The rhizosphereincluding the root-associated mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi is thus probably the mostimportant C allocation hot spot in forest soils and is strongly influenced by plant activity(185) Because ECM fungi cover most of the fine roots and root tips the largest fractionof this C is allocated to them (186) The fraction of assimilates that is exuded directlyfrom roots into the rhizosphere is estimated to range from 1 to 5 and is composedmainly of carbohydrates amino acids and organic acids (120 187) The rhizodepositionof C by plants exhibits severalfold seasonal differences that correspond to the intensityof photosynthesis throughout the year (182) While direct evidence of a net C flux from

plants to rhizosphere microbiota has been shown for many crops little is known aboutthe structure and function of bacterial and fungal communities that are activelyinvolved in the assimilation of root exudates in forest ecosystems (188) Althoughdecomposer fungi can find suitable conditions in the nonmycorrhizal rhizospheres oftrees this niche has traditionally been considered bacterium dominated because theirrapid growth favors their utilization of root exudates (185) Recent studies indicatedthat soil bacteria indeed use root exudates in forest soils (189) and the seasonalproduction of root exudates leads to an increase in bacterial biomass as well as in theshare of the rhizosphere- and mycorrhizosphere-specific bacteria in mineral soil insummer (56 70) In the same way as that of tree roots hyphae of ectomycorrhizal fungiexude low-molecular-weight organic compounds that support diverse bacterial com-munities (78 190) The rhizosphere of roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi is specificin that a portion of the plant-derived C is released into the soil through the ECMmycelium (155) As a consequence ECM fungi constitute a nutrient hot spot for othermicroorganisms because the fungal symbionts have a very large surface area andreceive a direct supply of photosynthetic C (149) Soil bacteria have been found to growabundantly and rapidly at the expense of the exudates from P sylvestris roots colonizedby Piloderma supporting a role for the bacteria in the metabolism of the organic acidsand other compounds produced by the fungus (152) The observation that thesebacteria are able to utilize fungal sugars more readily than plant sugars supports theexistence of a bacterial guild that is specialized for hyphal exudates (191)

Methane represents a gaseous form of organic C that can be oxidized by certainforest soil bacteria under aerobic conditions (192) These methanotrophic bacteria arethe main consumers of atmospheric methane as well as methane generated bymethanogenic archaea in waterlogged anaerobic horizons of certain soils (193ndash196)Due to the presence of methanotrophic bacteria forest soils (especially those of theboreal forests) may represent a sink of atmospheric methane Although methanotrophsare phylogenetically located in two bacterial phyla most of the characterized isolatesbelong to the Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria (197) The discovery ofnew acidophilic methanotrophs related to Verrucomicrobia recently revealed a higherlevel of diversity of methanotrophic bacteria in as yet unexplored acidic environments(198) In addition to using organic C sources certain soil bacteria are able to fix CO2These autotrophic taxa were described for the genus Bradyrhizobium (Betaproteobac-teria) whose members are abundant inhabitants of forest soils (199 200) and a recenttranscriptomic study confirmed the expression of the components of a photosyntheticapparatus in the Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria The input of C into forest soilsthrough fixation is however apparently minimal (55)

Role of Bacteria in Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycles

Nitrogen is the most common limiting nutrient in soils entering the ecosystemlargely through fixation (Fig 3) This process is dominated by bacteria that are esti-mated to be responsible for more than 95 of the N input in unmanaged environments(36 201) The presence of the nifH gene of the Alphaproteobacteria (BradyrhizobiumAzospirillum Hyphomicrobium and Gluconacetobacter) and Deltaproteobacteria (Geo-bacter spp) was observed in different temperate forest soils demonstrating the ubiq-uity of some N-fixing bacteria not only as symbiotic but also as free-living taxa (200)The observed diversity of N-fixing bacteria may rapidly change if there is an exogenousinput of N (36) Particularly in temperate forest soils that are strongly affected byanthropogenic N deposition N input is a good predictor of N fixation activity (202)

Nitrification and denitrification lead to the loss of N from soils through NO N2O andN2 gas emissions as well as through the leaching of NO3 if its concentration exceeds theecosystem retention capacity (203 204) Among these nitrous oxide is a particularlypowerful greenhouse gas with a potentially warming effect that is almost 300 timeslarger than that of CO2 (205) Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia tonitrate via a multienzymatic process The amoA gene encoding ammonia oxidasewhich performs the first step of nitrification is present in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria

(AOB) as well as ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) but AOB rather than AOA seem todominate in soils (206 207) The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is often limiting intemperate and boreal forest soils (208) All known AOB belong to the Betaproteobac-teria and Gammaproteobacteria and they are mostly represented by the genera Nitro-somonas Nitrosococcus and Nitrosospira Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira are furthersubdivided into clusters with different responses to environmental drivers such asacidity pH and ammonia availability and due to that changes in soil N availability canresult in dramatic shifts in the composition of the AOB community (206 208 209)Nitrosospira seems to be the most abundant AOB in acidic forest soils with low NH4

contents (206 210 211) The amoA gene content however appears to vary acrossforest soils (212) Nitrification rates seem to be correlated with the AOB abundance insoil (209 213) AOB are also involved in N losses from soil by producing N2O duringdenitrification (214) Denitrification is essential for the global N cycle maintaining thereduction of nitrate or nitrite to gaseous nitrogen compounds such as N2 and nitrousoxide The denitrification pathway is known as dissimilatory nitrate reduction becausenitrate or nitrogen oxides are the final electron acceptors allowing bacteria to produceenergy at the expense of reduced electron donors in the absence of oxygen Denitri-fying bacteria are not always able to perform all the steps of the dissimilatory pathwayand incomplete denitrification is the major source of N2O emissions from soils (215)Denitrification can be addressed by studying marker genes involved in the individualenzymatic steps such as the reduction of nitrate (narG) nitrite (nirKnirS) nitric oxide(norB) and nitrous oxide (nosZ) (205) Denitrifying bacteria are abundant and wide-spread in forest soils and denitrification genes have been found in bacterial strainsbelonging to the Acidobacteria Proteobacteria and Firmicutes as well as in otherbacterial phyla (216ndash218) A significant correlation was described among gene abun-dances denitrification rates and NO and N2O fluxes confirming the importance of theircarriers for the environmental processes that occur in forest soils (69 203 219) Inaddition to mineral N forms bacteria may obtain N from a range of organic compoundspresent in forest soils namely the chitin present in the polysaccharides of fungalmycelia and the amino acids and proteins in dead organic matter The utilization ofthese compounds is expected to be subject to intensive competition among ectomy-corrhizal fungi saprotrophic fungi and bacteria (146)

While the potential source of Nmdashthe atmospheremdashis theoretically unlimited this isnot the case for phosphorus (P) which is supplied mostly by weathering of minerals Pthus represents the limiting nutrient in many soils (Fig 3) Bacteria are importantmediators of the P cycle because some are able to solubilize mineral P while others mayimmobilize it in their biomass Unfortunately the involvement of bacteria in the P cyclehas received far less attention than that in the N and C cycles The main mechanismresponsible for P uptake by bacteria is through the solubilization and uptake ofinorganic P its most abundant source The ability to solubilize inorganic P has beendescribed for different bacteria and ectomycorrhizal fungi present in the rhizosphereand soil This ability is related to the release of organic anions such as citrategluconate oxalate and succinate into the soil (220) Phosphatase enzymes releasephosphate from organic phosphate esters during organic matter decay (221) In arecent metagenomic analysis of temperate forest soils it was highlighted that membersof the Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria dom-inated the processes related to P turnover (222 223) While genes related to Psolubilization are more abundant in P-rich soil those that play a role in P uptakesystems are more abundant in P-limited soil (222)

mount importance for prediction of the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatechange (224) Future climatic conditions are predicted to produce tree species migra-tion (225 226) an increase in extreme events such as droughts and wildfires and anincrease in vegetation productivity due to longer growth seasons (13 227 228) Theseeffects in combination with other phenomena such as increased N deposition maycause dramatic shifts in global C fluxes in particular affecting the boreal and temperateforests of the northern continental regions (229ndash231) The high diversity of C com-pounds released into the soils and the complex structures of bacterial and fungalcommunities with their overlapping functions create a very complex system that isdifficult to incorporate into predictive models (16) The complex nonlinear interactionsbetween forest and atmosphere have the capacity to constrain or amplify climatechange-associated processes depending on the activity of soil bacteria and fungi(232ndash234) Recent studies investigating the effects of global change on ecosystemproperties offer the first clues to the prediction of future developments (Table 1)

Increasing CO2 concentrations are predicted to boost NPP in boreal and temperateforests (235) however their capacity to maintain such high levels of NPP will stronglydepend on their ability to overcome nutrient limitations (236) Unfortunately thedegree to which forests will persist as C sinks remains uncertain (237) in particular therhizosphere priming effect may be reduced and the increased NPP may increase soil Cstorage (238 239) It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset byC sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of bothtrees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions

Thus how do CO2 levels affect bacterial populations in forest topsoils And is itpossible to generalize the observations obtained across ecosystems for different soilswith various vegetations The effects of elevated CO2 levels do not directly affect soilbacterial populations CO2 concentrations in soil pores are normally higher than thosein the atmosphere and the response of bacteria to small CO2 changes is thus negligible(240) As a result the observed effects are mostly indirectly driven by altered plantproduction and root exudation which are both tree species specific In additionchanges in organic acid exudation by mycorrhizal fungi as a result of the presence ofCO2 will affect the bacterial community composition (152) and this process alsodepends on the vegetation properties It is difficult to determine whether the functionalresponses of bacterial communities to CO2 will be similar across forests or will dependon soil and vegetation characteristics The expected increase in root exudation shouldgenerally favor the development of soil copiotrophic bacteria over specialized olig-otrophs A good example of this response is the decrease in abundance of oligotrophicAcidobacteria in various soils following an increase in CO2 (144 152 238 240) Such ageneral response is rather exceptional considering that different members of the samephylum often respond differently to the same disturbance (241) The increased abun-dance of certain bacterial taxa will have functional consequences only if their functionaltraits do not change in response to the treatment which may explain the sometimescontroversial results obtained for responses to CO2 in different forest soils despite thefairly consistent response of bacterial abundance after an increase in CO2 (238 240242) For example while some studies have indicated that an elevated CO2 level doesnot affect the AOB abundance or nitrifying activity (207) others have described anincrease in nitrification or nitrifying taxa (240 243) even in an unaltered bacterialcommunity Thus it is unclear whether the effects of increased CO2 levels on bacterialbiomass richness community composition and functionality will be consistent acrossdifferent forest ecosystems

Global Warming

The rise in temperature is intimately linked to the increased CO2 concentration inthe atmosphere because the latter largely causes the former Although both processesappear globally the extent of the rise in temperature is predicted to be pronounced in

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Page 4: Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem ...and boreal forests. Although most studies have focused on fungi, forest soil bac-teria also play important roles in this

ute significantly to the decomposition of organic matter (31ndash35) In addition bacteriaare the major natural agents responsible for N fixation in forest ecosystems (36) and forother ecosystem processes such as mineral weathering leading to the release ofinorganic nutrients (37) The roles of bacteria and fungi however should not be viewedas separate The high abundance of fungal biomass in forest soils has multiple conse-quences for bacteria including the creation of specific niches in the soil patchescolonized by mycorrhizal fungi (ie the mycorrhizosphere) and soil mycelial mats (3839) provision of nutrients via organic matter decomposition (40) and an increase in soilconnectivity by fungal mycelia that allow certain bacteria to move across the environ-ment (41) Conversely the functioning of mycorrhiza is modulated by mycorrhizahelper bacteria (MHB) (42)

It is only recently that advances in analytical methods have allowed us to assess therole of bacteria in the complex forest ecosystem and to address the important ques-tions that previously remained unanswered such as the following Which habitats dobacteria inhabit and what are the major drivers of their abundance and diversity Whatis their role in nutrient cycling and the C balance How do they interact with otherforest organisms How do they respond to climate change and how does this responseaffect ecosystem processes The aim of this review is to answer these questions fortemperate and boreal forests to summarize the present knowledge about the role ofbacteria in ecosystem processes and about their response to global change as well asto motivate further research in the bacterial ecology of forests

BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES IN FOREST ECOSYSTEMS

Forest ecosystems provide a broad range of habitats for bacteria including soil andplant tissues and surfaces streams and rocks among others but bacteria seem to beespecially abundant on the forest floor in soil and litter (4) Five phyla AcidobacteriaActinobacteria Proteobacteria Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes appear to be abundant inmost soils (43) In addition to pH which seems to be the most important driver of thebacterial community composition in soils organic matter content nutrient availabilityclimate conditions and biotic interactions (especially the effect of vegetation) affect thecomposition of bacterial communities (43ndash47) The spatial variation of these parametersis responsible for the presence of hot spots of microbial activity with increasedabundance and activity in the soil such as in and on plant debris including litter anddeadwood or on and around plant roots (48ndash50) Each of these niches has specificproperties and consequently a specific bacterial community (Fig 2)

Bacterial Communities on Plant Litter and Deadwood

Due to the activity of primary producers dead plant biomassmdashlitter and dead-woodmdashrepresents the most important C sources for forest soil microbes The estimated1011 tons of fallen leaf litter that accumulates yearly on the forest floor surface and itstransformation are of great importance for the cycling of C and other nutrients (51ndash53)The litter habitat is dominated by a diverse community of fungi that have traditionallybeen considered to be key players in litter decomposition In addition to fungi recentstudies have demonstrated an active role of bacteria in litter transformation In the litterof coniferous forests bacteria incorporated relatively more cellulose-derived C thanthat incorporated by fungi (31) Cellulose-C was accumulated mainly by Betaproteo-bacteria Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria Similar results were found in different pineforest soils in North America where members of the Proteobacteria (BurkholderialesCaulobacteriales Rhizobiales and Xanthomonadales) Bacteroidetes (Sphingobacteriales)and subdivision 1 Acidobacteria accumulated the most cellulose-derived C (32) Re-cently studies of deciduous forests reported that at least 10 of litter bacteria are ableto decompose cellulose Many of these bacteria belong to the Proteobacteria Actino-bacteria Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria but members of other phyla are also active(33 54) Considering the frequency of cellulolytic genes in bacterial genomes (30)bacterial involvement in decomposition seems to be a relatively common trait

While the acidic soils of coniferous forests harbor mainly Proteobacteria Acidobac-teria and Actinobacteria (8 55) in temperate deciduous forests litter bacterial com-munities seem to be especially enriched with Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (45 5657) Indeed significant differences in the chemical structure of litter and root exudatesamong tree species influence soil bacterial communities through changes in substratechemistry (45 58 59) Litter quality which includes the quantity of nutrients tissuestructure and the CN ratio varies between tree species and results in varying litterdecomposability (60ndash62) Higher litter quality is typically associated with faster litterturnover and the liberation of exchangeable basic cations such as Ca2 and Mg2helping to maintain low levels of soil acidification (63ndash65) When trees typical oftemperate and boreal forests were ranked in order of increasing acidification ability oftheir litter conifers appeared to be the most acidifying followed by beech oak andbirch Maple hornbeam ash and lime comprised the group with the least acidifyingforest trees (59) These effects of litter quality on soil nutrient status and pH indirectlydrive the bacterial community composition of forest soils and its activity (66ndash68)

The production of litter is not constant throughout the year it is limited to a shortautumnal period in deciduous forests These and other aspects of seasonality in thetemperate and boreal zones have been identified as key factors affecting the C inputinto the soil environment and its decomposition by soil bacteria Cold and dark wintersand warm summers with longer photoperiods affect the development and production

of foliage and consequently microbial community structure and activity in the litterand soil as well as in the foliage (69) Temperature differences affect decompositionrates by accelerating or decelerating enzymatic processes (55 70) On a shorter timescale selected weather events such as precipitation or snowmelt contribute to themobilization of nutrients that are washed into the forest soil and they representperiods of high microbial activity especially of fast-growing r-strategists (50)

During decomposition the chemical composition of litter changes with the gradualremoval of cellulose hemicellulose and lignin (58 71) In contrast to fungi bacteriainhabiting the phyllosphere of living leaves do not seem to be largely involved in litterdecomposition and are quickly replaced by other taxa (72) Proteobacteria and Bacte-roidetes are considered to be copiotrophs that preferentially consume the labile pool oforganic C (73) and are thus typical for freshly fallen litter The fresh litter is alsocharacterized by the quantitative dominance of fungi The biomass of bacteria in-creases gradually during decomposition (58 74) as does their diversity (57 72) Duringdecomposition the abundance of mycophagous bacteria coincides with the peak offungal biomass in the fresh litter In this stage of decomposition potentially mycolyticbacteria in Quercus litter represent as much as 40 of the total community (72)highlighting the importance of the fungal biomass as a nutrient source Bacterial taxathat associate with decomposing fungal mycelia represent a distinct subset of thebacterial community including members of the genera Pedobacter and Chitinophaga(Bacteroidetes) and Pseudomonas Variovorax Ewingella and Stenotrophomonas (Proteo-bacteria) (75) With ongoing litter decomposition the share of cellulolytic bacteriagradually increases (72)

Importantly a large proportion of plant inputs into forest soils are derived from organsother than leaves including fine roots seeds and twigs (76) While it has been shown thatthis type of litter represents an important source of soil organic matter (SOM) C (52 77)bacterial communities associated with this substrate remain unexplored

In addition to litter coarse deadwood is also an important structural component offorest ecosystems especially in unmanaged forests Wood debris represents a rich yetrecalcitrant source of organic matter mainly due to its physical impermeability andhigh lignin content These characteristics benefit filamentous macroscopic fungi (78)which are consequently the dominant decomposers of deadwood However bacteriaare also important inhabitants of decaying wood especially during the initial phases ofdecay (79 80) The physicochemical properties of wood that are tree specific such asthe density pH and water and N content determine the composition of bacterialcommunities (80 81) Proteobacteria Acidobacteria Actinobacteria and Firmicutes be-long to the most abundant phyla (79 80 82) Because fungal decomposition changesthe properties of wood substantially via the removal of easily available C acidificationand the production of fungal mycelia bacteria that can thrive at an acidic pH and utilizeC from fungal mycelia are positively selected (80 83 84) As observed for litterdecomposition the bacterial community in deadwood shows successional develop-ment with wood decay The assembly of the bacterial community appears to be astochastic process during the initial stage of wood decay and the bacterial abundancein fresh wood is very low with 02 109 16S rRNA copies g1 During decompositionthe bacterial abundance increases reaching levels as high as 3 109 to 13 109 16SrRNA copies g1 in highly decayed Picea abies wood with a density of 015 g cm3 (80)While the involvement of wood-associated bacteria in wood biopolymer decomposi-tion versus the use of substrates liberated by fungal decay remains largely unexploredrecent studies support a role for bacteria in other important processes including thedegradation of toxic wood compounds and N fixation Genera such as BurkholderiaPhenylobacterium and Methylovirgula which are abundant in the middle and latestages of wood decomposition are known to degrade aromatic compounds and to usemethanol as a sole carbon source (79 82) Moreover the N-fixation ability of bacteriathat are abundant during the late stages of wood decomposition (such as the membersof the Rhizobiales which may account for 25 of all bacteria in this phase) offers thepossibility of mutualistic interactions with fungi that provide C via wood decomposition

(82) Despite these initial studies little is still known about the community dynamics ofwood-inhabiting bacteria or their interactions with wood-decaying fungi (81) Consid-ering that multiple bacteria are able to utilize cellulose and other recalcitrant plantpolymers and that the fungal biomass is highly abundant in deadwood the involve-ment of bacteria in the decomposition of lignocellulose and fungal mycelia appears tobe highly probable

Bacteria in Forest Soils

Forest soils are among the most diverse microbial habitats on Earth in whichbacteria are the most abundant group of microorganisms (4 85) Forest soils arecharacterized by a sharp vertical stratification resulting from the decomposition oflitter-derived organic matter and the weathering of the mineral matrix The decreasingcontent and quality of organic matter with soil depth are accompanied by decreases inmicrobial biomass respiration and activity of extracellular enzymes For example in aQuercus petraea forest soil organic matter decreased 10-fold bacterial biomass 8-foldand enzyme activity 5-fold to 20-fold across the top 5 cm of the soil profile (86) Thetemperate forest soil profile typically comprises the organic horizon representing amixture of processed plant-derived organic matter and soil components and themineral soil horizon with a lower content of organic matter originating from both thedecomposition of organic matter and exudation from abundant tree roots The bacte-rial communities are horizon specific although they display a high level of taxonoverlap (56) For example the organic and mineral horizons in a temperate Quercusforest are dominated by Acidobacteria (accounting for 40 to 50 of all sequences)together with members of the Actinobacteria Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (56)Bacterial communities in coniferous forest soils also differ among horizons AlthoughAcidobacteria Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria are most abundant in organic as wellas mineral horizons the organic horizon is richer in Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (887) which have been proposed to preferentially utilize easily accessible carbon sub-strates (73 88) In contrast communities in the mineral soil harbor a larger proportionof Firmicutes and Chlorofexi organisms that are more adapted to the use of recalcitrantcarbon substrates and inorganic nutrients

The high abundance of Acidobacteria Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria acrossforest soils (87 89ndash92) appears to indicate their functional importance These threephyla also dominated the active fraction of a P abies soil comprising 80 to 90 ofrRNA molecules and were responsible for the bulk of bacterial transcription (8 55)

The soil bacterial community composition has been shown to display biogeograph-ical patterns on a continental scale that are predictable but differ from the well-studiedplant and animal community patterns (44) The first comprehensive study indicatedthat the soil pH is the most important driver of the bacterial community compositionand this observation was confirmed in multiple studies that focused specifically onforest soils (43 93ndash97) Whereas Acidobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria are abundant inacidic soils (8 96 98 99) the abundances of Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria increasewith a rising pH (43 94 100)

The preference of bacterial taxa for niches with certain nutrient contents andorganic matter quality is indicative of their ecological strategy The abundance ofAcidobacteria was initially negatively correlated with the C availability in soils corrob-orating the idea that Acidobacteria are slow-growing oligotrophs that have adapted toresource limitations (73 101 102) However the present results show that members ofthe Acidobacteria inhabit soils across a wide range of C contents representing onaverage 20 of all bacteria their abundance may exceed 60 in acidic forest soilswhere both the content of organic matter and the allocation of C by tree roots are high(43 103) Acidobacteria show a high level of metabolic versatility that allows them todecompose complex C substrates derived from the recalcitrant SOM pool (69 101)Recently subdivision 1 Acidobacteria from acidic coniferous forest soil were demon-strated to utilize C from cellulose and to produce high titers of extracellular enzymes(31 104) indicating their involvement in decomposition in these soils Unfortunately

due to their limited culturability little is known about the ecophysiology of othersubdivisions of Acidobacteria and the Planctomycetes except that they are common inforest soils (105 106) Verrucomicrobia which are also abundant in forest soils (56 107108) show an increased abundance with soil depth (109) but it is unclear whether thisis due to their preference for the oligotrophic environment or to the occupation ofspecific microniches Members of the phylum Bacteroidetes such as the genus Muci-laginibacter which are common in forest soils have been shown to be potent decom-posers of cellulose and other biopolymers (31 33 104)

Importantly some soil bacteria are involved in the weathering of minerals a processof great importance in nutrient-poor soils where minerals represent an important poolof inorganic nutrients (37 110) Members of the Betaproteobacteria such as the generaBurkholderia and Collimonas have been recognized as efficient mineral-weatheringbacteria These taxa are common in both deciduous and coniferous forest soils (31 56106 108 110ndash112)

For linking of the presence of bacteria or their activity to soil properties it isimportant that soil is a complex of microniches with heterogeneous physicochemicalproperties on various scales Because bacteria inhabit small niches the properties oftheir immediate environment rather than the mean soil properties affect the localbacterial community This spatial heterogeneity has been shown to result in theheterogeneity of bacterial communities on small scales of 1 cm (113) Furthermorelocal dispersal limitations can also remarkably influence the bacterial communitycomposition (93 114) Considering the high level of spatial variation of forest C stockson the same scale (115) the occurrence of individual taxa in forest soil may actually behighly variable on a small scale and may differ among activity hot spots such as therhizosphere and the bulk soil (49 50) The transient nature of some physicochemicalfactors such as soil moisture can strongly influence the physical connectivity of the soilmatrix affecting bacterial and nutrient dispersion and as a consequence rates of keysoil processes (116ndash118) Our ability to define and identify activity hot spots and toanalyze their properties as well as the abundance composition and function of theirbacterial inhabitants will be critical in future analyses to increase our mechanisticunderstanding of the roles of bacteria in biogeochemical processes

Rhizosphere Bacterial Communities

In temperate and boreal forests most C enters the soil food web via the roots in theform of labile C compounds such as sugars amino acids and organic acids (119 120)with approximately one-third of the plant net primary production (NPP) allocated toroots and soil (121) Indeed root exudation water and nutrient uptake by roots decayrespiration and physicochemical changes in soil are important factors influencing thecomposition and function of the microbial community in the rhizosphere with bio-geochemical consequences for the entire soils (46 122)

The roots and rhizospheres of trees as well as ground vegetation associate withfungi to form mycorrhiza While the ground vegetation mostly forms a symbioticrelationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi (29)more than 90 of forest trees in temperate and boreal zones participate in ectomy-corrhizal (ECM) symbiosis and only a minority of trees associate with AM (123) ThusECM is the quantitatively most prevalent and explored mycorrhizal type in forests (124)ECM fungi form mantels around tree root tips and their mycelia extend into surround-ing soils that are used to provide mineral nutrients to their hosts (62 124 125) Fungalassociations of AM with trees are much less common and are confined to a few treespecies (38) Due to the large absorptive area and exudation of labile compounds byECM hyphae the mycorrhizosphere and mycosphere represent important niches withfeatures that differ from the nonmycorrhizal rhizosphere and bulk soil hosting differentbacterial communities (62 126 127) The exudation of labile C by tree roots ormycorrhizal hyphae enhances the availability of C in the rhizosphere and consequentlythe microbial abundance and activity of extracellular enzymes in comparison to thosein the bulk soil (128ndash131) The input of labile C compounds into the rhizosphere selects

for bacterial strains with rapid growth and low-affinity substrate enzymes (r-strategists)that are enriched in comparison to the bulk soil profile (73 132) The quantity andquality of exudates select for specific microbial communities and the expression ofspecific genes and may prime the decomposition of recalcitrant organic matter (133134) Considering the seasonal changes in NPP seasonality is a major driver of microbialcommunity composition and functioning in the rhizosphere (135)

Despite the importance of the associated ecological processes bacterial communi-ties inhabiting rhizospheres in forests have been explored much less than those fromgrasslands or agricultural systems Recent studies from nonforest environments such asgrasslands (136 137) croplands (138ndash140) and other ecosystems (134 141ndash143)concluded that the rhizosphere contains a certain subset of the bulk soil microbiomewhich is enriched in members of the Proteobacteria Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes(136 140 142 143) The dominance of Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actino-bacteria and Bacteroidetes was also observed in the rhizospheres of beeches in amountainous forest (144) These observations suggest the enrichment of copiotrophicbacterial taxa (73 138 145)

The microbiomes surrounding the ECM roots and hyphae also differ from those in bulksoil (106 127 136) An enrichment of Proteobacteria (eg Burkholderia Rhizobium andPseudomonas) and Actinobacteria (such as Streptomyces) in the mycorrhizosphere wasreported based on culture-dependent studies (41 124 146ndash148) A recent molecular studyof Pinus sylvestris mycorrhizospheres indicated that the community composition is muchmore complex and includes both copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria (149)

Various roles ranging from mycorrhiza helpers to mycophages have been assignedto the ECM-associated bacteria (124) The mycorrhiza helper bacteria (MHB) isolatedfrom the mycorrhizospheres of different ECM symbionts either enhance the formationof mycorrhiza or support the previously established symbiosis (126 150 151) In themycorrhizosphere plants ECM fungi and bacteria form tripartite associations in whicheach player critically affects the metabolism of the others It has been proposed thatECM fungi select for bacterial communities through the exudation of low-molecular-weight compounds such as organic acids and amino acids (116 152) Different ECMfungi in a similar environment can host very similar bacterial communities that aresuited for this niche (146) MHB influence both ECM fungi and their plant host Forexample MHB from the genera Pseudomonas and Streptomyces promote mycorrhizaformation by modifying the gene expression of the ECM leading to acceleratedmycelial growth and stimulating the formation of new lateral roots (92 150 153)Rhizosphere bacteria also provide additional benefits to plants For example StreptomycesAcH 505 is an antagonist of plant pathogens and can induce defense mechanisms in Pabies and Quercus robur (125 154 155) Other very-well-known bacteria promoting plantvigor are endophytes such as the members of the genus Rhizobium which form noduleson the roots of Alnus plants fix gaseous N and provide it to their host

BACTERIAL INVOLVEMENT IN ECOSYSTEM PROCESSESRole of Bacteria in the Carbon Cycle

Forest soils store two-thirds of the terrestrial C (156) The flux of C is initiated by thefixation of atmospheric CO2 by photosynthesis and mediated by the allocation ofrecalcitrant and simple organic compounds into the soil (Fig 3) When plant debris andsimple organic compounds are decomposed and used by microorganisms to build theirbiomass some C is returned to the atmosphere via respiration Because root exudatescan readily be assimilated by soil microorganisms decomposition of the dead plantbiomass has been highlighted as the key process regulating C flow in soil systems thatinfluences the ratio between C mineralization and immobilization (156)

Recent studies indicated that bacteria play a more important role in the transfor-mation of the dead plant biomass than was previously assumed and significantlycontribute to decomposition processes in litter and soil (31ndash33) The plant biomass iscomposed largely of lignocellulose a highly organized and interlinked mix of differentpolymers that contains various amounts of cellulose hemicelluloses and lignin (157)

Because of the presence of hemicelluloses in a recalcitrant complex with lignincellulose represents the most accessible biopolymer and its degradation is thus akey step in the C cycle The most important enzymes involved in this process areendocellulases exocellulases and -glucosidases Together with these enzymes adiverse set of hemicellulases such as endoxylanases xylosidases xyloglucanasesendomannanases mannosidases fucosidases arabinosidases pectinases and ligni-nolytic enzymes are necessary for the hydrolysis of other polymers that are present inthe plant biomass (158) The genes encoding cellulases are present in 24 of allsequenced bacterial genomes (159) and glycosyl hydrolases that degrade other plantstructural biopolymers are also common (30) Recently Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar et al (33)isolated cellulolytic bacteria belonging to a variety of phyla from a deciduous foresttopsoil and they demonstrated for the first time the presence of cellulolytic membersamong some abundant soil genera eg Mucilaginibacter Luteibacter and PedobacterOther studies highlight the important ecological role of strains of the phyla Acidobac-teria and Actinobacteria as degraders of plant biomass polysaccharides in the acidicsoils of temperate forests (31 104 160)

Genomes of several forest soil bacteria encode proteins involved in decompositionof dead plant biomass (33 161ndash163) In addition to promotion by hydrolytic enzymesefficient hydrolysis is often promoted by the presence of carbohydrate-binding mod-ules (CBM) that are part of either the enzymes or bacterial cell surfaces (157) Genescoding for proteins that are involved in signal transduction nutrient binding andtransport are often found in the same operons as hydrolase genes Some of theseproteins such as the TonB-dependent receptors have been established as plantcarbohydrate scavengers (164) Other auxiliary proteins such as the substrate-bindingproteins (SBPs) from ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters have been shown to becapable of binding a variety of plant cell wall soluble and insoluble saccharidesincluding microcrystalline or amorphous cellulose xyloglucan xylan and mannan(165) The rich suite of these auxiliary proteins expressed by a Paenibacillus sp strainfrom a temperate forest soil suggests their important involvement in polysaccharide

decomposition (162) A suite of carbohydrate-binding proteins such as type IV pili andan atypical oxidative cellulase in a cellulolytic Luteibacter species from temperate forestsoil demonstrates the variability among the cellulolytic systems of bacteria whichremain far from being completely described (33 166 167) Since plant biomassrepresents a renewable and abundant resource for the production of environmentallyfriendly chemicals and biofuels (168) forest topsoils represent a rich potential source ofbacterial strains with biotechnological relevance (169 170)

Soil bacteria are also able to contribute to the breakdown of phenolic compoundsincluding lignin although their efficiency is typically much lower than that of fungi (34160) Ligninolytic bacteria can be found among the Proteobacteria (genera such asSphingomonas Burkholderia Enterobacter Ochrobacterium and Pseudomonas amongothers) Firmicutes (Bacillus and Paenibacillus) and Actinobacteria (Rhodococcus Myco-bacterium Microbacterium and Streptomyces) (35 171) and there is evidence thatpotentially ligninolytic taxa are common in soils For example abundant bacteriallaccase genes have been found in temperate hardwood forests (172) and bacterial taxapossessing laccases such as Burkholderia Bradyrhizobium and Azospirillum are highlyactive in forest soils (173) However even if the enzymology of bacterial lignin degra-dation is poorly understood compared to that for fungi bacteria may use ligninolyticperoxidases and laccases to reduce the toxicity of phenolic compounds rather than todegrade lignin

In addition to plant biomass fungal mycelia represent an important pool of organicmatter in forest litter and soil (174) Forest ecosystems are dominated by ectomycor-rhizal fungi (ECM) with a biomass of up to 600 kg ha1 (147 151) and the annualproduction of fungal mycelia in a spruce forest ranges from 100 to 300 kg ha1 (77)Fungal mycelia represent a large C and N pool that typically contains chitin and otherpolysaccharides such as glucans and glucomannans as well as phenolics such asmelanin (75 175) Fungal biomass represents a more readily decomposable substratethan lignocellulose and bacteria have been reported to be more important contribu-tors than fungi to its decomposition (75 176) The bacteria associated with fungalbiomass decomposition represent a specific subset of the litter and soil communitiesdominated by Pseudomonas Ewingella Pedobacter Variovorax Stenotrophomonas andChitinophaga genera that are known to produce chitinolytic enzymes (75) Chitinolyticenzymes which are represented by chitinases and N-acetylglucosaminidases appear tobe widespread in bacterial genomes especially Actinobacteria (30 177) The membersof this phylum often contain several chitinase genes as well as a diverse array ofcorresponding CBMs and they often also possess -13-glucanases thus encompassinga complex set of enzymes that potentially target fungal cell walls (178) Chitinaseproduction by soil bacteria is a complex adaptation that combines a nutritional strategywith potential involvement in the antagonistic interactions with fungi (178 179)Although the bacterial biomass in forest soils has a size similar to that of fungi (55) theprocess of bacterial cell wall polymer decomposition is far less understood Theinvolvement of Planctomycetes Verrucomicrobia Armatinomonadetes or candidate di-vision OD1 in the degradation of bacterial exopolysaccharides produced in soil wasrecently demonstrated (180)

Finally a large fraction of C in forest ecosystems is allocated belowground duringthe vegetation period via tree roots in the form of root exudates (181 182) Up to 40of newly photosynthesized C can be allocated to the soil via roots where it is rapidlyrespired or incorporated into the microbial biomass (183 184) The rhizosphereincluding the root-associated mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi is thus probably the mostimportant C allocation hot spot in forest soils and is strongly influenced by plant activity(185) Because ECM fungi cover most of the fine roots and root tips the largest fractionof this C is allocated to them (186) The fraction of assimilates that is exuded directlyfrom roots into the rhizosphere is estimated to range from 1 to 5 and is composedmainly of carbohydrates amino acids and organic acids (120 187) The rhizodepositionof C by plants exhibits severalfold seasonal differences that correspond to the intensityof photosynthesis throughout the year (182) While direct evidence of a net C flux from

plants to rhizosphere microbiota has been shown for many crops little is known aboutthe structure and function of bacterial and fungal communities that are activelyinvolved in the assimilation of root exudates in forest ecosystems (188) Althoughdecomposer fungi can find suitable conditions in the nonmycorrhizal rhizospheres oftrees this niche has traditionally been considered bacterium dominated because theirrapid growth favors their utilization of root exudates (185) Recent studies indicatedthat soil bacteria indeed use root exudates in forest soils (189) and the seasonalproduction of root exudates leads to an increase in bacterial biomass as well as in theshare of the rhizosphere- and mycorrhizosphere-specific bacteria in mineral soil insummer (56 70) In the same way as that of tree roots hyphae of ectomycorrhizal fungiexude low-molecular-weight organic compounds that support diverse bacterial com-munities (78 190) The rhizosphere of roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi is specificin that a portion of the plant-derived C is released into the soil through the ECMmycelium (155) As a consequence ECM fungi constitute a nutrient hot spot for othermicroorganisms because the fungal symbionts have a very large surface area andreceive a direct supply of photosynthetic C (149) Soil bacteria have been found to growabundantly and rapidly at the expense of the exudates from P sylvestris roots colonizedby Piloderma supporting a role for the bacteria in the metabolism of the organic acidsand other compounds produced by the fungus (152) The observation that thesebacteria are able to utilize fungal sugars more readily than plant sugars supports theexistence of a bacterial guild that is specialized for hyphal exudates (191)

Methane represents a gaseous form of organic C that can be oxidized by certainforest soil bacteria under aerobic conditions (192) These methanotrophic bacteria arethe main consumers of atmospheric methane as well as methane generated bymethanogenic archaea in waterlogged anaerobic horizons of certain soils (193ndash196)Due to the presence of methanotrophic bacteria forest soils (especially those of theboreal forests) may represent a sink of atmospheric methane Although methanotrophsare phylogenetically located in two bacterial phyla most of the characterized isolatesbelong to the Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria (197) The discovery ofnew acidophilic methanotrophs related to Verrucomicrobia recently revealed a higherlevel of diversity of methanotrophic bacteria in as yet unexplored acidic environments(198) In addition to using organic C sources certain soil bacteria are able to fix CO2These autotrophic taxa were described for the genus Bradyrhizobium (Betaproteobac-teria) whose members are abundant inhabitants of forest soils (199 200) and a recenttranscriptomic study confirmed the expression of the components of a photosyntheticapparatus in the Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria The input of C into forest soilsthrough fixation is however apparently minimal (55)

Role of Bacteria in Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycles

Nitrogen is the most common limiting nutrient in soils entering the ecosystemlargely through fixation (Fig 3) This process is dominated by bacteria that are esti-mated to be responsible for more than 95 of the N input in unmanaged environments(36 201) The presence of the nifH gene of the Alphaproteobacteria (BradyrhizobiumAzospirillum Hyphomicrobium and Gluconacetobacter) and Deltaproteobacteria (Geo-bacter spp) was observed in different temperate forest soils demonstrating the ubiq-uity of some N-fixing bacteria not only as symbiotic but also as free-living taxa (200)The observed diversity of N-fixing bacteria may rapidly change if there is an exogenousinput of N (36) Particularly in temperate forest soils that are strongly affected byanthropogenic N deposition N input is a good predictor of N fixation activity (202)

Nitrification and denitrification lead to the loss of N from soils through NO N2O andN2 gas emissions as well as through the leaching of NO3 if its concentration exceeds theecosystem retention capacity (203 204) Among these nitrous oxide is a particularlypowerful greenhouse gas with a potentially warming effect that is almost 300 timeslarger than that of CO2 (205) Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia tonitrate via a multienzymatic process The amoA gene encoding ammonia oxidasewhich performs the first step of nitrification is present in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria

(AOB) as well as ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) but AOB rather than AOA seem todominate in soils (206 207) The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is often limiting intemperate and boreal forest soils (208) All known AOB belong to the Betaproteobac-teria and Gammaproteobacteria and they are mostly represented by the genera Nitro-somonas Nitrosococcus and Nitrosospira Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira are furthersubdivided into clusters with different responses to environmental drivers such asacidity pH and ammonia availability and due to that changes in soil N availability canresult in dramatic shifts in the composition of the AOB community (206 208 209)Nitrosospira seems to be the most abundant AOB in acidic forest soils with low NH4

contents (206 210 211) The amoA gene content however appears to vary acrossforest soils (212) Nitrification rates seem to be correlated with the AOB abundance insoil (209 213) AOB are also involved in N losses from soil by producing N2O duringdenitrification (214) Denitrification is essential for the global N cycle maintaining thereduction of nitrate or nitrite to gaseous nitrogen compounds such as N2 and nitrousoxide The denitrification pathway is known as dissimilatory nitrate reduction becausenitrate or nitrogen oxides are the final electron acceptors allowing bacteria to produceenergy at the expense of reduced electron donors in the absence of oxygen Denitri-fying bacteria are not always able to perform all the steps of the dissimilatory pathwayand incomplete denitrification is the major source of N2O emissions from soils (215)Denitrification can be addressed by studying marker genes involved in the individualenzymatic steps such as the reduction of nitrate (narG) nitrite (nirKnirS) nitric oxide(norB) and nitrous oxide (nosZ) (205) Denitrifying bacteria are abundant and wide-spread in forest soils and denitrification genes have been found in bacterial strainsbelonging to the Acidobacteria Proteobacteria and Firmicutes as well as in otherbacterial phyla (216ndash218) A significant correlation was described among gene abun-dances denitrification rates and NO and N2O fluxes confirming the importance of theircarriers for the environmental processes that occur in forest soils (69 203 219) Inaddition to mineral N forms bacteria may obtain N from a range of organic compoundspresent in forest soils namely the chitin present in the polysaccharides of fungalmycelia and the amino acids and proteins in dead organic matter The utilization ofthese compounds is expected to be subject to intensive competition among ectomy-corrhizal fungi saprotrophic fungi and bacteria (146)

While the potential source of Nmdashthe atmospheremdashis theoretically unlimited this isnot the case for phosphorus (P) which is supplied mostly by weathering of minerals Pthus represents the limiting nutrient in many soils (Fig 3) Bacteria are importantmediators of the P cycle because some are able to solubilize mineral P while others mayimmobilize it in their biomass Unfortunately the involvement of bacteria in the P cyclehas received far less attention than that in the N and C cycles The main mechanismresponsible for P uptake by bacteria is through the solubilization and uptake ofinorganic P its most abundant source The ability to solubilize inorganic P has beendescribed for different bacteria and ectomycorrhizal fungi present in the rhizosphereand soil This ability is related to the release of organic anions such as citrategluconate oxalate and succinate into the soil (220) Phosphatase enzymes releasephosphate from organic phosphate esters during organic matter decay (221) In arecent metagenomic analysis of temperate forest soils it was highlighted that membersof the Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria dom-inated the processes related to P turnover (222 223) While genes related to Psolubilization are more abundant in P-rich soil those that play a role in P uptakesystems are more abundant in P-limited soil (222)

Bacteria strongly contribute to key ecological processes that are important forsociety in light of the ongoing global change (114) The determination of how rela-tionships between site factors and bacterial communities affect the equilibrium be-tween soil organic matter decomposition and C sequestration in forests is of para-

mount importance for prediction of the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatechange (224) Future climatic conditions are predicted to produce tree species migra-tion (225 226) an increase in extreme events such as droughts and wildfires and anincrease in vegetation productivity due to longer growth seasons (13 227 228) Theseeffects in combination with other phenomena such as increased N deposition maycause dramatic shifts in global C fluxes in particular affecting the boreal and temperateforests of the northern continental regions (229ndash231) The high diversity of C com-pounds released into the soils and the complex structures of bacterial and fungalcommunities with their overlapping functions create a very complex system that isdifficult to incorporate into predictive models (16) The complex nonlinear interactionsbetween forest and atmosphere have the capacity to constrain or amplify climatechange-associated processes depending on the activity of soil bacteria and fungi(232ndash234) Recent studies investigating the effects of global change on ecosystemproperties offer the first clues to the prediction of future developments (Table 1)

Carbon Dioxide

Increasing CO2 concentrations are predicted to boost NPP in boreal and temperateforests (235) however their capacity to maintain such high levels of NPP will stronglydepend on their ability to overcome nutrient limitations (236) Unfortunately thedegree to which forests will persist as C sinks remains uncertain (237) in particular therhizosphere priming effect may be reduced and the increased NPP may increase soil Cstorage (238 239) It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset byC sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of bothtrees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions

Thus how do CO2 levels affect bacterial populations in forest topsoils And is itpossible to generalize the observations obtained across ecosystems for different soilswith various vegetations The effects of elevated CO2 levels do not directly affect soilbacterial populations CO2 concentrations in soil pores are normally higher than thosein the atmosphere and the response of bacteria to small CO2 changes is thus negligible(240) As a result the observed effects are mostly indirectly driven by altered plantproduction and root exudation which are both tree species specific In additionchanges in organic acid exudation by mycorrhizal fungi as a result of the presence ofCO2 will affect the bacterial community composition (152) and this process alsodepends on the vegetation properties It is difficult to determine whether the functionalresponses of bacterial communities to CO2 will be similar across forests or will dependon soil and vegetation characteristics The expected increase in root exudation shouldgenerally favor the development of soil copiotrophic bacteria over specialized olig-otrophs A good example of this response is the decrease in abundance of oligotrophicAcidobacteria in various soils following an increase in CO2 (144 152 238 240) Such ageneral response is rather exceptional considering that different members of the samephylum often respond differently to the same disturbance (241) The increased abun-dance of certain bacterial taxa will have functional consequences only if their functionaltraits do not change in response to the treatment which may explain the sometimescontroversial results obtained for responses to CO2 in different forest soils despite thefairly consistent response of bacterial abundance after an increase in CO2 (238 240242) For example while some studies have indicated that an elevated CO2 level doesnot affect the AOB abundance or nitrifying activity (207) others have described anincrease in nitrification or nitrifying taxa (240 243) even in an unaltered bacterialcommunity Thus it is unclear whether the effects of increased CO2 levels on bacterialbiomass richness community composition and functionality will be consistent acrossdifferent forest ecosystems

Global Warming

The rise in temperature is intimately linked to the increased CO2 concentration inthe atmosphere because the latter largely causes the former Although both processesappear globally the extent of the rise in temperature is predicted to be pronounced in

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

While the acidic soils of coniferous forests harbor mainly Proteobacteria Acidobac-teria and Actinobacteria (8 55) in temperate deciduous forests litter bacterial com-munities seem to be especially enriched with Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (45 5657) Indeed significant differences in the chemical structure of litter and root exudatesamong tree species influence soil bacterial communities through changes in substratechemistry (45 58 59) Litter quality which includes the quantity of nutrients tissuestructure and the CN ratio varies between tree species and results in varying litterdecomposability (60ndash62) Higher litter quality is typically associated with faster litterturnover and the liberation of exchangeable basic cations such as Ca2 and Mg2helping to maintain low levels of soil acidification (63ndash65) When trees typical oftemperate and boreal forests were ranked in order of increasing acidification ability oftheir litter conifers appeared to be the most acidifying followed by beech oak andbirch Maple hornbeam ash and lime comprised the group with the least acidifyingforest trees (59) These effects of litter quality on soil nutrient status and pH indirectlydrive the bacterial community composition of forest soils and its activity (66ndash68)

The production of litter is not constant throughout the year it is limited to a shortautumnal period in deciduous forests These and other aspects of seasonality in thetemperate and boreal zones have been identified as key factors affecting the C inputinto the soil environment and its decomposition by soil bacteria Cold and dark wintersand warm summers with longer photoperiods affect the development and production

of foliage and consequently microbial community structure and activity in the litterand soil as well as in the foliage (69) Temperature differences affect decompositionrates by accelerating or decelerating enzymatic processes (55 70) On a shorter timescale selected weather events such as precipitation or snowmelt contribute to themobilization of nutrients that are washed into the forest soil and they representperiods of high microbial activity especially of fast-growing r-strategists (50)

During decomposition the chemical composition of litter changes with the gradualremoval of cellulose hemicellulose and lignin (58 71) In contrast to fungi bacteriainhabiting the phyllosphere of living leaves do not seem to be largely involved in litterdecomposition and are quickly replaced by other taxa (72) Proteobacteria and Bacte-roidetes are considered to be copiotrophs that preferentially consume the labile pool oforganic C (73) and are thus typical for freshly fallen litter The fresh litter is alsocharacterized by the quantitative dominance of fungi The biomass of bacteria in-creases gradually during decomposition (58 74) as does their diversity (57 72) Duringdecomposition the abundance of mycophagous bacteria coincides with the peak offungal biomass in the fresh litter In this stage of decomposition potentially mycolyticbacteria in Quercus litter represent as much as 40 of the total community (72)highlighting the importance of the fungal biomass as a nutrient source Bacterial taxathat associate with decomposing fungal mycelia represent a distinct subset of thebacterial community including members of the genera Pedobacter and Chitinophaga(Bacteroidetes) and Pseudomonas Variovorax Ewingella and Stenotrophomonas (Proteo-bacteria) (75) With ongoing litter decomposition the share of cellulolytic bacteriagradually increases (72)

Importantly a large proportion of plant inputs into forest soils are derived from organsother than leaves including fine roots seeds and twigs (76) While it has been shown thatthis type of litter represents an important source of soil organic matter (SOM) C (52 77)bacterial communities associated with this substrate remain unexplored

In addition to litter coarse deadwood is also an important structural component offorest ecosystems especially in unmanaged forests Wood debris represents a rich yetrecalcitrant source of organic matter mainly due to its physical impermeability andhigh lignin content These characteristics benefit filamentous macroscopic fungi (78)which are consequently the dominant decomposers of deadwood However bacteriaare also important inhabitants of decaying wood especially during the initial phases ofdecay (79 80) The physicochemical properties of wood that are tree specific such asthe density pH and water and N content determine the composition of bacterialcommunities (80 81) Proteobacteria Acidobacteria Actinobacteria and Firmicutes be-long to the most abundant phyla (79 80 82) Because fungal decomposition changesthe properties of wood substantially via the removal of easily available C acidificationand the production of fungal mycelia bacteria that can thrive at an acidic pH and utilizeC from fungal mycelia are positively selected (80 83 84) As observed for litterdecomposition the bacterial community in deadwood shows successional develop-ment with wood decay The assembly of the bacterial community appears to be astochastic process during the initial stage of wood decay and the bacterial abundancein fresh wood is very low with 02 109 16S rRNA copies g1 During decompositionthe bacterial abundance increases reaching levels as high as 3 109 to 13 109 16SrRNA copies g1 in highly decayed Picea abies wood with a density of 015 g cm3 (80)While the involvement of wood-associated bacteria in wood biopolymer decomposi-tion versus the use of substrates liberated by fungal decay remains largely unexploredrecent studies support a role for bacteria in other important processes including thedegradation of toxic wood compounds and N fixation Genera such as BurkholderiaPhenylobacterium and Methylovirgula which are abundant in the middle and latestages of wood decomposition are known to degrade aromatic compounds and to usemethanol as a sole carbon source (79 82) Moreover the N-fixation ability of bacteriathat are abundant during the late stages of wood decomposition (such as the membersof the Rhizobiales which may account for 25 of all bacteria in this phase) offers thepossibility of mutualistic interactions with fungi that provide C via wood decomposition

(82) Despite these initial studies little is still known about the community dynamics ofwood-inhabiting bacteria or their interactions with wood-decaying fungi (81) Consid-ering that multiple bacteria are able to utilize cellulose and other recalcitrant plantpolymers and that the fungal biomass is highly abundant in deadwood the involve-ment of bacteria in the decomposition of lignocellulose and fungal mycelia appears tobe highly probable

Bacteria in Forest Soils

Forest soils are among the most diverse microbial habitats on Earth in whichbacteria are the most abundant group of microorganisms (4 85) Forest soils arecharacterized by a sharp vertical stratification resulting from the decomposition oflitter-derived organic matter and the weathering of the mineral matrix The decreasingcontent and quality of organic matter with soil depth are accompanied by decreases inmicrobial biomass respiration and activity of extracellular enzymes For example in aQuercus petraea forest soil organic matter decreased 10-fold bacterial biomass 8-foldand enzyme activity 5-fold to 20-fold across the top 5 cm of the soil profile (86) Thetemperate forest soil profile typically comprises the organic horizon representing amixture of processed plant-derived organic matter and soil components and themineral soil horizon with a lower content of organic matter originating from both thedecomposition of organic matter and exudation from abundant tree roots The bacte-rial communities are horizon specific although they display a high level of taxonoverlap (56) For example the organic and mineral horizons in a temperate Quercusforest are dominated by Acidobacteria (accounting for 40 to 50 of all sequences)together with members of the Actinobacteria Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (56)Bacterial communities in coniferous forest soils also differ among horizons AlthoughAcidobacteria Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria are most abundant in organic as wellas mineral horizons the organic horizon is richer in Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (887) which have been proposed to preferentially utilize easily accessible carbon sub-strates (73 88) In contrast communities in the mineral soil harbor a larger proportionof Firmicutes and Chlorofexi organisms that are more adapted to the use of recalcitrantcarbon substrates and inorganic nutrients

The high abundance of Acidobacteria Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria acrossforest soils (87 89ndash92) appears to indicate their functional importance These threephyla also dominated the active fraction of a P abies soil comprising 80 to 90 ofrRNA molecules and were responsible for the bulk of bacterial transcription (8 55)

The soil bacterial community composition has been shown to display biogeograph-ical patterns on a continental scale that are predictable but differ from the well-studiedplant and animal community patterns (44) The first comprehensive study indicatedthat the soil pH is the most important driver of the bacterial community compositionand this observation was confirmed in multiple studies that focused specifically onforest soils (43 93ndash97) Whereas Acidobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria are abundant inacidic soils (8 96 98 99) the abundances of Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria increasewith a rising pH (43 94 100)

The preference of bacterial taxa for niches with certain nutrient contents andorganic matter quality is indicative of their ecological strategy The abundance ofAcidobacteria was initially negatively correlated with the C availability in soils corrob-orating the idea that Acidobacteria are slow-growing oligotrophs that have adapted toresource limitations (73 101 102) However the present results show that members ofthe Acidobacteria inhabit soils across a wide range of C contents representing onaverage 20 of all bacteria their abundance may exceed 60 in acidic forest soilswhere both the content of organic matter and the allocation of C by tree roots are high(43 103) Acidobacteria show a high level of metabolic versatility that allows them todecompose complex C substrates derived from the recalcitrant SOM pool (69 101)Recently subdivision 1 Acidobacteria from acidic coniferous forest soil were demon-strated to utilize C from cellulose and to produce high titers of extracellular enzymes(31 104) indicating their involvement in decomposition in these soils Unfortunately

due to their limited culturability little is known about the ecophysiology of othersubdivisions of Acidobacteria and the Planctomycetes except that they are common inforest soils (105 106) Verrucomicrobia which are also abundant in forest soils (56 107108) show an increased abundance with soil depth (109) but it is unclear whether thisis due to their preference for the oligotrophic environment or to the occupation ofspecific microniches Members of the phylum Bacteroidetes such as the genus Muci-laginibacter which are common in forest soils have been shown to be potent decom-posers of cellulose and other biopolymers (31 33 104)

Importantly some soil bacteria are involved in the weathering of minerals a processof great importance in nutrient-poor soils where minerals represent an important poolof inorganic nutrients (37 110) Members of the Betaproteobacteria such as the generaBurkholderia and Collimonas have been recognized as efficient mineral-weatheringbacteria These taxa are common in both deciduous and coniferous forest soils (31 56106 108 110ndash112)

For linking of the presence of bacteria or their activity to soil properties it isimportant that soil is a complex of microniches with heterogeneous physicochemicalproperties on various scales Because bacteria inhabit small niches the properties oftheir immediate environment rather than the mean soil properties affect the localbacterial community This spatial heterogeneity has been shown to result in theheterogeneity of bacterial communities on small scales of 1 cm (113) Furthermorelocal dispersal limitations can also remarkably influence the bacterial communitycomposition (93 114) Considering the high level of spatial variation of forest C stockson the same scale (115) the occurrence of individual taxa in forest soil may actually behighly variable on a small scale and may differ among activity hot spots such as therhizosphere and the bulk soil (49 50) The transient nature of some physicochemicalfactors such as soil moisture can strongly influence the physical connectivity of the soilmatrix affecting bacterial and nutrient dispersion and as a consequence rates of keysoil processes (116ndash118) Our ability to define and identify activity hot spots and toanalyze their properties as well as the abundance composition and function of theirbacterial inhabitants will be critical in future analyses to increase our mechanisticunderstanding of the roles of bacteria in biogeochemical processes

Rhizosphere Bacterial Communities

In temperate and boreal forests most C enters the soil food web via the roots in theform of labile C compounds such as sugars amino acids and organic acids (119 120)with approximately one-third of the plant net primary production (NPP) allocated toroots and soil (121) Indeed root exudation water and nutrient uptake by roots decayrespiration and physicochemical changes in soil are important factors influencing thecomposition and function of the microbial community in the rhizosphere with bio-geochemical consequences for the entire soils (46 122)

The roots and rhizospheres of trees as well as ground vegetation associate withfungi to form mycorrhiza While the ground vegetation mostly forms a symbioticrelationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi (29)more than 90 of forest trees in temperate and boreal zones participate in ectomy-corrhizal (ECM) symbiosis and only a minority of trees associate with AM (123) ThusECM is the quantitatively most prevalent and explored mycorrhizal type in forests (124)ECM fungi form mantels around tree root tips and their mycelia extend into surround-ing soils that are used to provide mineral nutrients to their hosts (62 124 125) Fungalassociations of AM with trees are much less common and are confined to a few treespecies (38) Due to the large absorptive area and exudation of labile compounds byECM hyphae the mycorrhizosphere and mycosphere represent important niches withfeatures that differ from the nonmycorrhizal rhizosphere and bulk soil hosting differentbacterial communities (62 126 127) The exudation of labile C by tree roots ormycorrhizal hyphae enhances the availability of C in the rhizosphere and consequentlythe microbial abundance and activity of extracellular enzymes in comparison to thosein the bulk soil (128ndash131) The input of labile C compounds into the rhizosphere selects

for bacterial strains with rapid growth and low-affinity substrate enzymes (r-strategists)that are enriched in comparison to the bulk soil profile (73 132) The quantity andquality of exudates select for specific microbial communities and the expression ofspecific genes and may prime the decomposition of recalcitrant organic matter (133134) Considering the seasonal changes in NPP seasonality is a major driver of microbialcommunity composition and functioning in the rhizosphere (135)

Despite the importance of the associated ecological processes bacterial communi-ties inhabiting rhizospheres in forests have been explored much less than those fromgrasslands or agricultural systems Recent studies from nonforest environments such asgrasslands (136 137) croplands (138ndash140) and other ecosystems (134 141ndash143)concluded that the rhizosphere contains a certain subset of the bulk soil microbiomewhich is enriched in members of the Proteobacteria Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes(136 140 142 143) The dominance of Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actino-bacteria and Bacteroidetes was also observed in the rhizospheres of beeches in amountainous forest (144) These observations suggest the enrichment of copiotrophicbacterial taxa (73 138 145)

The microbiomes surrounding the ECM roots and hyphae also differ from those in bulksoil (106 127 136) An enrichment of Proteobacteria (eg Burkholderia Rhizobium andPseudomonas) and Actinobacteria (such as Streptomyces) in the mycorrhizosphere wasreported based on culture-dependent studies (41 124 146ndash148) A recent molecular studyof Pinus sylvestris mycorrhizospheres indicated that the community composition is muchmore complex and includes both copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria (149)

Various roles ranging from mycorrhiza helpers to mycophages have been assignedto the ECM-associated bacteria (124) The mycorrhiza helper bacteria (MHB) isolatedfrom the mycorrhizospheres of different ECM symbionts either enhance the formationof mycorrhiza or support the previously established symbiosis (126 150 151) In themycorrhizosphere plants ECM fungi and bacteria form tripartite associations in whicheach player critically affects the metabolism of the others It has been proposed thatECM fungi select for bacterial communities through the exudation of low-molecular-weight compounds such as organic acids and amino acids (116 152) Different ECMfungi in a similar environment can host very similar bacterial communities that aresuited for this niche (146) MHB influence both ECM fungi and their plant host Forexample MHB from the genera Pseudomonas and Streptomyces promote mycorrhizaformation by modifying the gene expression of the ECM leading to acceleratedmycelial growth and stimulating the formation of new lateral roots (92 150 153)Rhizosphere bacteria also provide additional benefits to plants For example StreptomycesAcH 505 is an antagonist of plant pathogens and can induce defense mechanisms in Pabies and Quercus robur (125 154 155) Other very-well-known bacteria promoting plantvigor are endophytes such as the members of the genus Rhizobium which form noduleson the roots of Alnus plants fix gaseous N and provide it to their host

BACTERIAL INVOLVEMENT IN ECOSYSTEM PROCESSESRole of Bacteria in the Carbon Cycle

Forest soils store two-thirds of the terrestrial C (156) The flux of C is initiated by thefixation of atmospheric CO2 by photosynthesis and mediated by the allocation ofrecalcitrant and simple organic compounds into the soil (Fig 3) When plant debris andsimple organic compounds are decomposed and used by microorganisms to build theirbiomass some C is returned to the atmosphere via respiration Because root exudatescan readily be assimilated by soil microorganisms decomposition of the dead plantbiomass has been highlighted as the key process regulating C flow in soil systems thatinfluences the ratio between C mineralization and immobilization (156)

Recent studies indicated that bacteria play a more important role in the transfor-mation of the dead plant biomass than was previously assumed and significantlycontribute to decomposition processes in litter and soil (31ndash33) The plant biomass iscomposed largely of lignocellulose a highly organized and interlinked mix of differentpolymers that contains various amounts of cellulose hemicelluloses and lignin (157)

Because of the presence of hemicelluloses in a recalcitrant complex with lignincellulose represents the most accessible biopolymer and its degradation is thus akey step in the C cycle The most important enzymes involved in this process areendocellulases exocellulases and -glucosidases Together with these enzymes adiverse set of hemicellulases such as endoxylanases xylosidases xyloglucanasesendomannanases mannosidases fucosidases arabinosidases pectinases and ligni-nolytic enzymes are necessary for the hydrolysis of other polymers that are present inthe plant biomass (158) The genes encoding cellulases are present in 24 of allsequenced bacterial genomes (159) and glycosyl hydrolases that degrade other plantstructural biopolymers are also common (30) Recently Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar et al (33)isolated cellulolytic bacteria belonging to a variety of phyla from a deciduous foresttopsoil and they demonstrated for the first time the presence of cellulolytic membersamong some abundant soil genera eg Mucilaginibacter Luteibacter and PedobacterOther studies highlight the important ecological role of strains of the phyla Acidobac-teria and Actinobacteria as degraders of plant biomass polysaccharides in the acidicsoils of temperate forests (31 104 160)

Genomes of several forest soil bacteria encode proteins involved in decompositionof dead plant biomass (33 161ndash163) In addition to promotion by hydrolytic enzymesefficient hydrolysis is often promoted by the presence of carbohydrate-binding mod-ules (CBM) that are part of either the enzymes or bacterial cell surfaces (157) Genescoding for proteins that are involved in signal transduction nutrient binding andtransport are often found in the same operons as hydrolase genes Some of theseproteins such as the TonB-dependent receptors have been established as plantcarbohydrate scavengers (164) Other auxiliary proteins such as the substrate-bindingproteins (SBPs) from ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters have been shown to becapable of binding a variety of plant cell wall soluble and insoluble saccharidesincluding microcrystalline or amorphous cellulose xyloglucan xylan and mannan(165) The rich suite of these auxiliary proteins expressed by a Paenibacillus sp strainfrom a temperate forest soil suggests their important involvement in polysaccharide

decomposition (162) A suite of carbohydrate-binding proteins such as type IV pili andan atypical oxidative cellulase in a cellulolytic Luteibacter species from temperate forestsoil demonstrates the variability among the cellulolytic systems of bacteria whichremain far from being completely described (33 166 167) Since plant biomassrepresents a renewable and abundant resource for the production of environmentallyfriendly chemicals and biofuels (168) forest topsoils represent a rich potential source ofbacterial strains with biotechnological relevance (169 170)

Soil bacteria are also able to contribute to the breakdown of phenolic compoundsincluding lignin although their efficiency is typically much lower than that of fungi (34160) Ligninolytic bacteria can be found among the Proteobacteria (genera such asSphingomonas Burkholderia Enterobacter Ochrobacterium and Pseudomonas amongothers) Firmicutes (Bacillus and Paenibacillus) and Actinobacteria (Rhodococcus Myco-bacterium Microbacterium and Streptomyces) (35 171) and there is evidence thatpotentially ligninolytic taxa are common in soils For example abundant bacteriallaccase genes have been found in temperate hardwood forests (172) and bacterial taxapossessing laccases such as Burkholderia Bradyrhizobium and Azospirillum are highlyactive in forest soils (173) However even if the enzymology of bacterial lignin degra-dation is poorly understood compared to that for fungi bacteria may use ligninolyticperoxidases and laccases to reduce the toxicity of phenolic compounds rather than todegrade lignin

In addition to plant biomass fungal mycelia represent an important pool of organicmatter in forest litter and soil (174) Forest ecosystems are dominated by ectomycor-rhizal fungi (ECM) with a biomass of up to 600 kg ha1 (147 151) and the annualproduction of fungal mycelia in a spruce forest ranges from 100 to 300 kg ha1 (77)Fungal mycelia represent a large C and N pool that typically contains chitin and otherpolysaccharides such as glucans and glucomannans as well as phenolics such asmelanin (75 175) Fungal biomass represents a more readily decomposable substratethan lignocellulose and bacteria have been reported to be more important contribu-tors than fungi to its decomposition (75 176) The bacteria associated with fungalbiomass decomposition represent a specific subset of the litter and soil communitiesdominated by Pseudomonas Ewingella Pedobacter Variovorax Stenotrophomonas andChitinophaga genera that are known to produce chitinolytic enzymes (75) Chitinolyticenzymes which are represented by chitinases and N-acetylglucosaminidases appear tobe widespread in bacterial genomes especially Actinobacteria (30 177) The membersof this phylum often contain several chitinase genes as well as a diverse array ofcorresponding CBMs and they often also possess -13-glucanases thus encompassinga complex set of enzymes that potentially target fungal cell walls (178) Chitinaseproduction by soil bacteria is a complex adaptation that combines a nutritional strategywith potential involvement in the antagonistic interactions with fungi (178 179)Although the bacterial biomass in forest soils has a size similar to that of fungi (55) theprocess of bacterial cell wall polymer decomposition is far less understood Theinvolvement of Planctomycetes Verrucomicrobia Armatinomonadetes or candidate di-vision OD1 in the degradation of bacterial exopolysaccharides produced in soil wasrecently demonstrated (180)

Finally a large fraction of C in forest ecosystems is allocated belowground duringthe vegetation period via tree roots in the form of root exudates (181 182) Up to 40of newly photosynthesized C can be allocated to the soil via roots where it is rapidlyrespired or incorporated into the microbial biomass (183 184) The rhizosphereincluding the root-associated mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi is thus probably the mostimportant C allocation hot spot in forest soils and is strongly influenced by plant activity(185) Because ECM fungi cover most of the fine roots and root tips the largest fractionof this C is allocated to them (186) The fraction of assimilates that is exuded directlyfrom roots into the rhizosphere is estimated to range from 1 to 5 and is composedmainly of carbohydrates amino acids and organic acids (120 187) The rhizodepositionof C by plants exhibits severalfold seasonal differences that correspond to the intensityof photosynthesis throughout the year (182) While direct evidence of a net C flux from

plants to rhizosphere microbiota has been shown for many crops little is known aboutthe structure and function of bacterial and fungal communities that are activelyinvolved in the assimilation of root exudates in forest ecosystems (188) Althoughdecomposer fungi can find suitable conditions in the nonmycorrhizal rhizospheres oftrees this niche has traditionally been considered bacterium dominated because theirrapid growth favors their utilization of root exudates (185) Recent studies indicatedthat soil bacteria indeed use root exudates in forest soils (189) and the seasonalproduction of root exudates leads to an increase in bacterial biomass as well as in theshare of the rhizosphere- and mycorrhizosphere-specific bacteria in mineral soil insummer (56 70) In the same way as that of tree roots hyphae of ectomycorrhizal fungiexude low-molecular-weight organic compounds that support diverse bacterial com-munities (78 190) The rhizosphere of roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi is specificin that a portion of the plant-derived C is released into the soil through the ECMmycelium (155) As a consequence ECM fungi constitute a nutrient hot spot for othermicroorganisms because the fungal symbionts have a very large surface area andreceive a direct supply of photosynthetic C (149) Soil bacteria have been found to growabundantly and rapidly at the expense of the exudates from P sylvestris roots colonizedby Piloderma supporting a role for the bacteria in the metabolism of the organic acidsand other compounds produced by the fungus (152) The observation that thesebacteria are able to utilize fungal sugars more readily than plant sugars supports theexistence of a bacterial guild that is specialized for hyphal exudates (191)

Methane represents a gaseous form of organic C that can be oxidized by certainforest soil bacteria under aerobic conditions (192) These methanotrophic bacteria arethe main consumers of atmospheric methane as well as methane generated bymethanogenic archaea in waterlogged anaerobic horizons of certain soils (193ndash196)Due to the presence of methanotrophic bacteria forest soils (especially those of theboreal forests) may represent a sink of atmospheric methane Although methanotrophsare phylogenetically located in two bacterial phyla most of the characterized isolatesbelong to the Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria (197) The discovery ofnew acidophilic methanotrophs related to Verrucomicrobia recently revealed a higherlevel of diversity of methanotrophic bacteria in as yet unexplored acidic environments(198) In addition to using organic C sources certain soil bacteria are able to fix CO2These autotrophic taxa were described for the genus Bradyrhizobium (Betaproteobac-teria) whose members are abundant inhabitants of forest soils (199 200) and a recenttranscriptomic study confirmed the expression of the components of a photosyntheticapparatus in the Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria The input of C into forest soilsthrough fixation is however apparently minimal (55)

Role of Bacteria in Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycles

Nitrogen is the most common limiting nutrient in soils entering the ecosystemlargely through fixation (Fig 3) This process is dominated by bacteria that are esti-mated to be responsible for more than 95 of the N input in unmanaged environments(36 201) The presence of the nifH gene of the Alphaproteobacteria (BradyrhizobiumAzospirillum Hyphomicrobium and Gluconacetobacter) and Deltaproteobacteria (Geo-bacter spp) was observed in different temperate forest soils demonstrating the ubiq-uity of some N-fixing bacteria not only as symbiotic but also as free-living taxa (200)The observed diversity of N-fixing bacteria may rapidly change if there is an exogenousinput of N (36) Particularly in temperate forest soils that are strongly affected byanthropogenic N deposition N input is a good predictor of N fixation activity (202)

Nitrification and denitrification lead to the loss of N from soils through NO N2O andN2 gas emissions as well as through the leaching of NO3 if its concentration exceeds theecosystem retention capacity (203 204) Among these nitrous oxide is a particularlypowerful greenhouse gas with a potentially warming effect that is almost 300 timeslarger than that of CO2 (205) Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia tonitrate via a multienzymatic process The amoA gene encoding ammonia oxidasewhich performs the first step of nitrification is present in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria

(AOB) as well as ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) but AOB rather than AOA seem todominate in soils (206 207) The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is often limiting intemperate and boreal forest soils (208) All known AOB belong to the Betaproteobac-teria and Gammaproteobacteria and they are mostly represented by the genera Nitro-somonas Nitrosococcus and Nitrosospira Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira are furthersubdivided into clusters with different responses to environmental drivers such asacidity pH and ammonia availability and due to that changes in soil N availability canresult in dramatic shifts in the composition of the AOB community (206 208 209)Nitrosospira seems to be the most abundant AOB in acidic forest soils with low NH4

While the potential source of Nmdashthe atmospheremdashis theoretically unlimited this isnot the case for phosphorus (P) which is supplied mostly by weathering of minerals Pthus represents the limiting nutrient in many soils (Fig 3) Bacteria are importantmediators of the P cycle because some are able to solubilize mineral P while others mayimmobilize it in their biomass Unfortunately the involvement of bacteria in the P cyclehas received far less attention than that in the N and C cycles The main mechanismresponsible for P uptake by bacteria is through the solubilization and uptake ofinorganic P its most abundant source The ability to solubilize inorganic P has beendescribed for different bacteria and ectomycorrhizal fungi present in the rhizosphereand soil This ability is related to the release of organic anions such as citrategluconate oxalate and succinate into the soil (220) Phosphatase enzymes releasephosphate from organic phosphate esters during organic matter decay (221) In arecent metagenomic analysis of temperate forest soils it was highlighted that membersof the Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria dom-inated the processes related to P turnover (222 223) While genes related to Psolubilization are more abundant in P-rich soil those that play a role in P uptakesystems are more abundant in P-limited soil (222)

EFFECTS OF GLOBAL CHANGE ON BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES IN FORESTECOSYSTEMS

Bacteria strongly contribute to key ecological processes that are important forsociety in light of the ongoing global change (114) The determination of how rela-tionships between site factors and bacterial communities affect the equilibrium be-tween soil organic matter decomposition and C sequestration in forests is of para-

mount importance for prediction of the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatechange (224) Future climatic conditions are predicted to produce tree species migra-tion (225 226) an increase in extreme events such as droughts and wildfires and anincrease in vegetation productivity due to longer growth seasons (13 227 228) Theseeffects in combination with other phenomena such as increased N deposition maycause dramatic shifts in global C fluxes in particular affecting the boreal and temperateforests of the northern continental regions (229ndash231) The high diversity of C com-pounds released into the soils and the complex structures of bacterial and fungalcommunities with their overlapping functions create a very complex system that isdifficult to incorporate into predictive models (16) The complex nonlinear interactionsbetween forest and atmosphere have the capacity to constrain or amplify climatechange-associated processes depending on the activity of soil bacteria and fungi(232ndash234) Recent studies investigating the effects of global change on ecosystemproperties offer the first clues to the prediction of future developments (Table 1)

Carbon Dioxide

Increasing CO2 concentrations are predicted to boost NPP in boreal and temperateforests (235) however their capacity to maintain such high levels of NPP will stronglydepend on their ability to overcome nutrient limitations (236) Unfortunately thedegree to which forests will persist as C sinks remains uncertain (237) in particular therhizosphere priming effect may be reduced and the increased NPP may increase soil Cstorage (238 239) It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset byC sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of bothtrees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions

Thus how do CO2 levels affect bacterial populations in forest topsoils And is itpossible to generalize the observations obtained across ecosystems for different soilswith various vegetations The effects of elevated CO2 levels do not directly affect soilbacterial populations CO2 concentrations in soil pores are normally higher than thosein the atmosphere and the response of bacteria to small CO2 changes is thus negligible(240) As a result the observed effects are mostly indirectly driven by altered plantproduction and root exudation which are both tree species specific In additionchanges in organic acid exudation by mycorrhizal fungi as a result of the presence ofCO2 will affect the bacterial community composition (152) and this process alsodepends on the vegetation properties It is difficult to determine whether the functionalresponses of bacterial communities to CO2 will be similar across forests or will dependon soil and vegetation characteristics The expected increase in root exudation shouldgenerally favor the development of soil copiotrophic bacteria over specialized olig-otrophs A good example of this response is the decrease in abundance of oligotrophicAcidobacteria in various soils following an increase in CO2 (144 152 238 240) Such ageneral response is rather exceptional considering that different members of the samephylum often respond differently to the same disturbance (241) The increased abun-dance of certain bacterial taxa will have functional consequences only if their functionaltraits do not change in response to the treatment which may explain the sometimescontroversial results obtained for responses to CO2 in different forest soils despite thefairly consistent response of bacterial abundance after an increase in CO2 (238 240242) For example while some studies have indicated that an elevated CO2 level doesnot affect the AOB abundance or nitrifying activity (207) others have described anincrease in nitrification or nitrifying taxa (240 243) even in an unaltered bacterialcommunity Thus it is unclear whether the effects of increased CO2 levels on bacterialbiomass richness community composition and functionality will be consistent acrossdifferent forest ecosystems

Global Warming

The rise in temperature is intimately linked to the increased CO2 concentration inthe atmosphere because the latter largely causes the former Although both processesappear globally the extent of the rise in temperature is predicted to be pronounced in

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Salvador Lladoacute is a researcher whose maincareer focus is to relate bacterial identity tofunctionality related to the C cycle in tem-perate forest soils During his PhD researchin the Department of Microbiology of theUniversity of Barcelona he worked on char-acterizing bacterial populations involved inthe decomposition of hydrocarbon pollut-ants in contaminated soils After he obtainedhis PhD in December 2013 he moved tothe laboratory of Petr Baldrian in the Labo-ratory of Environmental Microbiology of the Czech Academy of Sci-ences where he is applying DNA and RNA high-throughput sequencingand metabolomics combined with classical microbiological methods ofisolation and physiological characterization to obtain a better under-standing of the roles of the most abundant bacteria in the C and Ncycles in forest soils His broader interest is to be able to relate bacterialcommunity structure and functionalities in soils with the changing Cfluxes due to climate change

Rubeacuten Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar studied biology atthe University of Murcia (Spain) and carriedout his research in the Department of Soiland Water Conservation at the CEBAS-CSIC(Spain) working on the application of mo-lecular methods to improve the use of ben-eficial microorganisms in agriculture and hereceived his PhD in applied biology fromthe University of Alicante (Spain) in 2011Afterwards he become a postdoctoral re-searcher in the Laboratory of EnvironmentalMicrobiology of the CAS (Czech Republic) and worked on the study ofthe composition and ecology of soil bacteria by using multiomicsmethods His current research is focused on exploring the bacterialsystems involved in polysaccharide degradation in forest soil and indiscovering new microorganisms and enzymes useful for biomass con-version and for the production of environmentally friendly chemicalsand biofuels His broader interest is to unveil the enormous potentialof microbial strains as natural resources for the different fields ofbiotechnology

Petr Baldrian received his PhD in microbi-ology at the Charles University in PragueCzech Republic based on work describingthe effects of metals on wood-rotting fungiHe later changed his topic to environmentalmicrobiology focusing on enzyme activitiesand the fungal contribution to decomposi-tion of litter and soil organic matter as wellas the characterization of enzymatic systemsof microorganisms and their biotechnologi-cal potential He is now Head of the Labora-tory of Environmental Microbiology of the Institute of Microbiology ofthe Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague Recently he contributed tothe identification of the active fraction of the soil microbiome and theanalysis of the relative contributions of bacteria and fungi to ecosystemprocesses His work is mostly focused on the functioning of forest soilsthe seasonality of microbial processes and the drivers of communityassembly of soil bacteria and fungi

of foliage and consequently microbial community structure and activity in the litterand soil as well as in the foliage (69) Temperature differences affect decompositionrates by accelerating or decelerating enzymatic processes (55 70) On a shorter timescale selected weather events such as precipitation or snowmelt contribute to themobilization of nutrients that are washed into the forest soil and they representperiods of high microbial activity especially of fast-growing r-strategists (50)

During decomposition the chemical composition of litter changes with the gradualremoval of cellulose hemicellulose and lignin (58 71) In contrast to fungi bacteriainhabiting the phyllosphere of living leaves do not seem to be largely involved in litterdecomposition and are quickly replaced by other taxa (72) Proteobacteria and Bacte-roidetes are considered to be copiotrophs that preferentially consume the labile pool oforganic C (73) and are thus typical for freshly fallen litter The fresh litter is alsocharacterized by the quantitative dominance of fungi The biomass of bacteria in-creases gradually during decomposition (58 74) as does their diversity (57 72) Duringdecomposition the abundance of mycophagous bacteria coincides with the peak offungal biomass in the fresh litter In this stage of decomposition potentially mycolyticbacteria in Quercus litter represent as much as 40 of the total community (72)highlighting the importance of the fungal biomass as a nutrient source Bacterial taxathat associate with decomposing fungal mycelia represent a distinct subset of thebacterial community including members of the genera Pedobacter and Chitinophaga(Bacteroidetes) and Pseudomonas Variovorax Ewingella and Stenotrophomonas (Proteo-bacteria) (75) With ongoing litter decomposition the share of cellulolytic bacteriagradually increases (72)

Importantly a large proportion of plant inputs into forest soils are derived from organsother than leaves including fine roots seeds and twigs (76) While it has been shown thatthis type of litter represents an important source of soil organic matter (SOM) C (52 77)bacterial communities associated with this substrate remain unexplored

In addition to litter coarse deadwood is also an important structural component offorest ecosystems especially in unmanaged forests Wood debris represents a rich yetrecalcitrant source of organic matter mainly due to its physical impermeability andhigh lignin content These characteristics benefit filamentous macroscopic fungi (78)which are consequently the dominant decomposers of deadwood However bacteriaare also important inhabitants of decaying wood especially during the initial phases ofdecay (79 80) The physicochemical properties of wood that are tree specific such asthe density pH and water and N content determine the composition of bacterialcommunities (80 81) Proteobacteria Acidobacteria Actinobacteria and Firmicutes be-long to the most abundant phyla (79 80 82) Because fungal decomposition changesthe properties of wood substantially via the removal of easily available C acidificationand the production of fungal mycelia bacteria that can thrive at an acidic pH and utilizeC from fungal mycelia are positively selected (80 83 84) As observed for litterdecomposition the bacterial community in deadwood shows successional develop-ment with wood decay The assembly of the bacterial community appears to be astochastic process during the initial stage of wood decay and the bacterial abundancein fresh wood is very low with 02 109 16S rRNA copies g1 During decompositionthe bacterial abundance increases reaching levels as high as 3 109 to 13 109 16SrRNA copies g1 in highly decayed Picea abies wood with a density of 015 g cm3 (80)While the involvement of wood-associated bacteria in wood biopolymer decomposi-tion versus the use of substrates liberated by fungal decay remains largely unexploredrecent studies support a role for bacteria in other important processes including thedegradation of toxic wood compounds and N fixation Genera such as BurkholderiaPhenylobacterium and Methylovirgula which are abundant in the middle and latestages of wood decomposition are known to degrade aromatic compounds and to usemethanol as a sole carbon source (79 82) Moreover the N-fixation ability of bacteriathat are abundant during the late stages of wood decomposition (such as the membersof the Rhizobiales which may account for 25 of all bacteria in this phase) offers thepossibility of mutualistic interactions with fungi that provide C via wood decomposition

(82) Despite these initial studies little is still known about the community dynamics ofwood-inhabiting bacteria or their interactions with wood-decaying fungi (81) Consid-ering that multiple bacteria are able to utilize cellulose and other recalcitrant plantpolymers and that the fungal biomass is highly abundant in deadwood the involve-ment of bacteria in the decomposition of lignocellulose and fungal mycelia appears tobe highly probable

Bacteria in Forest Soils

Forest soils are among the most diverse microbial habitats on Earth in whichbacteria are the most abundant group of microorganisms (4 85) Forest soils arecharacterized by a sharp vertical stratification resulting from the decomposition oflitter-derived organic matter and the weathering of the mineral matrix The decreasingcontent and quality of organic matter with soil depth are accompanied by decreases inmicrobial biomass respiration and activity of extracellular enzymes For example in aQuercus petraea forest soil organic matter decreased 10-fold bacterial biomass 8-foldand enzyme activity 5-fold to 20-fold across the top 5 cm of the soil profile (86) Thetemperate forest soil profile typically comprises the organic horizon representing amixture of processed plant-derived organic matter and soil components and themineral soil horizon with a lower content of organic matter originating from both thedecomposition of organic matter and exudation from abundant tree roots The bacte-rial communities are horizon specific although they display a high level of taxonoverlap (56) For example the organic and mineral horizons in a temperate Quercusforest are dominated by Acidobacteria (accounting for 40 to 50 of all sequences)together with members of the Actinobacteria Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (56)Bacterial communities in coniferous forest soils also differ among horizons AlthoughAcidobacteria Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria are most abundant in organic as wellas mineral horizons the organic horizon is richer in Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (887) which have been proposed to preferentially utilize easily accessible carbon sub-strates (73 88) In contrast communities in the mineral soil harbor a larger proportionof Firmicutes and Chlorofexi organisms that are more adapted to the use of recalcitrantcarbon substrates and inorganic nutrients

The high abundance of Acidobacteria Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria acrossforest soils (87 89ndash92) appears to indicate their functional importance These threephyla also dominated the active fraction of a P abies soil comprising 80 to 90 ofrRNA molecules and were responsible for the bulk of bacterial transcription (8 55)

The soil bacterial community composition has been shown to display biogeograph-ical patterns on a continental scale that are predictable but differ from the well-studiedplant and animal community patterns (44) The first comprehensive study indicatedthat the soil pH is the most important driver of the bacterial community compositionand this observation was confirmed in multiple studies that focused specifically onforest soils (43 93ndash97) Whereas Acidobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria are abundant inacidic soils (8 96 98 99) the abundances of Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria increasewith a rising pH (43 94 100)

The preference of bacterial taxa for niches with certain nutrient contents andorganic matter quality is indicative of their ecological strategy The abundance ofAcidobacteria was initially negatively correlated with the C availability in soils corrob-orating the idea that Acidobacteria are slow-growing oligotrophs that have adapted toresource limitations (73 101 102) However the present results show that members ofthe Acidobacteria inhabit soils across a wide range of C contents representing onaverage 20 of all bacteria their abundance may exceed 60 in acidic forest soilswhere both the content of organic matter and the allocation of C by tree roots are high(43 103) Acidobacteria show a high level of metabolic versatility that allows them todecompose complex C substrates derived from the recalcitrant SOM pool (69 101)Recently subdivision 1 Acidobacteria from acidic coniferous forest soil were demon-strated to utilize C from cellulose and to produce high titers of extracellular enzymes(31 104) indicating their involvement in decomposition in these soils Unfortunately

due to their limited culturability little is known about the ecophysiology of othersubdivisions of Acidobacteria and the Planctomycetes except that they are common inforest soils (105 106) Verrucomicrobia which are also abundant in forest soils (56 107108) show an increased abundance with soil depth (109) but it is unclear whether thisis due to their preference for the oligotrophic environment or to the occupation ofspecific microniches Members of the phylum Bacteroidetes such as the genus Muci-laginibacter which are common in forest soils have been shown to be potent decom-posers of cellulose and other biopolymers (31 33 104)

Importantly some soil bacteria are involved in the weathering of minerals a processof great importance in nutrient-poor soils where minerals represent an important poolof inorganic nutrients (37 110) Members of the Betaproteobacteria such as the generaBurkholderia and Collimonas have been recognized as efficient mineral-weatheringbacteria These taxa are common in both deciduous and coniferous forest soils (31 56106 108 110ndash112)

For linking of the presence of bacteria or their activity to soil properties it isimportant that soil is a complex of microniches with heterogeneous physicochemicalproperties on various scales Because bacteria inhabit small niches the properties oftheir immediate environment rather than the mean soil properties affect the localbacterial community This spatial heterogeneity has been shown to result in theheterogeneity of bacterial communities on small scales of 1 cm (113) Furthermorelocal dispersal limitations can also remarkably influence the bacterial communitycomposition (93 114) Considering the high level of spatial variation of forest C stockson the same scale (115) the occurrence of individual taxa in forest soil may actually behighly variable on a small scale and may differ among activity hot spots such as therhizosphere and the bulk soil (49 50) The transient nature of some physicochemicalfactors such as soil moisture can strongly influence the physical connectivity of the soilmatrix affecting bacterial and nutrient dispersion and as a consequence rates of keysoil processes (116ndash118) Our ability to define and identify activity hot spots and toanalyze their properties as well as the abundance composition and function of theirbacterial inhabitants will be critical in future analyses to increase our mechanisticunderstanding of the roles of bacteria in biogeochemical processes

Rhizosphere Bacterial Communities

In temperate and boreal forests most C enters the soil food web via the roots in theform of labile C compounds such as sugars amino acids and organic acids (119 120)with approximately one-third of the plant net primary production (NPP) allocated toroots and soil (121) Indeed root exudation water and nutrient uptake by roots decayrespiration and physicochemical changes in soil are important factors influencing thecomposition and function of the microbial community in the rhizosphere with bio-geochemical consequences for the entire soils (46 122)

The roots and rhizospheres of trees as well as ground vegetation associate withfungi to form mycorrhiza While the ground vegetation mostly forms a symbioticrelationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi (29)more than 90 of forest trees in temperate and boreal zones participate in ectomy-corrhizal (ECM) symbiosis and only a minority of trees associate with AM (123) ThusECM is the quantitatively most prevalent and explored mycorrhizal type in forests (124)ECM fungi form mantels around tree root tips and their mycelia extend into surround-ing soils that are used to provide mineral nutrients to their hosts (62 124 125) Fungalassociations of AM with trees are much less common and are confined to a few treespecies (38) Due to the large absorptive area and exudation of labile compounds byECM hyphae the mycorrhizosphere and mycosphere represent important niches withfeatures that differ from the nonmycorrhizal rhizosphere and bulk soil hosting differentbacterial communities (62 126 127) The exudation of labile C by tree roots ormycorrhizal hyphae enhances the availability of C in the rhizosphere and consequentlythe microbial abundance and activity of extracellular enzymes in comparison to thosein the bulk soil (128ndash131) The input of labile C compounds into the rhizosphere selects

for bacterial strains with rapid growth and low-affinity substrate enzymes (r-strategists)that are enriched in comparison to the bulk soil profile (73 132) The quantity andquality of exudates select for specific microbial communities and the expression ofspecific genes and may prime the decomposition of recalcitrant organic matter (133134) Considering the seasonal changes in NPP seasonality is a major driver of microbialcommunity composition and functioning in the rhizosphere (135)

Despite the importance of the associated ecological processes bacterial communi-ties inhabiting rhizospheres in forests have been explored much less than those fromgrasslands or agricultural systems Recent studies from nonforest environments such asgrasslands (136 137) croplands (138ndash140) and other ecosystems (134 141ndash143)concluded that the rhizosphere contains a certain subset of the bulk soil microbiomewhich is enriched in members of the Proteobacteria Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes(136 140 142 143) The dominance of Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actino-bacteria and Bacteroidetes was also observed in the rhizospheres of beeches in amountainous forest (144) These observations suggest the enrichment of copiotrophicbacterial taxa (73 138 145)

The microbiomes surrounding the ECM roots and hyphae also differ from those in bulksoil (106 127 136) An enrichment of Proteobacteria (eg Burkholderia Rhizobium andPseudomonas) and Actinobacteria (such as Streptomyces) in the mycorrhizosphere wasreported based on culture-dependent studies (41 124 146ndash148) A recent molecular studyof Pinus sylvestris mycorrhizospheres indicated that the community composition is muchmore complex and includes both copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria (149)

Various roles ranging from mycorrhiza helpers to mycophages have been assignedto the ECM-associated bacteria (124) The mycorrhiza helper bacteria (MHB) isolatedfrom the mycorrhizospheres of different ECM symbionts either enhance the formationof mycorrhiza or support the previously established symbiosis (126 150 151) In themycorrhizosphere plants ECM fungi and bacteria form tripartite associations in whicheach player critically affects the metabolism of the others It has been proposed thatECM fungi select for bacterial communities through the exudation of low-molecular-weight compounds such as organic acids and amino acids (116 152) Different ECMfungi in a similar environment can host very similar bacterial communities that aresuited for this niche (146) MHB influence both ECM fungi and their plant host Forexample MHB from the genera Pseudomonas and Streptomyces promote mycorrhizaformation by modifying the gene expression of the ECM leading to acceleratedmycelial growth and stimulating the formation of new lateral roots (92 150 153)Rhizosphere bacteria also provide additional benefits to plants For example StreptomycesAcH 505 is an antagonist of plant pathogens and can induce defense mechanisms in Pabies and Quercus robur (125 154 155) Other very-well-known bacteria promoting plantvigor are endophytes such as the members of the genus Rhizobium which form noduleson the roots of Alnus plants fix gaseous N and provide it to their host

BACTERIAL INVOLVEMENT IN ECOSYSTEM PROCESSESRole of Bacteria in the Carbon Cycle

Forest soils store two-thirds of the terrestrial C (156) The flux of C is initiated by thefixation of atmospheric CO2 by photosynthesis and mediated by the allocation ofrecalcitrant and simple organic compounds into the soil (Fig 3) When plant debris andsimple organic compounds are decomposed and used by microorganisms to build theirbiomass some C is returned to the atmosphere via respiration Because root exudatescan readily be assimilated by soil microorganisms decomposition of the dead plantbiomass has been highlighted as the key process regulating C flow in soil systems thatinfluences the ratio between C mineralization and immobilization (156)

Recent studies indicated that bacteria play a more important role in the transfor-mation of the dead plant biomass than was previously assumed and significantlycontribute to decomposition processes in litter and soil (31ndash33) The plant biomass iscomposed largely of lignocellulose a highly organized and interlinked mix of differentpolymers that contains various amounts of cellulose hemicelluloses and lignin (157)

Because of the presence of hemicelluloses in a recalcitrant complex with lignincellulose represents the most accessible biopolymer and its degradation is thus akey step in the C cycle The most important enzymes involved in this process areendocellulases exocellulases and -glucosidases Together with these enzymes adiverse set of hemicellulases such as endoxylanases xylosidases xyloglucanasesendomannanases mannosidases fucosidases arabinosidases pectinases and ligni-nolytic enzymes are necessary for the hydrolysis of other polymers that are present inthe plant biomass (158) The genes encoding cellulases are present in 24 of allsequenced bacterial genomes (159) and glycosyl hydrolases that degrade other plantstructural biopolymers are also common (30) Recently Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar et al (33)isolated cellulolytic bacteria belonging to a variety of phyla from a deciduous foresttopsoil and they demonstrated for the first time the presence of cellulolytic membersamong some abundant soil genera eg Mucilaginibacter Luteibacter and PedobacterOther studies highlight the important ecological role of strains of the phyla Acidobac-teria and Actinobacteria as degraders of plant biomass polysaccharides in the acidicsoils of temperate forests (31 104 160)

Genomes of several forest soil bacteria encode proteins involved in decompositionof dead plant biomass (33 161ndash163) In addition to promotion by hydrolytic enzymesefficient hydrolysis is often promoted by the presence of carbohydrate-binding mod-ules (CBM) that are part of either the enzymes or bacterial cell surfaces (157) Genescoding for proteins that are involved in signal transduction nutrient binding andtransport are often found in the same operons as hydrolase genes Some of theseproteins such as the TonB-dependent receptors have been established as plantcarbohydrate scavengers (164) Other auxiliary proteins such as the substrate-bindingproteins (SBPs) from ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters have been shown to becapable of binding a variety of plant cell wall soluble and insoluble saccharidesincluding microcrystalline or amorphous cellulose xyloglucan xylan and mannan(165) The rich suite of these auxiliary proteins expressed by a Paenibacillus sp strainfrom a temperate forest soil suggests their important involvement in polysaccharide

decomposition (162) A suite of carbohydrate-binding proteins such as type IV pili andan atypical oxidative cellulase in a cellulolytic Luteibacter species from temperate forestsoil demonstrates the variability among the cellulolytic systems of bacteria whichremain far from being completely described (33 166 167) Since plant biomassrepresents a renewable and abundant resource for the production of environmentallyfriendly chemicals and biofuels (168) forest topsoils represent a rich potential source ofbacterial strains with biotechnological relevance (169 170)

Soil bacteria are also able to contribute to the breakdown of phenolic compoundsincluding lignin although their efficiency is typically much lower than that of fungi (34160) Ligninolytic bacteria can be found among the Proteobacteria (genera such asSphingomonas Burkholderia Enterobacter Ochrobacterium and Pseudomonas amongothers) Firmicutes (Bacillus and Paenibacillus) and Actinobacteria (Rhodococcus Myco-bacterium Microbacterium and Streptomyces) (35 171) and there is evidence thatpotentially ligninolytic taxa are common in soils For example abundant bacteriallaccase genes have been found in temperate hardwood forests (172) and bacterial taxapossessing laccases such as Burkholderia Bradyrhizobium and Azospirillum are highlyactive in forest soils (173) However even if the enzymology of bacterial lignin degra-dation is poorly understood compared to that for fungi bacteria may use ligninolyticperoxidases and laccases to reduce the toxicity of phenolic compounds rather than todegrade lignin

In addition to plant biomass fungal mycelia represent an important pool of organicmatter in forest litter and soil (174) Forest ecosystems are dominated by ectomycor-rhizal fungi (ECM) with a biomass of up to 600 kg ha1 (147 151) and the annualproduction of fungal mycelia in a spruce forest ranges from 100 to 300 kg ha1 (77)Fungal mycelia represent a large C and N pool that typically contains chitin and otherpolysaccharides such as glucans and glucomannans as well as phenolics such asmelanin (75 175) Fungal biomass represents a more readily decomposable substratethan lignocellulose and bacteria have been reported to be more important contribu-tors than fungi to its decomposition (75 176) The bacteria associated with fungalbiomass decomposition represent a specific subset of the litter and soil communitiesdominated by Pseudomonas Ewingella Pedobacter Variovorax Stenotrophomonas andChitinophaga genera that are known to produce chitinolytic enzymes (75) Chitinolyticenzymes which are represented by chitinases and N-acetylglucosaminidases appear tobe widespread in bacterial genomes especially Actinobacteria (30 177) The membersof this phylum often contain several chitinase genes as well as a diverse array ofcorresponding CBMs and they often also possess -13-glucanases thus encompassinga complex set of enzymes that potentially target fungal cell walls (178) Chitinaseproduction by soil bacteria is a complex adaptation that combines a nutritional strategywith potential involvement in the antagonistic interactions with fungi (178 179)Although the bacterial biomass in forest soils has a size similar to that of fungi (55) theprocess of bacterial cell wall polymer decomposition is far less understood Theinvolvement of Planctomycetes Verrucomicrobia Armatinomonadetes or candidate di-vision OD1 in the degradation of bacterial exopolysaccharides produced in soil wasrecently demonstrated (180)

Finally a large fraction of C in forest ecosystems is allocated belowground duringthe vegetation period via tree roots in the form of root exudates (181 182) Up to 40of newly photosynthesized C can be allocated to the soil via roots where it is rapidlyrespired or incorporated into the microbial biomass (183 184) The rhizosphereincluding the root-associated mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi is thus probably the mostimportant C allocation hot spot in forest soils and is strongly influenced by plant activity(185) Because ECM fungi cover most of the fine roots and root tips the largest fractionof this C is allocated to them (186) The fraction of assimilates that is exuded directlyfrom roots into the rhizosphere is estimated to range from 1 to 5 and is composedmainly of carbohydrates amino acids and organic acids (120 187) The rhizodepositionof C by plants exhibits severalfold seasonal differences that correspond to the intensityof photosynthesis throughout the year (182) While direct evidence of a net C flux from

plants to rhizosphere microbiota has been shown for many crops little is known aboutthe structure and function of bacterial and fungal communities that are activelyinvolved in the assimilation of root exudates in forest ecosystems (188) Althoughdecomposer fungi can find suitable conditions in the nonmycorrhizal rhizospheres oftrees this niche has traditionally been considered bacterium dominated because theirrapid growth favors their utilization of root exudates (185) Recent studies indicatedthat soil bacteria indeed use root exudates in forest soils (189) and the seasonalproduction of root exudates leads to an increase in bacterial biomass as well as in theshare of the rhizosphere- and mycorrhizosphere-specific bacteria in mineral soil insummer (56 70) In the same way as that of tree roots hyphae of ectomycorrhizal fungiexude low-molecular-weight organic compounds that support diverse bacterial com-munities (78 190) The rhizosphere of roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi is specificin that a portion of the plant-derived C is released into the soil through the ECMmycelium (155) As a consequence ECM fungi constitute a nutrient hot spot for othermicroorganisms because the fungal symbionts have a very large surface area andreceive a direct supply of photosynthetic C (149) Soil bacteria have been found to growabundantly and rapidly at the expense of the exudates from P sylvestris roots colonizedby Piloderma supporting a role for the bacteria in the metabolism of the organic acidsand other compounds produced by the fungus (152) The observation that thesebacteria are able to utilize fungal sugars more readily than plant sugars supports theexistence of a bacterial guild that is specialized for hyphal exudates (191)

Methane represents a gaseous form of organic C that can be oxidized by certainforest soil bacteria under aerobic conditions (192) These methanotrophic bacteria arethe main consumers of atmospheric methane as well as methane generated bymethanogenic archaea in waterlogged anaerobic horizons of certain soils (193ndash196)Due to the presence of methanotrophic bacteria forest soils (especially those of theboreal forests) may represent a sink of atmospheric methane Although methanotrophsare phylogenetically located in two bacterial phyla most of the characterized isolatesbelong to the Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria (197) The discovery ofnew acidophilic methanotrophs related to Verrucomicrobia recently revealed a higherlevel of diversity of methanotrophic bacteria in as yet unexplored acidic environments(198) In addition to using organic C sources certain soil bacteria are able to fix CO2These autotrophic taxa were described for the genus Bradyrhizobium (Betaproteobac-teria) whose members are abundant inhabitants of forest soils (199 200) and a recenttranscriptomic study confirmed the expression of the components of a photosyntheticapparatus in the Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria The input of C into forest soilsthrough fixation is however apparently minimal (55)

Role of Bacteria in Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycles

Nitrogen is the most common limiting nutrient in soils entering the ecosystemlargely through fixation (Fig 3) This process is dominated by bacteria that are esti-mated to be responsible for more than 95 of the N input in unmanaged environments(36 201) The presence of the nifH gene of the Alphaproteobacteria (BradyrhizobiumAzospirillum Hyphomicrobium and Gluconacetobacter) and Deltaproteobacteria (Geo-bacter spp) was observed in different temperate forest soils demonstrating the ubiq-uity of some N-fixing bacteria not only as symbiotic but also as free-living taxa (200)The observed diversity of N-fixing bacteria may rapidly change if there is an exogenousinput of N (36) Particularly in temperate forest soils that are strongly affected byanthropogenic N deposition N input is a good predictor of N fixation activity (202)

Nitrification and denitrification lead to the loss of N from soils through NO N2O andN2 gas emissions as well as through the leaching of NO3 if its concentration exceeds theecosystem retention capacity (203 204) Among these nitrous oxide is a particularlypowerful greenhouse gas with a potentially warming effect that is almost 300 timeslarger than that of CO2 (205) Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia tonitrate via a multienzymatic process The amoA gene encoding ammonia oxidasewhich performs the first step of nitrification is present in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria

(AOB) as well as ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) but AOB rather than AOA seem todominate in soils (206 207) The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is often limiting intemperate and boreal forest soils (208) All known AOB belong to the Betaproteobac-teria and Gammaproteobacteria and they are mostly represented by the genera Nitro-somonas Nitrosococcus and Nitrosospira Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira are furthersubdivided into clusters with different responses to environmental drivers such asacidity pH and ammonia availability and due to that changes in soil N availability canresult in dramatic shifts in the composition of the AOB community (206 208 209)Nitrosospira seems to be the most abundant AOB in acidic forest soils with low NH4

contents (206 210 211) The amoA gene content however appears to vary acrossforest soils (212) Nitrification rates seem to be correlated with the AOB abundance insoil (209 213) AOB are also involved in N losses from soil by producing N2O duringdenitrification (214) Denitrification is essential for the global N cycle maintaining thereduction of nitrate or nitrite to gaseous nitrogen compounds such as N2 and nitrousoxide The denitrification pathway is known as dissimilatory nitrate reduction becausenitrate or nitrogen oxides are the final electron acceptors allowing bacteria to produceenergy at the expense of reduced electron donors in the absence of oxygen Denitri-fying bacteria are not always able to perform all the steps of the dissimilatory pathwayand incomplete denitrification is the major source of N2O emissions from soils (215)Denitrification can be addressed by studying marker genes involved in the individualenzymatic steps such as the reduction of nitrate (narG) nitrite (nirKnirS) nitric oxide(norB) and nitrous oxide (nosZ) (205) Denitrifying bacteria are abundant and wide-spread in forest soils and denitrification genes have been found in bacterial strainsbelonging to the Acidobacteria Proteobacteria and Firmicutes as well as in otherbacterial phyla (216ndash218) A significant correlation was described among gene abun-dances denitrification rates and NO and N2O fluxes confirming the importance of theircarriers for the environmental processes that occur in forest soils (69 203 219) Inaddition to mineral N forms bacteria may obtain N from a range of organic compoundspresent in forest soils namely the chitin present in the polysaccharides of fungalmycelia and the amino acids and proteins in dead organic matter The utilization ofthese compounds is expected to be subject to intensive competition among ectomy-corrhizal fungi saprotrophic fungi and bacteria (146)

While the potential source of Nmdashthe atmospheremdashis theoretically unlimited this isnot the case for phosphorus (P) which is supplied mostly by weathering of minerals Pthus represents the limiting nutrient in many soils (Fig 3) Bacteria are importantmediators of the P cycle because some are able to solubilize mineral P while others mayimmobilize it in their biomass Unfortunately the involvement of bacteria in the P cyclehas received far less attention than that in the N and C cycles The main mechanismresponsible for P uptake by bacteria is through the solubilization and uptake ofinorganic P its most abundant source The ability to solubilize inorganic P has beendescribed for different bacteria and ectomycorrhizal fungi present in the rhizosphereand soil This ability is related to the release of organic anions such as citrategluconate oxalate and succinate into the soil (220) Phosphatase enzymes releasephosphate from organic phosphate esters during organic matter decay (221) In arecent metagenomic analysis of temperate forest soils it was highlighted that membersof the Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria dom-inated the processes related to P turnover (222 223) While genes related to Psolubilization are more abundant in P-rich soil those that play a role in P uptakesystems are more abundant in P-limited soil (222)

mount importance for prediction of the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatechange (224) Future climatic conditions are predicted to produce tree species migra-tion (225 226) an increase in extreme events such as droughts and wildfires and anincrease in vegetation productivity due to longer growth seasons (13 227 228) Theseeffects in combination with other phenomena such as increased N deposition maycause dramatic shifts in global C fluxes in particular affecting the boreal and temperateforests of the northern continental regions (229ndash231) The high diversity of C com-pounds released into the soils and the complex structures of bacterial and fungalcommunities with their overlapping functions create a very complex system that isdifficult to incorporate into predictive models (16) The complex nonlinear interactionsbetween forest and atmosphere have the capacity to constrain or amplify climatechange-associated processes depending on the activity of soil bacteria and fungi(232ndash234) Recent studies investigating the effects of global change on ecosystemproperties offer the first clues to the prediction of future developments (Table 1)

Increasing CO2 concentrations are predicted to boost NPP in boreal and temperateforests (235) however their capacity to maintain such high levels of NPP will stronglydepend on their ability to overcome nutrient limitations (236) Unfortunately thedegree to which forests will persist as C sinks remains uncertain (237) in particular therhizosphere priming effect may be reduced and the increased NPP may increase soil Cstorage (238 239) It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset byC sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of bothtrees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions

Thus how do CO2 levels affect bacterial populations in forest topsoils And is itpossible to generalize the observations obtained across ecosystems for different soilswith various vegetations The effects of elevated CO2 levels do not directly affect soilbacterial populations CO2 concentrations in soil pores are normally higher than thosein the atmosphere and the response of bacteria to small CO2 changes is thus negligible(240) As a result the observed effects are mostly indirectly driven by altered plantproduction and root exudation which are both tree species specific In additionchanges in organic acid exudation by mycorrhizal fungi as a result of the presence ofCO2 will affect the bacterial community composition (152) and this process alsodepends on the vegetation properties It is difficult to determine whether the functionalresponses of bacterial communities to CO2 will be similar across forests or will dependon soil and vegetation characteristics The expected increase in root exudation shouldgenerally favor the development of soil copiotrophic bacteria over specialized olig-otrophs A good example of this response is the decrease in abundance of oligotrophicAcidobacteria in various soils following an increase in CO2 (144 152 238 240) Such ageneral response is rather exceptional considering that different members of the samephylum often respond differently to the same disturbance (241) The increased abun-dance of certain bacterial taxa will have functional consequences only if their functionaltraits do not change in response to the treatment which may explain the sometimescontroversial results obtained for responses to CO2 in different forest soils despite thefairly consistent response of bacterial abundance after an increase in CO2 (238 240242) For example while some studies have indicated that an elevated CO2 level doesnot affect the AOB abundance or nitrifying activity (207) others have described anincrease in nitrification or nitrifying taxa (240 243) even in an unaltered bacterialcommunity Thus it is unclear whether the effects of increased CO2 levels on bacterialbiomass richness community composition and functionality will be consistent acrossdifferent forest ecosystems

Global Warming

The rise in temperature is intimately linked to the increased CO2 concentration inthe atmosphere because the latter largely causes the former Although both processesappear globally the extent of the rise in temperature is predicted to be pronounced in

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Page 7: Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem ...and boreal forests. Although most studies have focused on fungi, forest soil bac-teria also play important roles in this

(82) Despite these initial studies little is still known about the community dynamics ofwood-inhabiting bacteria or their interactions with wood-decaying fungi (81) Consid-ering that multiple bacteria are able to utilize cellulose and other recalcitrant plantpolymers and that the fungal biomass is highly abundant in deadwood the involve-ment of bacteria in the decomposition of lignocellulose and fungal mycelia appears tobe highly probable

Bacteria in Forest Soils

Forest soils are among the most diverse microbial habitats on Earth in whichbacteria are the most abundant group of microorganisms (4 85) Forest soils arecharacterized by a sharp vertical stratification resulting from the decomposition oflitter-derived organic matter and the weathering of the mineral matrix The decreasingcontent and quality of organic matter with soil depth are accompanied by decreases inmicrobial biomass respiration and activity of extracellular enzymes For example in aQuercus petraea forest soil organic matter decreased 10-fold bacterial biomass 8-foldand enzyme activity 5-fold to 20-fold across the top 5 cm of the soil profile (86) Thetemperate forest soil profile typically comprises the organic horizon representing amixture of processed plant-derived organic matter and soil components and themineral soil horizon with a lower content of organic matter originating from both thedecomposition of organic matter and exudation from abundant tree roots The bacte-rial communities are horizon specific although they display a high level of taxonoverlap (56) For example the organic and mineral horizons in a temperate Quercusforest are dominated by Acidobacteria (accounting for 40 to 50 of all sequences)together with members of the Actinobacteria Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (56)Bacterial communities in coniferous forest soils also differ among horizons AlthoughAcidobacteria Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria are most abundant in organic as wellas mineral horizons the organic horizon is richer in Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (887) which have been proposed to preferentially utilize easily accessible carbon sub-strates (73 88) In contrast communities in the mineral soil harbor a larger proportionof Firmicutes and Chlorofexi organisms that are more adapted to the use of recalcitrantcarbon substrates and inorganic nutrients

The high abundance of Acidobacteria Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria acrossforest soils (87 89ndash92) appears to indicate their functional importance These threephyla also dominated the active fraction of a P abies soil comprising 80 to 90 ofrRNA molecules and were responsible for the bulk of bacterial transcription (8 55)

The soil bacterial community composition has been shown to display biogeograph-ical patterns on a continental scale that are predictable but differ from the well-studiedplant and animal community patterns (44) The first comprehensive study indicatedthat the soil pH is the most important driver of the bacterial community compositionand this observation was confirmed in multiple studies that focused specifically onforest soils (43 93ndash97) Whereas Acidobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria are abundant inacidic soils (8 96 98 99) the abundances of Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria increasewith a rising pH (43 94 100)

The preference of bacterial taxa for niches with certain nutrient contents andorganic matter quality is indicative of their ecological strategy The abundance ofAcidobacteria was initially negatively correlated with the C availability in soils corrob-orating the idea that Acidobacteria are slow-growing oligotrophs that have adapted toresource limitations (73 101 102) However the present results show that members ofthe Acidobacteria inhabit soils across a wide range of C contents representing onaverage 20 of all bacteria their abundance may exceed 60 in acidic forest soilswhere both the content of organic matter and the allocation of C by tree roots are high(43 103) Acidobacteria show a high level of metabolic versatility that allows them todecompose complex C substrates derived from the recalcitrant SOM pool (69 101)Recently subdivision 1 Acidobacteria from acidic coniferous forest soil were demon-strated to utilize C from cellulose and to produce high titers of extracellular enzymes(31 104) indicating their involvement in decomposition in these soils Unfortunately

due to their limited culturability little is known about the ecophysiology of othersubdivisions of Acidobacteria and the Planctomycetes except that they are common inforest soils (105 106) Verrucomicrobia which are also abundant in forest soils (56 107108) show an increased abundance with soil depth (109) but it is unclear whether thisis due to their preference for the oligotrophic environment or to the occupation ofspecific microniches Members of the phylum Bacteroidetes such as the genus Muci-laginibacter which are common in forest soils have been shown to be potent decom-posers of cellulose and other biopolymers (31 33 104)

Importantly some soil bacteria are involved in the weathering of minerals a processof great importance in nutrient-poor soils where minerals represent an important poolof inorganic nutrients (37 110) Members of the Betaproteobacteria such as the generaBurkholderia and Collimonas have been recognized as efficient mineral-weatheringbacteria These taxa are common in both deciduous and coniferous forest soils (31 56106 108 110ndash112)

For linking of the presence of bacteria or their activity to soil properties it isimportant that soil is a complex of microniches with heterogeneous physicochemicalproperties on various scales Because bacteria inhabit small niches the properties oftheir immediate environment rather than the mean soil properties affect the localbacterial community This spatial heterogeneity has been shown to result in theheterogeneity of bacterial communities on small scales of 1 cm (113) Furthermorelocal dispersal limitations can also remarkably influence the bacterial communitycomposition (93 114) Considering the high level of spatial variation of forest C stockson the same scale (115) the occurrence of individual taxa in forest soil may actually behighly variable on a small scale and may differ among activity hot spots such as therhizosphere and the bulk soil (49 50) The transient nature of some physicochemicalfactors such as soil moisture can strongly influence the physical connectivity of the soilmatrix affecting bacterial and nutrient dispersion and as a consequence rates of keysoil processes (116ndash118) Our ability to define and identify activity hot spots and toanalyze their properties as well as the abundance composition and function of theirbacterial inhabitants will be critical in future analyses to increase our mechanisticunderstanding of the roles of bacteria in biogeochemical processes

Rhizosphere Bacterial Communities

In temperate and boreal forests most C enters the soil food web via the roots in theform of labile C compounds such as sugars amino acids and organic acids (119 120)with approximately one-third of the plant net primary production (NPP) allocated toroots and soil (121) Indeed root exudation water and nutrient uptake by roots decayrespiration and physicochemical changes in soil are important factors influencing thecomposition and function of the microbial community in the rhizosphere with bio-geochemical consequences for the entire soils (46 122)

The roots and rhizospheres of trees as well as ground vegetation associate withfungi to form mycorrhiza While the ground vegetation mostly forms a symbioticrelationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi (29)more than 90 of forest trees in temperate and boreal zones participate in ectomy-corrhizal (ECM) symbiosis and only a minority of trees associate with AM (123) ThusECM is the quantitatively most prevalent and explored mycorrhizal type in forests (124)ECM fungi form mantels around tree root tips and their mycelia extend into surround-ing soils that are used to provide mineral nutrients to their hosts (62 124 125) Fungalassociations of AM with trees are much less common and are confined to a few treespecies (38) Due to the large absorptive area and exudation of labile compounds byECM hyphae the mycorrhizosphere and mycosphere represent important niches withfeatures that differ from the nonmycorrhizal rhizosphere and bulk soil hosting differentbacterial communities (62 126 127) The exudation of labile C by tree roots ormycorrhizal hyphae enhances the availability of C in the rhizosphere and consequentlythe microbial abundance and activity of extracellular enzymes in comparison to thosein the bulk soil (128ndash131) The input of labile C compounds into the rhizosphere selects

for bacterial strains with rapid growth and low-affinity substrate enzymes (r-strategists)that are enriched in comparison to the bulk soil profile (73 132) The quantity andquality of exudates select for specific microbial communities and the expression ofspecific genes and may prime the decomposition of recalcitrant organic matter (133134) Considering the seasonal changes in NPP seasonality is a major driver of microbialcommunity composition and functioning in the rhizosphere (135)

Despite the importance of the associated ecological processes bacterial communi-ties inhabiting rhizospheres in forests have been explored much less than those fromgrasslands or agricultural systems Recent studies from nonforest environments such asgrasslands (136 137) croplands (138ndash140) and other ecosystems (134 141ndash143)concluded that the rhizosphere contains a certain subset of the bulk soil microbiomewhich is enriched in members of the Proteobacteria Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes(136 140 142 143) The dominance of Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actino-bacteria and Bacteroidetes was also observed in the rhizospheres of beeches in amountainous forest (144) These observations suggest the enrichment of copiotrophicbacterial taxa (73 138 145)

The microbiomes surrounding the ECM roots and hyphae also differ from those in bulksoil (106 127 136) An enrichment of Proteobacteria (eg Burkholderia Rhizobium andPseudomonas) and Actinobacteria (such as Streptomyces) in the mycorrhizosphere wasreported based on culture-dependent studies (41 124 146ndash148) A recent molecular studyof Pinus sylvestris mycorrhizospheres indicated that the community composition is muchmore complex and includes both copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria (149)

Various roles ranging from mycorrhiza helpers to mycophages have been assignedto the ECM-associated bacteria (124) The mycorrhiza helper bacteria (MHB) isolatedfrom the mycorrhizospheres of different ECM symbionts either enhance the formationof mycorrhiza or support the previously established symbiosis (126 150 151) In themycorrhizosphere plants ECM fungi and bacteria form tripartite associations in whicheach player critically affects the metabolism of the others It has been proposed thatECM fungi select for bacterial communities through the exudation of low-molecular-weight compounds such as organic acids and amino acids (116 152) Different ECMfungi in a similar environment can host very similar bacterial communities that aresuited for this niche (146) MHB influence both ECM fungi and their plant host Forexample MHB from the genera Pseudomonas and Streptomyces promote mycorrhizaformation by modifying the gene expression of the ECM leading to acceleratedmycelial growth and stimulating the formation of new lateral roots (92 150 153)Rhizosphere bacteria also provide additional benefits to plants For example StreptomycesAcH 505 is an antagonist of plant pathogens and can induce defense mechanisms in Pabies and Quercus robur (125 154 155) Other very-well-known bacteria promoting plantvigor are endophytes such as the members of the genus Rhizobium which form noduleson the roots of Alnus plants fix gaseous N and provide it to their host

BACTERIAL INVOLVEMENT IN ECOSYSTEM PROCESSESRole of Bacteria in the Carbon Cycle

Forest soils store two-thirds of the terrestrial C (156) The flux of C is initiated by thefixation of atmospheric CO2 by photosynthesis and mediated by the allocation ofrecalcitrant and simple organic compounds into the soil (Fig 3) When plant debris andsimple organic compounds are decomposed and used by microorganisms to build theirbiomass some C is returned to the atmosphere via respiration Because root exudatescan readily be assimilated by soil microorganisms decomposition of the dead plantbiomass has been highlighted as the key process regulating C flow in soil systems thatinfluences the ratio between C mineralization and immobilization (156)

Recent studies indicated that bacteria play a more important role in the transfor-mation of the dead plant biomass than was previously assumed and significantlycontribute to decomposition processes in litter and soil (31ndash33) The plant biomass iscomposed largely of lignocellulose a highly organized and interlinked mix of differentpolymers that contains various amounts of cellulose hemicelluloses and lignin (157)

Because of the presence of hemicelluloses in a recalcitrant complex with lignincellulose represents the most accessible biopolymer and its degradation is thus akey step in the C cycle The most important enzymes involved in this process areendocellulases exocellulases and -glucosidases Together with these enzymes adiverse set of hemicellulases such as endoxylanases xylosidases xyloglucanasesendomannanases mannosidases fucosidases arabinosidases pectinases and ligni-nolytic enzymes are necessary for the hydrolysis of other polymers that are present inthe plant biomass (158) The genes encoding cellulases are present in 24 of allsequenced bacterial genomes (159) and glycosyl hydrolases that degrade other plantstructural biopolymers are also common (30) Recently Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar et al (33)isolated cellulolytic bacteria belonging to a variety of phyla from a deciduous foresttopsoil and they demonstrated for the first time the presence of cellulolytic membersamong some abundant soil genera eg Mucilaginibacter Luteibacter and PedobacterOther studies highlight the important ecological role of strains of the phyla Acidobac-teria and Actinobacteria as degraders of plant biomass polysaccharides in the acidicsoils of temperate forests (31 104 160)

Genomes of several forest soil bacteria encode proteins involved in decompositionof dead plant biomass (33 161ndash163) In addition to promotion by hydrolytic enzymesefficient hydrolysis is often promoted by the presence of carbohydrate-binding mod-ules (CBM) that are part of either the enzymes or bacterial cell surfaces (157) Genescoding for proteins that are involved in signal transduction nutrient binding andtransport are often found in the same operons as hydrolase genes Some of theseproteins such as the TonB-dependent receptors have been established as plantcarbohydrate scavengers (164) Other auxiliary proteins such as the substrate-bindingproteins (SBPs) from ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters have been shown to becapable of binding a variety of plant cell wall soluble and insoluble saccharidesincluding microcrystalline or amorphous cellulose xyloglucan xylan and mannan(165) The rich suite of these auxiliary proteins expressed by a Paenibacillus sp strainfrom a temperate forest soil suggests their important involvement in polysaccharide

decomposition (162) A suite of carbohydrate-binding proteins such as type IV pili andan atypical oxidative cellulase in a cellulolytic Luteibacter species from temperate forestsoil demonstrates the variability among the cellulolytic systems of bacteria whichremain far from being completely described (33 166 167) Since plant biomassrepresents a renewable and abundant resource for the production of environmentallyfriendly chemicals and biofuels (168) forest topsoils represent a rich potential source ofbacterial strains with biotechnological relevance (169 170)

Soil bacteria are also able to contribute to the breakdown of phenolic compoundsincluding lignin although their efficiency is typically much lower than that of fungi (34160) Ligninolytic bacteria can be found among the Proteobacteria (genera such asSphingomonas Burkholderia Enterobacter Ochrobacterium and Pseudomonas amongothers) Firmicutes (Bacillus and Paenibacillus) and Actinobacteria (Rhodococcus Myco-bacterium Microbacterium and Streptomyces) (35 171) and there is evidence thatpotentially ligninolytic taxa are common in soils For example abundant bacteriallaccase genes have been found in temperate hardwood forests (172) and bacterial taxapossessing laccases such as Burkholderia Bradyrhizobium and Azospirillum are highlyactive in forest soils (173) However even if the enzymology of bacterial lignin degra-dation is poorly understood compared to that for fungi bacteria may use ligninolyticperoxidases and laccases to reduce the toxicity of phenolic compounds rather than todegrade lignin

In addition to plant biomass fungal mycelia represent an important pool of organicmatter in forest litter and soil (174) Forest ecosystems are dominated by ectomycor-rhizal fungi (ECM) with a biomass of up to 600 kg ha1 (147 151) and the annualproduction of fungal mycelia in a spruce forest ranges from 100 to 300 kg ha1 (77)Fungal mycelia represent a large C and N pool that typically contains chitin and otherpolysaccharides such as glucans and glucomannans as well as phenolics such asmelanin (75 175) Fungal biomass represents a more readily decomposable substratethan lignocellulose and bacteria have been reported to be more important contribu-tors than fungi to its decomposition (75 176) The bacteria associated with fungalbiomass decomposition represent a specific subset of the litter and soil communitiesdominated by Pseudomonas Ewingella Pedobacter Variovorax Stenotrophomonas andChitinophaga genera that are known to produce chitinolytic enzymes (75) Chitinolyticenzymes which are represented by chitinases and N-acetylglucosaminidases appear tobe widespread in bacterial genomes especially Actinobacteria (30 177) The membersof this phylum often contain several chitinase genes as well as a diverse array ofcorresponding CBMs and they often also possess -13-glucanases thus encompassinga complex set of enzymes that potentially target fungal cell walls (178) Chitinaseproduction by soil bacteria is a complex adaptation that combines a nutritional strategywith potential involvement in the antagonistic interactions with fungi (178 179)Although the bacterial biomass in forest soils has a size similar to that of fungi (55) theprocess of bacterial cell wall polymer decomposition is far less understood Theinvolvement of Planctomycetes Verrucomicrobia Armatinomonadetes or candidate di-vision OD1 in the degradation of bacterial exopolysaccharides produced in soil wasrecently demonstrated (180)

Finally a large fraction of C in forest ecosystems is allocated belowground duringthe vegetation period via tree roots in the form of root exudates (181 182) Up to 40of newly photosynthesized C can be allocated to the soil via roots where it is rapidlyrespired or incorporated into the microbial biomass (183 184) The rhizosphereincluding the root-associated mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi is thus probably the mostimportant C allocation hot spot in forest soils and is strongly influenced by plant activity(185) Because ECM fungi cover most of the fine roots and root tips the largest fractionof this C is allocated to them (186) The fraction of assimilates that is exuded directlyfrom roots into the rhizosphere is estimated to range from 1 to 5 and is composedmainly of carbohydrates amino acids and organic acids (120 187) The rhizodepositionof C by plants exhibits severalfold seasonal differences that correspond to the intensityof photosynthesis throughout the year (182) While direct evidence of a net C flux from

plants to rhizosphere microbiota has been shown for many crops little is known aboutthe structure and function of bacterial and fungal communities that are activelyinvolved in the assimilation of root exudates in forest ecosystems (188) Althoughdecomposer fungi can find suitable conditions in the nonmycorrhizal rhizospheres oftrees this niche has traditionally been considered bacterium dominated because theirrapid growth favors their utilization of root exudates (185) Recent studies indicatedthat soil bacteria indeed use root exudates in forest soils (189) and the seasonalproduction of root exudates leads to an increase in bacterial biomass as well as in theshare of the rhizosphere- and mycorrhizosphere-specific bacteria in mineral soil insummer (56 70) In the same way as that of tree roots hyphae of ectomycorrhizal fungiexude low-molecular-weight organic compounds that support diverse bacterial com-munities (78 190) The rhizosphere of roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi is specificin that a portion of the plant-derived C is released into the soil through the ECMmycelium (155) As a consequence ECM fungi constitute a nutrient hot spot for othermicroorganisms because the fungal symbionts have a very large surface area andreceive a direct supply of photosynthetic C (149) Soil bacteria have been found to growabundantly and rapidly at the expense of the exudates from P sylvestris roots colonizedby Piloderma supporting a role for the bacteria in the metabolism of the organic acidsand other compounds produced by the fungus (152) The observation that thesebacteria are able to utilize fungal sugars more readily than plant sugars supports theexistence of a bacterial guild that is specialized for hyphal exudates (191)

Methane represents a gaseous form of organic C that can be oxidized by certainforest soil bacteria under aerobic conditions (192) These methanotrophic bacteria arethe main consumers of atmospheric methane as well as methane generated bymethanogenic archaea in waterlogged anaerobic horizons of certain soils (193ndash196)Due to the presence of methanotrophic bacteria forest soils (especially those of theboreal forests) may represent a sink of atmospheric methane Although methanotrophsare phylogenetically located in two bacterial phyla most of the characterized isolatesbelong to the Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria (197) The discovery ofnew acidophilic methanotrophs related to Verrucomicrobia recently revealed a higherlevel of diversity of methanotrophic bacteria in as yet unexplored acidic environments(198) In addition to using organic C sources certain soil bacteria are able to fix CO2These autotrophic taxa were described for the genus Bradyrhizobium (Betaproteobac-teria) whose members are abundant inhabitants of forest soils (199 200) and a recenttranscriptomic study confirmed the expression of the components of a photosyntheticapparatus in the Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria The input of C into forest soilsthrough fixation is however apparently minimal (55)

Role of Bacteria in Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycles

Nitrogen is the most common limiting nutrient in soils entering the ecosystemlargely through fixation (Fig 3) This process is dominated by bacteria that are esti-mated to be responsible for more than 95 of the N input in unmanaged environments(36 201) The presence of the nifH gene of the Alphaproteobacteria (BradyrhizobiumAzospirillum Hyphomicrobium and Gluconacetobacter) and Deltaproteobacteria (Geo-bacter spp) was observed in different temperate forest soils demonstrating the ubiq-uity of some N-fixing bacteria not only as symbiotic but also as free-living taxa (200)The observed diversity of N-fixing bacteria may rapidly change if there is an exogenousinput of N (36) Particularly in temperate forest soils that are strongly affected byanthropogenic N deposition N input is a good predictor of N fixation activity (202)

Nitrification and denitrification lead to the loss of N from soils through NO N2O andN2 gas emissions as well as through the leaching of NO3 if its concentration exceeds theecosystem retention capacity (203 204) Among these nitrous oxide is a particularlypowerful greenhouse gas with a potentially warming effect that is almost 300 timeslarger than that of CO2 (205) Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia tonitrate via a multienzymatic process The amoA gene encoding ammonia oxidasewhich performs the first step of nitrification is present in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria

(AOB) as well as ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) but AOB rather than AOA seem todominate in soils (206 207) The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is often limiting intemperate and boreal forest soils (208) All known AOB belong to the Betaproteobac-teria and Gammaproteobacteria and they are mostly represented by the genera Nitro-somonas Nitrosococcus and Nitrosospira Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira are furthersubdivided into clusters with different responses to environmental drivers such asacidity pH and ammonia availability and due to that changes in soil N availability canresult in dramatic shifts in the composition of the AOB community (206 208 209)Nitrosospira seems to be the most abundant AOB in acidic forest soils with low NH4

contents (206 210 211) The amoA gene content however appears to vary acrossforest soils (212) Nitrification rates seem to be correlated with the AOB abundance insoil (209 213) AOB are also involved in N losses from soil by producing N2O duringdenitrification (214) Denitrification is essential for the global N cycle maintaining thereduction of nitrate or nitrite to gaseous nitrogen compounds such as N2 and nitrousoxide The denitrification pathway is known as dissimilatory nitrate reduction becausenitrate or nitrogen oxides are the final electron acceptors allowing bacteria to produceenergy at the expense of reduced electron donors in the absence of oxygen Denitri-fying bacteria are not always able to perform all the steps of the dissimilatory pathwayand incomplete denitrification is the major source of N2O emissions from soils (215)Denitrification can be addressed by studying marker genes involved in the individualenzymatic steps such as the reduction of nitrate (narG) nitrite (nirKnirS) nitric oxide(norB) and nitrous oxide (nosZ) (205) Denitrifying bacteria are abundant and wide-spread in forest soils and denitrification genes have been found in bacterial strainsbelonging to the Acidobacteria Proteobacteria and Firmicutes as well as in otherbacterial phyla (216ndash218) A significant correlation was described among gene abun-dances denitrification rates and NO and N2O fluxes confirming the importance of theircarriers for the environmental processes that occur in forest soils (69 203 219) Inaddition to mineral N forms bacteria may obtain N from a range of organic compoundspresent in forest soils namely the chitin present in the polysaccharides of fungalmycelia and the amino acids and proteins in dead organic matter The utilization ofthese compounds is expected to be subject to intensive competition among ectomy-corrhizal fungi saprotrophic fungi and bacteria (146)

While the potential source of Nmdashthe atmospheremdashis theoretically unlimited this isnot the case for phosphorus (P) which is supplied mostly by weathering of minerals Pthus represents the limiting nutrient in many soils (Fig 3) Bacteria are importantmediators of the P cycle because some are able to solubilize mineral P while others mayimmobilize it in their biomass Unfortunately the involvement of bacteria in the P cyclehas received far less attention than that in the N and C cycles The main mechanismresponsible for P uptake by bacteria is through the solubilization and uptake ofinorganic P its most abundant source The ability to solubilize inorganic P has beendescribed for different bacteria and ectomycorrhizal fungi present in the rhizosphereand soil This ability is related to the release of organic anions such as citrategluconate oxalate and succinate into the soil (220) Phosphatase enzymes releasephosphate from organic phosphate esters during organic matter decay (221) In arecent metagenomic analysis of temperate forest soils it was highlighted that membersof the Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria dom-inated the processes related to P turnover (222 223) While genes related to Psolubilization are more abundant in P-rich soil those that play a role in P uptakesystems are more abundant in P-limited soil (222)

mount importance for prediction of the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatechange (224) Future climatic conditions are predicted to produce tree species migra-tion (225 226) an increase in extreme events such as droughts and wildfires and anincrease in vegetation productivity due to longer growth seasons (13 227 228) Theseeffects in combination with other phenomena such as increased N deposition maycause dramatic shifts in global C fluxes in particular affecting the boreal and temperateforests of the northern continental regions (229ndash231) The high diversity of C com-pounds released into the soils and the complex structures of bacterial and fungalcommunities with their overlapping functions create a very complex system that isdifficult to incorporate into predictive models (16) The complex nonlinear interactionsbetween forest and atmosphere have the capacity to constrain or amplify climatechange-associated processes depending on the activity of soil bacteria and fungi(232ndash234) Recent studies investigating the effects of global change on ecosystemproperties offer the first clues to the prediction of future developments (Table 1)

Carbon Dioxide

Increasing CO2 concentrations are predicted to boost NPP in boreal and temperateforests (235) however their capacity to maintain such high levels of NPP will stronglydepend on their ability to overcome nutrient limitations (236) Unfortunately thedegree to which forests will persist as C sinks remains uncertain (237) in particular therhizosphere priming effect may be reduced and the increased NPP may increase soil Cstorage (238 239) It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset byC sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of bothtrees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions

Thus how do CO2 levels affect bacterial populations in forest topsoils And is itpossible to generalize the observations obtained across ecosystems for different soilswith various vegetations The effects of elevated CO2 levels do not directly affect soilbacterial populations CO2 concentrations in soil pores are normally higher than thosein the atmosphere and the response of bacteria to small CO2 changes is thus negligible(240) As a result the observed effects are mostly indirectly driven by altered plantproduction and root exudation which are both tree species specific In additionchanges in organic acid exudation by mycorrhizal fungi as a result of the presence ofCO2 will affect the bacterial community composition (152) and this process alsodepends on the vegetation properties It is difficult to determine whether the functionalresponses of bacterial communities to CO2 will be similar across forests or will dependon soil and vegetation characteristics The expected increase in root exudation shouldgenerally favor the development of soil copiotrophic bacteria over specialized olig-otrophs A good example of this response is the decrease in abundance of oligotrophicAcidobacteria in various soils following an increase in CO2 (144 152 238 240) Such ageneral response is rather exceptional considering that different members of the samephylum often respond differently to the same disturbance (241) The increased abun-dance of certain bacterial taxa will have functional consequences only if their functionaltraits do not change in response to the treatment which may explain the sometimescontroversial results obtained for responses to CO2 in different forest soils despite thefairly consistent response of bacterial abundance after an increase in CO2 (238 240242) For example while some studies have indicated that an elevated CO2 level doesnot affect the AOB abundance or nitrifying activity (207) others have described anincrease in nitrification or nitrifying taxa (240 243) even in an unaltered bacterialcommunity Thus it is unclear whether the effects of increased CO2 levels on bacterialbiomass richness community composition and functionality will be consistent acrossdifferent forest ecosystems

The rise in temperature is intimately linked to the increased CO2 concentration inthe atmosphere because the latter largely causes the former Although both processesappear globally the extent of the rise in temperature is predicted to be pronounced in

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Page 8: Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem ...and boreal forests. Although most studies have focused on fungi, forest soil bac-teria also play important roles in this

due to their limited culturability little is known about the ecophysiology of othersubdivisions of Acidobacteria and the Planctomycetes except that they are common inforest soils (105 106) Verrucomicrobia which are also abundant in forest soils (56 107108) show an increased abundance with soil depth (109) but it is unclear whether thisis due to their preference for the oligotrophic environment or to the occupation ofspecific microniches Members of the phylum Bacteroidetes such as the genus Muci-laginibacter which are common in forest soils have been shown to be potent decom-posers of cellulose and other biopolymers (31 33 104)

Importantly some soil bacteria are involved in the weathering of minerals a processof great importance in nutrient-poor soils where minerals represent an important poolof inorganic nutrients (37 110) Members of the Betaproteobacteria such as the generaBurkholderia and Collimonas have been recognized as efficient mineral-weatheringbacteria These taxa are common in both deciduous and coniferous forest soils (31 56106 108 110ndash112)

For linking of the presence of bacteria or their activity to soil properties it isimportant that soil is a complex of microniches with heterogeneous physicochemicalproperties on various scales Because bacteria inhabit small niches the properties oftheir immediate environment rather than the mean soil properties affect the localbacterial community This spatial heterogeneity has been shown to result in theheterogeneity of bacterial communities on small scales of 1 cm (113) Furthermorelocal dispersal limitations can also remarkably influence the bacterial communitycomposition (93 114) Considering the high level of spatial variation of forest C stockson the same scale (115) the occurrence of individual taxa in forest soil may actually behighly variable on a small scale and may differ among activity hot spots such as therhizosphere and the bulk soil (49 50) The transient nature of some physicochemicalfactors such as soil moisture can strongly influence the physical connectivity of the soilmatrix affecting bacterial and nutrient dispersion and as a consequence rates of keysoil processes (116ndash118) Our ability to define and identify activity hot spots and toanalyze their properties as well as the abundance composition and function of theirbacterial inhabitants will be critical in future analyses to increase our mechanisticunderstanding of the roles of bacteria in biogeochemical processes

Rhizosphere Bacterial Communities

In temperate and boreal forests most C enters the soil food web via the roots in theform of labile C compounds such as sugars amino acids and organic acids (119 120)with approximately one-third of the plant net primary production (NPP) allocated toroots and soil (121) Indeed root exudation water and nutrient uptake by roots decayrespiration and physicochemical changes in soil are important factors influencing thecomposition and function of the microbial community in the rhizosphere with bio-geochemical consequences for the entire soils (46 122)

The roots and rhizospheres of trees as well as ground vegetation associate withfungi to form mycorrhiza While the ground vegetation mostly forms a symbioticrelationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi (29)more than 90 of forest trees in temperate and boreal zones participate in ectomy-corrhizal (ECM) symbiosis and only a minority of trees associate with AM (123) ThusECM is the quantitatively most prevalent and explored mycorrhizal type in forests (124)ECM fungi form mantels around tree root tips and their mycelia extend into surround-ing soils that are used to provide mineral nutrients to their hosts (62 124 125) Fungalassociations of AM with trees are much less common and are confined to a few treespecies (38) Due to the large absorptive area and exudation of labile compounds byECM hyphae the mycorrhizosphere and mycosphere represent important niches withfeatures that differ from the nonmycorrhizal rhizosphere and bulk soil hosting differentbacterial communities (62 126 127) The exudation of labile C by tree roots ormycorrhizal hyphae enhances the availability of C in the rhizosphere and consequentlythe microbial abundance and activity of extracellular enzymes in comparison to thosein the bulk soil (128ndash131) The input of labile C compounds into the rhizosphere selects

for bacterial strains with rapid growth and low-affinity substrate enzymes (r-strategists)that are enriched in comparison to the bulk soil profile (73 132) The quantity andquality of exudates select for specific microbial communities and the expression ofspecific genes and may prime the decomposition of recalcitrant organic matter (133134) Considering the seasonal changes in NPP seasonality is a major driver of microbialcommunity composition and functioning in the rhizosphere (135)

Despite the importance of the associated ecological processes bacterial communi-ties inhabiting rhizospheres in forests have been explored much less than those fromgrasslands or agricultural systems Recent studies from nonforest environments such asgrasslands (136 137) croplands (138ndash140) and other ecosystems (134 141ndash143)concluded that the rhizosphere contains a certain subset of the bulk soil microbiomewhich is enriched in members of the Proteobacteria Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes(136 140 142 143) The dominance of Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actino-bacteria and Bacteroidetes was also observed in the rhizospheres of beeches in amountainous forest (144) These observations suggest the enrichment of copiotrophicbacterial taxa (73 138 145)

The microbiomes surrounding the ECM roots and hyphae also differ from those in bulksoil (106 127 136) An enrichment of Proteobacteria (eg Burkholderia Rhizobium andPseudomonas) and Actinobacteria (such as Streptomyces) in the mycorrhizosphere wasreported based on culture-dependent studies (41 124 146ndash148) A recent molecular studyof Pinus sylvestris mycorrhizospheres indicated that the community composition is muchmore complex and includes both copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria (149)

Various roles ranging from mycorrhiza helpers to mycophages have been assignedto the ECM-associated bacteria (124) The mycorrhiza helper bacteria (MHB) isolatedfrom the mycorrhizospheres of different ECM symbionts either enhance the formationof mycorrhiza or support the previously established symbiosis (126 150 151) In themycorrhizosphere plants ECM fungi and bacteria form tripartite associations in whicheach player critically affects the metabolism of the others It has been proposed thatECM fungi select for bacterial communities through the exudation of low-molecular-weight compounds such as organic acids and amino acids (116 152) Different ECMfungi in a similar environment can host very similar bacterial communities that aresuited for this niche (146) MHB influence both ECM fungi and their plant host Forexample MHB from the genera Pseudomonas and Streptomyces promote mycorrhizaformation by modifying the gene expression of the ECM leading to acceleratedmycelial growth and stimulating the formation of new lateral roots (92 150 153)Rhizosphere bacteria also provide additional benefits to plants For example StreptomycesAcH 505 is an antagonist of plant pathogens and can induce defense mechanisms in Pabies and Quercus robur (125 154 155) Other very-well-known bacteria promoting plantvigor are endophytes such as the members of the genus Rhizobium which form noduleson the roots of Alnus plants fix gaseous N and provide it to their host

BACTERIAL INVOLVEMENT IN ECOSYSTEM PROCESSESRole of Bacteria in the Carbon Cycle

Forest soils store two-thirds of the terrestrial C (156) The flux of C is initiated by thefixation of atmospheric CO2 by photosynthesis and mediated by the allocation ofrecalcitrant and simple organic compounds into the soil (Fig 3) When plant debris andsimple organic compounds are decomposed and used by microorganisms to build theirbiomass some C is returned to the atmosphere via respiration Because root exudatescan readily be assimilated by soil microorganisms decomposition of the dead plantbiomass has been highlighted as the key process regulating C flow in soil systems thatinfluences the ratio between C mineralization and immobilization (156)

Recent studies indicated that bacteria play a more important role in the transfor-mation of the dead plant biomass than was previously assumed and significantlycontribute to decomposition processes in litter and soil (31ndash33) The plant biomass iscomposed largely of lignocellulose a highly organized and interlinked mix of differentpolymers that contains various amounts of cellulose hemicelluloses and lignin (157)

Because of the presence of hemicelluloses in a recalcitrant complex with lignincellulose represents the most accessible biopolymer and its degradation is thus akey step in the C cycle The most important enzymes involved in this process areendocellulases exocellulases and -glucosidases Together with these enzymes adiverse set of hemicellulases such as endoxylanases xylosidases xyloglucanasesendomannanases mannosidases fucosidases arabinosidases pectinases and ligni-nolytic enzymes are necessary for the hydrolysis of other polymers that are present inthe plant biomass (158) The genes encoding cellulases are present in 24 of allsequenced bacterial genomes (159) and glycosyl hydrolases that degrade other plantstructural biopolymers are also common (30) Recently Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar et al (33)isolated cellulolytic bacteria belonging to a variety of phyla from a deciduous foresttopsoil and they demonstrated for the first time the presence of cellulolytic membersamong some abundant soil genera eg Mucilaginibacter Luteibacter and PedobacterOther studies highlight the important ecological role of strains of the phyla Acidobac-teria and Actinobacteria as degraders of plant biomass polysaccharides in the acidicsoils of temperate forests (31 104 160)

Genomes of several forest soil bacteria encode proteins involved in decompositionof dead plant biomass (33 161ndash163) In addition to promotion by hydrolytic enzymesefficient hydrolysis is often promoted by the presence of carbohydrate-binding mod-ules (CBM) that are part of either the enzymes or bacterial cell surfaces (157) Genescoding for proteins that are involved in signal transduction nutrient binding andtransport are often found in the same operons as hydrolase genes Some of theseproteins such as the TonB-dependent receptors have been established as plantcarbohydrate scavengers (164) Other auxiliary proteins such as the substrate-bindingproteins (SBPs) from ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters have been shown to becapable of binding a variety of plant cell wall soluble and insoluble saccharidesincluding microcrystalline or amorphous cellulose xyloglucan xylan and mannan(165) The rich suite of these auxiliary proteins expressed by a Paenibacillus sp strainfrom a temperate forest soil suggests their important involvement in polysaccharide

Soil bacteria are also able to contribute to the breakdown of phenolic compoundsincluding lignin although their efficiency is typically much lower than that of fungi (34160) Ligninolytic bacteria can be found among the Proteobacteria (genera such asSphingomonas Burkholderia Enterobacter Ochrobacterium and Pseudomonas amongothers) Firmicutes (Bacillus and Paenibacillus) and Actinobacteria (Rhodococcus Myco-bacterium Microbacterium and Streptomyces) (35 171) and there is evidence thatpotentially ligninolytic taxa are common in soils For example abundant bacteriallaccase genes have been found in temperate hardwood forests (172) and bacterial taxapossessing laccases such as Burkholderia Bradyrhizobium and Azospirillum are highlyactive in forest soils (173) However even if the enzymology of bacterial lignin degra-dation is poorly understood compared to that for fungi bacteria may use ligninolyticperoxidases and laccases to reduce the toxicity of phenolic compounds rather than todegrade lignin

In addition to plant biomass fungal mycelia represent an important pool of organicmatter in forest litter and soil (174) Forest ecosystems are dominated by ectomycor-rhizal fungi (ECM) with a biomass of up to 600 kg ha1 (147 151) and the annualproduction of fungal mycelia in a spruce forest ranges from 100 to 300 kg ha1 (77)Fungal mycelia represent a large C and N pool that typically contains chitin and otherpolysaccharides such as glucans and glucomannans as well as phenolics such asmelanin (75 175) Fungal biomass represents a more readily decomposable substratethan lignocellulose and bacteria have been reported to be more important contribu-tors than fungi to its decomposition (75 176) The bacteria associated with fungalbiomass decomposition represent a specific subset of the litter and soil communitiesdominated by Pseudomonas Ewingella Pedobacter Variovorax Stenotrophomonas andChitinophaga genera that are known to produce chitinolytic enzymes (75) Chitinolyticenzymes which are represented by chitinases and N-acetylglucosaminidases appear tobe widespread in bacterial genomes especially Actinobacteria (30 177) The membersof this phylum often contain several chitinase genes as well as a diverse array ofcorresponding CBMs and they often also possess -13-glucanases thus encompassinga complex set of enzymes that potentially target fungal cell walls (178) Chitinaseproduction by soil bacteria is a complex adaptation that combines a nutritional strategywith potential involvement in the antagonistic interactions with fungi (178 179)Although the bacterial biomass in forest soils has a size similar to that of fungi (55) theprocess of bacterial cell wall polymer decomposition is far less understood Theinvolvement of Planctomycetes Verrucomicrobia Armatinomonadetes or candidate di-vision OD1 in the degradation of bacterial exopolysaccharides produced in soil wasrecently demonstrated (180)

Finally a large fraction of C in forest ecosystems is allocated belowground duringthe vegetation period via tree roots in the form of root exudates (181 182) Up to 40of newly photosynthesized C can be allocated to the soil via roots where it is rapidlyrespired or incorporated into the microbial biomass (183 184) The rhizosphereincluding the root-associated mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi is thus probably the mostimportant C allocation hot spot in forest soils and is strongly influenced by plant activity(185) Because ECM fungi cover most of the fine roots and root tips the largest fractionof this C is allocated to them (186) The fraction of assimilates that is exuded directlyfrom roots into the rhizosphere is estimated to range from 1 to 5 and is composedmainly of carbohydrates amino acids and organic acids (120 187) The rhizodepositionof C by plants exhibits severalfold seasonal differences that correspond to the intensityof photosynthesis throughout the year (182) While direct evidence of a net C flux from

plants to rhizosphere microbiota has been shown for many crops little is known aboutthe structure and function of bacterial and fungal communities that are activelyinvolved in the assimilation of root exudates in forest ecosystems (188) Althoughdecomposer fungi can find suitable conditions in the nonmycorrhizal rhizospheres oftrees this niche has traditionally been considered bacterium dominated because theirrapid growth favors their utilization of root exudates (185) Recent studies indicatedthat soil bacteria indeed use root exudates in forest soils (189) and the seasonalproduction of root exudates leads to an increase in bacterial biomass as well as in theshare of the rhizosphere- and mycorrhizosphere-specific bacteria in mineral soil insummer (56 70) In the same way as that of tree roots hyphae of ectomycorrhizal fungiexude low-molecular-weight organic compounds that support diverse bacterial com-munities (78 190) The rhizosphere of roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi is specificin that a portion of the plant-derived C is released into the soil through the ECMmycelium (155) As a consequence ECM fungi constitute a nutrient hot spot for othermicroorganisms because the fungal symbionts have a very large surface area andreceive a direct supply of photosynthetic C (149) Soil bacteria have been found to growabundantly and rapidly at the expense of the exudates from P sylvestris roots colonizedby Piloderma supporting a role for the bacteria in the metabolism of the organic acidsand other compounds produced by the fungus (152) The observation that thesebacteria are able to utilize fungal sugars more readily than plant sugars supports theexistence of a bacterial guild that is specialized for hyphal exudates (191)

Methane represents a gaseous form of organic C that can be oxidized by certainforest soil bacteria under aerobic conditions (192) These methanotrophic bacteria arethe main consumers of atmospheric methane as well as methane generated bymethanogenic archaea in waterlogged anaerobic horizons of certain soils (193ndash196)Due to the presence of methanotrophic bacteria forest soils (especially those of theboreal forests) may represent a sink of atmospheric methane Although methanotrophsare phylogenetically located in two bacterial phyla most of the characterized isolatesbelong to the Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria (197) The discovery ofnew acidophilic methanotrophs related to Verrucomicrobia recently revealed a higherlevel of diversity of methanotrophic bacteria in as yet unexplored acidic environments(198) In addition to using organic C sources certain soil bacteria are able to fix CO2These autotrophic taxa were described for the genus Bradyrhizobium (Betaproteobac-teria) whose members are abundant inhabitants of forest soils (199 200) and a recenttranscriptomic study confirmed the expression of the components of a photosyntheticapparatus in the Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria The input of C into forest soilsthrough fixation is however apparently minimal (55)

Role of Bacteria in Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycles

Nitrogen is the most common limiting nutrient in soils entering the ecosystemlargely through fixation (Fig 3) This process is dominated by bacteria that are esti-mated to be responsible for more than 95 of the N input in unmanaged environments(36 201) The presence of the nifH gene of the Alphaproteobacteria (BradyrhizobiumAzospirillum Hyphomicrobium and Gluconacetobacter) and Deltaproteobacteria (Geo-bacter spp) was observed in different temperate forest soils demonstrating the ubiq-uity of some N-fixing bacteria not only as symbiotic but also as free-living taxa (200)The observed diversity of N-fixing bacteria may rapidly change if there is an exogenousinput of N (36) Particularly in temperate forest soils that are strongly affected byanthropogenic N deposition N input is a good predictor of N fixation activity (202)

Nitrification and denitrification lead to the loss of N from soils through NO N2O andN2 gas emissions as well as through the leaching of NO3 if its concentration exceeds theecosystem retention capacity (203 204) Among these nitrous oxide is a particularlypowerful greenhouse gas with a potentially warming effect that is almost 300 timeslarger than that of CO2 (205) Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia tonitrate via a multienzymatic process The amoA gene encoding ammonia oxidasewhich performs the first step of nitrification is present in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria

(AOB) as well as ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) but AOB rather than AOA seem todominate in soils (206 207) The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is often limiting intemperate and boreal forest soils (208) All known AOB belong to the Betaproteobac-teria and Gammaproteobacteria and they are mostly represented by the genera Nitro-somonas Nitrosococcus and Nitrosospira Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira are furthersubdivided into clusters with different responses to environmental drivers such asacidity pH and ammonia availability and due to that changes in soil N availability canresult in dramatic shifts in the composition of the AOB community (206 208 209)Nitrosospira seems to be the most abundant AOB in acidic forest soils with low NH4

contents (206 210 211) The amoA gene content however appears to vary acrossforest soils (212) Nitrification rates seem to be correlated with the AOB abundance insoil (209 213) AOB are also involved in N losses from soil by producing N2O duringdenitrification (214) Denitrification is essential for the global N cycle maintaining thereduction of nitrate or nitrite to gaseous nitrogen compounds such as N2 and nitrousoxide The denitrification pathway is known as dissimilatory nitrate reduction becausenitrate or nitrogen oxides are the final electron acceptors allowing bacteria to produceenergy at the expense of reduced electron donors in the absence of oxygen Denitri-fying bacteria are not always able to perform all the steps of the dissimilatory pathwayand incomplete denitrification is the major source of N2O emissions from soils (215)Denitrification can be addressed by studying marker genes involved in the individualenzymatic steps such as the reduction of nitrate (narG) nitrite (nirKnirS) nitric oxide(norB) and nitrous oxide (nosZ) (205) Denitrifying bacteria are abundant and wide-spread in forest soils and denitrification genes have been found in bacterial strainsbelonging to the Acidobacteria Proteobacteria and Firmicutes as well as in otherbacterial phyla (216ndash218) A significant correlation was described among gene abun-dances denitrification rates and NO and N2O fluxes confirming the importance of theircarriers for the environmental processes that occur in forest soils (69 203 219) Inaddition to mineral N forms bacteria may obtain N from a range of organic compoundspresent in forest soils namely the chitin present in the polysaccharides of fungalmycelia and the amino acids and proteins in dead organic matter The utilization ofthese compounds is expected to be subject to intensive competition among ectomy-corrhizal fungi saprotrophic fungi and bacteria (146)

While the potential source of Nmdashthe atmospheremdashis theoretically unlimited this isnot the case for phosphorus (P) which is supplied mostly by weathering of minerals Pthus represents the limiting nutrient in many soils (Fig 3) Bacteria are importantmediators of the P cycle because some are able to solubilize mineral P while others mayimmobilize it in their biomass Unfortunately the involvement of bacteria in the P cyclehas received far less attention than that in the N and C cycles The main mechanismresponsible for P uptake by bacteria is through the solubilization and uptake ofinorganic P its most abundant source The ability to solubilize inorganic P has beendescribed for different bacteria and ectomycorrhizal fungi present in the rhizosphereand soil This ability is related to the release of organic anions such as citrategluconate oxalate and succinate into the soil (220) Phosphatase enzymes releasephosphate from organic phosphate esters during organic matter decay (221) In arecent metagenomic analysis of temperate forest soils it was highlighted that membersof the Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria dom-inated the processes related to P turnover (222 223) While genes related to Psolubilization are more abundant in P-rich soil those that play a role in P uptakesystems are more abundant in P-limited soil (222)

EFFECTS OF GLOBAL CHANGE ON BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES IN FORESTECOSYSTEMS

Bacteria strongly contribute to key ecological processes that are important forsociety in light of the ongoing global change (114) The determination of how rela-tionships between site factors and bacterial communities affect the equilibrium be-tween soil organic matter decomposition and C sequestration in forests is of para-

mount importance for prediction of the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatechange (224) Future climatic conditions are predicted to produce tree species migra-tion (225 226) an increase in extreme events such as droughts and wildfires and anincrease in vegetation productivity due to longer growth seasons (13 227 228) Theseeffects in combination with other phenomena such as increased N deposition maycause dramatic shifts in global C fluxes in particular affecting the boreal and temperateforests of the northern continental regions (229ndash231) The high diversity of C com-pounds released into the soils and the complex structures of bacterial and fungalcommunities with their overlapping functions create a very complex system that isdifficult to incorporate into predictive models (16) The complex nonlinear interactionsbetween forest and atmosphere have the capacity to constrain or amplify climatechange-associated processes depending on the activity of soil bacteria and fungi(232ndash234) Recent studies investigating the effects of global change on ecosystemproperties offer the first clues to the prediction of future developments (Table 1)

Carbon Dioxide

Increasing CO2 concentrations are predicted to boost NPP in boreal and temperateforests (235) however their capacity to maintain such high levels of NPP will stronglydepend on their ability to overcome nutrient limitations (236) Unfortunately thedegree to which forests will persist as C sinks remains uncertain (237) in particular therhizosphere priming effect may be reduced and the increased NPP may increase soil Cstorage (238 239) It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset byC sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of bothtrees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions

Thus how do CO2 levels affect bacterial populations in forest topsoils And is itpossible to generalize the observations obtained across ecosystems for different soilswith various vegetations The effects of elevated CO2 levels do not directly affect soilbacterial populations CO2 concentrations in soil pores are normally higher than thosein the atmosphere and the response of bacteria to small CO2 changes is thus negligible(240) As a result the observed effects are mostly indirectly driven by altered plantproduction and root exudation which are both tree species specific In additionchanges in organic acid exudation by mycorrhizal fungi as a result of the presence ofCO2 will affect the bacterial community composition (152) and this process alsodepends on the vegetation properties It is difficult to determine whether the functionalresponses of bacterial communities to CO2 will be similar across forests or will dependon soil and vegetation characteristics The expected increase in root exudation shouldgenerally favor the development of soil copiotrophic bacteria over specialized olig-otrophs A good example of this response is the decrease in abundance of oligotrophicAcidobacteria in various soils following an increase in CO2 (144 152 238 240) Such ageneral response is rather exceptional considering that different members of the samephylum often respond differently to the same disturbance (241) The increased abun-dance of certain bacterial taxa will have functional consequences only if their functionaltraits do not change in response to the treatment which may explain the sometimescontroversial results obtained for responses to CO2 in different forest soils despite thefairly consistent response of bacterial abundance after an increase in CO2 (238 240242) For example while some studies have indicated that an elevated CO2 level doesnot affect the AOB abundance or nitrifying activity (207) others have described anincrease in nitrification or nitrifying taxa (240 243) even in an unaltered bacterialcommunity Thus it is unclear whether the effects of increased CO2 levels on bacterialbiomass richness community composition and functionality will be consistent acrossdifferent forest ecosystems

Global Warming

The rise in temperature is intimately linked to the increased CO2 concentration inthe atmosphere because the latter largely causes the former Although both processesappear globally the extent of the rise in temperature is predicted to be pronounced in

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Page 9: Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem ...and boreal forests. Although most studies have focused on fungi, forest soil bac-teria also play important roles in this

for bacterial strains with rapid growth and low-affinity substrate enzymes (r-strategists)that are enriched in comparison to the bulk soil profile (73 132) The quantity andquality of exudates select for specific microbial communities and the expression ofspecific genes and may prime the decomposition of recalcitrant organic matter (133134) Considering the seasonal changes in NPP seasonality is a major driver of microbialcommunity composition and functioning in the rhizosphere (135)

Despite the importance of the associated ecological processes bacterial communi-ties inhabiting rhizospheres in forests have been explored much less than those fromgrasslands or agricultural systems Recent studies from nonforest environments such asgrasslands (136 137) croplands (138ndash140) and other ecosystems (134 141ndash143)concluded that the rhizosphere contains a certain subset of the bulk soil microbiomewhich is enriched in members of the Proteobacteria Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes(136 140 142 143) The dominance of Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actino-bacteria and Bacteroidetes was also observed in the rhizospheres of beeches in amountainous forest (144) These observations suggest the enrichment of copiotrophicbacterial taxa (73 138 145)

The microbiomes surrounding the ECM roots and hyphae also differ from those in bulksoil (106 127 136) An enrichment of Proteobacteria (eg Burkholderia Rhizobium andPseudomonas) and Actinobacteria (such as Streptomyces) in the mycorrhizosphere wasreported based on culture-dependent studies (41 124 146ndash148) A recent molecular studyof Pinus sylvestris mycorrhizospheres indicated that the community composition is muchmore complex and includes both copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria (149)

Various roles ranging from mycorrhiza helpers to mycophages have been assignedto the ECM-associated bacteria (124) The mycorrhiza helper bacteria (MHB) isolatedfrom the mycorrhizospheres of different ECM symbionts either enhance the formationof mycorrhiza or support the previously established symbiosis (126 150 151) In themycorrhizosphere plants ECM fungi and bacteria form tripartite associations in whicheach player critically affects the metabolism of the others It has been proposed thatECM fungi select for bacterial communities through the exudation of low-molecular-weight compounds such as organic acids and amino acids (116 152) Different ECMfungi in a similar environment can host very similar bacterial communities that aresuited for this niche (146) MHB influence both ECM fungi and their plant host Forexample MHB from the genera Pseudomonas and Streptomyces promote mycorrhizaformation by modifying the gene expression of the ECM leading to acceleratedmycelial growth and stimulating the formation of new lateral roots (92 150 153)Rhizosphere bacteria also provide additional benefits to plants For example StreptomycesAcH 505 is an antagonist of plant pathogens and can induce defense mechanisms in Pabies and Quercus robur (125 154 155) Other very-well-known bacteria promoting plantvigor are endophytes such as the members of the genus Rhizobium which form noduleson the roots of Alnus plants fix gaseous N and provide it to their host

BACTERIAL INVOLVEMENT IN ECOSYSTEM PROCESSESRole of Bacteria in the Carbon Cycle

Forest soils store two-thirds of the terrestrial C (156) The flux of C is initiated by thefixation of atmospheric CO2 by photosynthesis and mediated by the allocation ofrecalcitrant and simple organic compounds into the soil (Fig 3) When plant debris andsimple organic compounds are decomposed and used by microorganisms to build theirbiomass some C is returned to the atmosphere via respiration Because root exudatescan readily be assimilated by soil microorganisms decomposition of the dead plantbiomass has been highlighted as the key process regulating C flow in soil systems thatinfluences the ratio between C mineralization and immobilization (156)

Recent studies indicated that bacteria play a more important role in the transfor-mation of the dead plant biomass than was previously assumed and significantlycontribute to decomposition processes in litter and soil (31ndash33) The plant biomass iscomposed largely of lignocellulose a highly organized and interlinked mix of differentpolymers that contains various amounts of cellulose hemicelluloses and lignin (157)

Because of the presence of hemicelluloses in a recalcitrant complex with lignincellulose represents the most accessible biopolymer and its degradation is thus akey step in the C cycle The most important enzymes involved in this process areendocellulases exocellulases and -glucosidases Together with these enzymes adiverse set of hemicellulases such as endoxylanases xylosidases xyloglucanasesendomannanases mannosidases fucosidases arabinosidases pectinases and ligni-nolytic enzymes are necessary for the hydrolysis of other polymers that are present inthe plant biomass (158) The genes encoding cellulases are present in 24 of allsequenced bacterial genomes (159) and glycosyl hydrolases that degrade other plantstructural biopolymers are also common (30) Recently Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar et al (33)isolated cellulolytic bacteria belonging to a variety of phyla from a deciduous foresttopsoil and they demonstrated for the first time the presence of cellulolytic membersamong some abundant soil genera eg Mucilaginibacter Luteibacter and PedobacterOther studies highlight the important ecological role of strains of the phyla Acidobac-teria and Actinobacteria as degraders of plant biomass polysaccharides in the acidicsoils of temperate forests (31 104 160)

Genomes of several forest soil bacteria encode proteins involved in decompositionof dead plant biomass (33 161ndash163) In addition to promotion by hydrolytic enzymesefficient hydrolysis is often promoted by the presence of carbohydrate-binding mod-ules (CBM) that are part of either the enzymes or bacterial cell surfaces (157) Genescoding for proteins that are involved in signal transduction nutrient binding andtransport are often found in the same operons as hydrolase genes Some of theseproteins such as the TonB-dependent receptors have been established as plantcarbohydrate scavengers (164) Other auxiliary proteins such as the substrate-bindingproteins (SBPs) from ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters have been shown to becapable of binding a variety of plant cell wall soluble and insoluble saccharidesincluding microcrystalline or amorphous cellulose xyloglucan xylan and mannan(165) The rich suite of these auxiliary proteins expressed by a Paenibacillus sp strainfrom a temperate forest soil suggests their important involvement in polysaccharide

decomposition (162) A suite of carbohydrate-binding proteins such as type IV pili andan atypical oxidative cellulase in a cellulolytic Luteibacter species from temperate forestsoil demonstrates the variability among the cellulolytic systems of bacteria whichremain far from being completely described (33 166 167) Since plant biomassrepresents a renewable and abundant resource for the production of environmentallyfriendly chemicals and biofuels (168) forest topsoils represent a rich potential source ofbacterial strains with biotechnological relevance (169 170)

Soil bacteria are also able to contribute to the breakdown of phenolic compoundsincluding lignin although their efficiency is typically much lower than that of fungi (34160) Ligninolytic bacteria can be found among the Proteobacteria (genera such asSphingomonas Burkholderia Enterobacter Ochrobacterium and Pseudomonas amongothers) Firmicutes (Bacillus and Paenibacillus) and Actinobacteria (Rhodococcus Myco-bacterium Microbacterium and Streptomyces) (35 171) and there is evidence thatpotentially ligninolytic taxa are common in soils For example abundant bacteriallaccase genes have been found in temperate hardwood forests (172) and bacterial taxapossessing laccases such as Burkholderia Bradyrhizobium and Azospirillum are highlyactive in forest soils (173) However even if the enzymology of bacterial lignin degra-dation is poorly understood compared to that for fungi bacteria may use ligninolyticperoxidases and laccases to reduce the toxicity of phenolic compounds rather than todegrade lignin

In addition to plant biomass fungal mycelia represent an important pool of organicmatter in forest litter and soil (174) Forest ecosystems are dominated by ectomycor-rhizal fungi (ECM) with a biomass of up to 600 kg ha1 (147 151) and the annualproduction of fungal mycelia in a spruce forest ranges from 100 to 300 kg ha1 (77)Fungal mycelia represent a large C and N pool that typically contains chitin and otherpolysaccharides such as glucans and glucomannans as well as phenolics such asmelanin (75 175) Fungal biomass represents a more readily decomposable substratethan lignocellulose and bacteria have been reported to be more important contribu-tors than fungi to its decomposition (75 176) The bacteria associated with fungalbiomass decomposition represent a specific subset of the litter and soil communitiesdominated by Pseudomonas Ewingella Pedobacter Variovorax Stenotrophomonas andChitinophaga genera that are known to produce chitinolytic enzymes (75) Chitinolyticenzymes which are represented by chitinases and N-acetylglucosaminidases appear tobe widespread in bacterial genomes especially Actinobacteria (30 177) The membersof this phylum often contain several chitinase genes as well as a diverse array ofcorresponding CBMs and they often also possess -13-glucanases thus encompassinga complex set of enzymes that potentially target fungal cell walls (178) Chitinaseproduction by soil bacteria is a complex adaptation that combines a nutritional strategywith potential involvement in the antagonistic interactions with fungi (178 179)Although the bacterial biomass in forest soils has a size similar to that of fungi (55) theprocess of bacterial cell wall polymer decomposition is far less understood Theinvolvement of Planctomycetes Verrucomicrobia Armatinomonadetes or candidate di-vision OD1 in the degradation of bacterial exopolysaccharides produced in soil wasrecently demonstrated (180)

Finally a large fraction of C in forest ecosystems is allocated belowground duringthe vegetation period via tree roots in the form of root exudates (181 182) Up to 40of newly photosynthesized C can be allocated to the soil via roots where it is rapidlyrespired or incorporated into the microbial biomass (183 184) The rhizosphereincluding the root-associated mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi is thus probably the mostimportant C allocation hot spot in forest soils and is strongly influenced by plant activity(185) Because ECM fungi cover most of the fine roots and root tips the largest fractionof this C is allocated to them (186) The fraction of assimilates that is exuded directlyfrom roots into the rhizosphere is estimated to range from 1 to 5 and is composedmainly of carbohydrates amino acids and organic acids (120 187) The rhizodepositionof C by plants exhibits severalfold seasonal differences that correspond to the intensityof photosynthesis throughout the year (182) While direct evidence of a net C flux from

plants to rhizosphere microbiota has been shown for many crops little is known aboutthe structure and function of bacterial and fungal communities that are activelyinvolved in the assimilation of root exudates in forest ecosystems (188) Althoughdecomposer fungi can find suitable conditions in the nonmycorrhizal rhizospheres oftrees this niche has traditionally been considered bacterium dominated because theirrapid growth favors their utilization of root exudates (185) Recent studies indicatedthat soil bacteria indeed use root exudates in forest soils (189) and the seasonalproduction of root exudates leads to an increase in bacterial biomass as well as in theshare of the rhizosphere- and mycorrhizosphere-specific bacteria in mineral soil insummer (56 70) In the same way as that of tree roots hyphae of ectomycorrhizal fungiexude low-molecular-weight organic compounds that support diverse bacterial com-munities (78 190) The rhizosphere of roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi is specificin that a portion of the plant-derived C is released into the soil through the ECMmycelium (155) As a consequence ECM fungi constitute a nutrient hot spot for othermicroorganisms because the fungal symbionts have a very large surface area andreceive a direct supply of photosynthetic C (149) Soil bacteria have been found to growabundantly and rapidly at the expense of the exudates from P sylvestris roots colonizedby Piloderma supporting a role for the bacteria in the metabolism of the organic acidsand other compounds produced by the fungus (152) The observation that thesebacteria are able to utilize fungal sugars more readily than plant sugars supports theexistence of a bacterial guild that is specialized for hyphal exudates (191)

Methane represents a gaseous form of organic C that can be oxidized by certainforest soil bacteria under aerobic conditions (192) These methanotrophic bacteria arethe main consumers of atmospheric methane as well as methane generated bymethanogenic archaea in waterlogged anaerobic horizons of certain soils (193ndash196)Due to the presence of methanotrophic bacteria forest soils (especially those of theboreal forests) may represent a sink of atmospheric methane Although methanotrophsare phylogenetically located in two bacterial phyla most of the characterized isolatesbelong to the Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria (197) The discovery ofnew acidophilic methanotrophs related to Verrucomicrobia recently revealed a higherlevel of diversity of methanotrophic bacteria in as yet unexplored acidic environments(198) In addition to using organic C sources certain soil bacteria are able to fix CO2These autotrophic taxa were described for the genus Bradyrhizobium (Betaproteobac-teria) whose members are abundant inhabitants of forest soils (199 200) and a recenttranscriptomic study confirmed the expression of the components of a photosyntheticapparatus in the Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria The input of C into forest soilsthrough fixation is however apparently minimal (55)

Role of Bacteria in Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycles

Nitrogen is the most common limiting nutrient in soils entering the ecosystemlargely through fixation (Fig 3) This process is dominated by bacteria that are esti-mated to be responsible for more than 95 of the N input in unmanaged environments(36 201) The presence of the nifH gene of the Alphaproteobacteria (BradyrhizobiumAzospirillum Hyphomicrobium and Gluconacetobacter) and Deltaproteobacteria (Geo-bacter spp) was observed in different temperate forest soils demonstrating the ubiq-uity of some N-fixing bacteria not only as symbiotic but also as free-living taxa (200)The observed diversity of N-fixing bacteria may rapidly change if there is an exogenousinput of N (36) Particularly in temperate forest soils that are strongly affected byanthropogenic N deposition N input is a good predictor of N fixation activity (202)

Nitrification and denitrification lead to the loss of N from soils through NO N2O andN2 gas emissions as well as through the leaching of NO3 if its concentration exceeds theecosystem retention capacity (203 204) Among these nitrous oxide is a particularlypowerful greenhouse gas with a potentially warming effect that is almost 300 timeslarger than that of CO2 (205) Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia tonitrate via a multienzymatic process The amoA gene encoding ammonia oxidasewhich performs the first step of nitrification is present in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria

(AOB) as well as ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) but AOB rather than AOA seem todominate in soils (206 207) The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is often limiting intemperate and boreal forest soils (208) All known AOB belong to the Betaproteobac-teria and Gammaproteobacteria and they are mostly represented by the genera Nitro-somonas Nitrosococcus and Nitrosospira Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira are furthersubdivided into clusters with different responses to environmental drivers such asacidity pH and ammonia availability and due to that changes in soil N availability canresult in dramatic shifts in the composition of the AOB community (206 208 209)Nitrosospira seems to be the most abundant AOB in acidic forest soils with low NH4

contents (206 210 211) The amoA gene content however appears to vary acrossforest soils (212) Nitrification rates seem to be correlated with the AOB abundance insoil (209 213) AOB are also involved in N losses from soil by producing N2O duringdenitrification (214) Denitrification is essential for the global N cycle maintaining thereduction of nitrate or nitrite to gaseous nitrogen compounds such as N2 and nitrousoxide The denitrification pathway is known as dissimilatory nitrate reduction becausenitrate or nitrogen oxides are the final electron acceptors allowing bacteria to produceenergy at the expense of reduced electron donors in the absence of oxygen Denitri-fying bacteria are not always able to perform all the steps of the dissimilatory pathwayand incomplete denitrification is the major source of N2O emissions from soils (215)Denitrification can be addressed by studying marker genes involved in the individualenzymatic steps such as the reduction of nitrate (narG) nitrite (nirKnirS) nitric oxide(norB) and nitrous oxide (nosZ) (205) Denitrifying bacteria are abundant and wide-spread in forest soils and denitrification genes have been found in bacterial strainsbelonging to the Acidobacteria Proteobacteria and Firmicutes as well as in otherbacterial phyla (216ndash218) A significant correlation was described among gene abun-dances denitrification rates and NO and N2O fluxes confirming the importance of theircarriers for the environmental processes that occur in forest soils (69 203 219) Inaddition to mineral N forms bacteria may obtain N from a range of organic compoundspresent in forest soils namely the chitin present in the polysaccharides of fungalmycelia and the amino acids and proteins in dead organic matter The utilization ofthese compounds is expected to be subject to intensive competition among ectomy-corrhizal fungi saprotrophic fungi and bacteria (146)

While the potential source of Nmdashthe atmospheremdashis theoretically unlimited this isnot the case for phosphorus (P) which is supplied mostly by weathering of minerals Pthus represents the limiting nutrient in many soils (Fig 3) Bacteria are importantmediators of the P cycle because some are able to solubilize mineral P while others mayimmobilize it in their biomass Unfortunately the involvement of bacteria in the P cyclehas received far less attention than that in the N and C cycles The main mechanismresponsible for P uptake by bacteria is through the solubilization and uptake ofinorganic P its most abundant source The ability to solubilize inorganic P has beendescribed for different bacteria and ectomycorrhizal fungi present in the rhizosphereand soil This ability is related to the release of organic anions such as citrategluconate oxalate and succinate into the soil (220) Phosphatase enzymes releasephosphate from organic phosphate esters during organic matter decay (221) In arecent metagenomic analysis of temperate forest soils it was highlighted that membersof the Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria dom-inated the processes related to P turnover (222 223) While genes related to Psolubilization are more abundant in P-rich soil those that play a role in P uptakesystems are more abundant in P-limited soil (222)

mount importance for prediction of the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatechange (224) Future climatic conditions are predicted to produce tree species migra-tion (225 226) an increase in extreme events such as droughts and wildfires and anincrease in vegetation productivity due to longer growth seasons (13 227 228) Theseeffects in combination with other phenomena such as increased N deposition maycause dramatic shifts in global C fluxes in particular affecting the boreal and temperateforests of the northern continental regions (229ndash231) The high diversity of C com-pounds released into the soils and the complex structures of bacterial and fungalcommunities with their overlapping functions create a very complex system that isdifficult to incorporate into predictive models (16) The complex nonlinear interactionsbetween forest and atmosphere have the capacity to constrain or amplify climatechange-associated processes depending on the activity of soil bacteria and fungi(232ndash234) Recent studies investigating the effects of global change on ecosystemproperties offer the first clues to the prediction of future developments (Table 1)

Carbon Dioxide

Increasing CO2 concentrations are predicted to boost NPP in boreal and temperateforests (235) however their capacity to maintain such high levels of NPP will stronglydepend on their ability to overcome nutrient limitations (236) Unfortunately thedegree to which forests will persist as C sinks remains uncertain (237) in particular therhizosphere priming effect may be reduced and the increased NPP may increase soil Cstorage (238 239) It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset byC sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of bothtrees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions

Thus how do CO2 levels affect bacterial populations in forest topsoils And is itpossible to generalize the observations obtained across ecosystems for different soilswith various vegetations The effects of elevated CO2 levels do not directly affect soilbacterial populations CO2 concentrations in soil pores are normally higher than thosein the atmosphere and the response of bacteria to small CO2 changes is thus negligible(240) As a result the observed effects are mostly indirectly driven by altered plantproduction and root exudation which are both tree species specific In additionchanges in organic acid exudation by mycorrhizal fungi as a result of the presence ofCO2 will affect the bacterial community composition (152) and this process alsodepends on the vegetation properties It is difficult to determine whether the functionalresponses of bacterial communities to CO2 will be similar across forests or will dependon soil and vegetation characteristics The expected increase in root exudation shouldgenerally favor the development of soil copiotrophic bacteria over specialized olig-otrophs A good example of this response is the decrease in abundance of oligotrophicAcidobacteria in various soils following an increase in CO2 (144 152 238 240) Such ageneral response is rather exceptional considering that different members of the samephylum often respond differently to the same disturbance (241) The increased abun-dance of certain bacterial taxa will have functional consequences only if their functionaltraits do not change in response to the treatment which may explain the sometimescontroversial results obtained for responses to CO2 in different forest soils despite thefairly consistent response of bacterial abundance after an increase in CO2 (238 240242) For example while some studies have indicated that an elevated CO2 level doesnot affect the AOB abundance or nitrifying activity (207) others have described anincrease in nitrification or nitrifying taxa (240 243) even in an unaltered bacterialcommunity Thus it is unclear whether the effects of increased CO2 levels on bacterialbiomass richness community composition and functionality will be consistent acrossdifferent forest ecosystems

The rise in temperature is intimately linked to the increased CO2 concentration inthe atmosphere because the latter largely causes the former Although both processesappear globally the extent of the rise in temperature is predicted to be pronounced in

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Page 10: Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem ...and boreal forests. Although most studies have focused on fungi, forest soil bac-teria also play important roles in this

Because of the presence of hemicelluloses in a recalcitrant complex with lignincellulose represents the most accessible biopolymer and its degradation is thus akey step in the C cycle The most important enzymes involved in this process areendocellulases exocellulases and -glucosidases Together with these enzymes adiverse set of hemicellulases such as endoxylanases xylosidases xyloglucanasesendomannanases mannosidases fucosidases arabinosidases pectinases and ligni-nolytic enzymes are necessary for the hydrolysis of other polymers that are present inthe plant biomass (158) The genes encoding cellulases are present in 24 of allsequenced bacterial genomes (159) and glycosyl hydrolases that degrade other plantstructural biopolymers are also common (30) Recently Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar et al (33)isolated cellulolytic bacteria belonging to a variety of phyla from a deciduous foresttopsoil and they demonstrated for the first time the presence of cellulolytic membersamong some abundant soil genera eg Mucilaginibacter Luteibacter and PedobacterOther studies highlight the important ecological role of strains of the phyla Acidobac-teria and Actinobacteria as degraders of plant biomass polysaccharides in the acidicsoils of temperate forests (31 104 160)

Genomes of several forest soil bacteria encode proteins involved in decompositionof dead plant biomass (33 161ndash163) In addition to promotion by hydrolytic enzymesefficient hydrolysis is often promoted by the presence of carbohydrate-binding mod-ules (CBM) that are part of either the enzymes or bacterial cell surfaces (157) Genescoding for proteins that are involved in signal transduction nutrient binding andtransport are often found in the same operons as hydrolase genes Some of theseproteins such as the TonB-dependent receptors have been established as plantcarbohydrate scavengers (164) Other auxiliary proteins such as the substrate-bindingproteins (SBPs) from ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters have been shown to becapable of binding a variety of plant cell wall soluble and insoluble saccharidesincluding microcrystalline or amorphous cellulose xyloglucan xylan and mannan(165) The rich suite of these auxiliary proteins expressed by a Paenibacillus sp strainfrom a temperate forest soil suggests their important involvement in polysaccharide

decomposition (162) A suite of carbohydrate-binding proteins such as type IV pili andan atypical oxidative cellulase in a cellulolytic Luteibacter species from temperate forestsoil demonstrates the variability among the cellulolytic systems of bacteria whichremain far from being completely described (33 166 167) Since plant biomassrepresents a renewable and abundant resource for the production of environmentallyfriendly chemicals and biofuels (168) forest topsoils represent a rich potential source ofbacterial strains with biotechnological relevance (169 170)

Soil bacteria are also able to contribute to the breakdown of phenolic compoundsincluding lignin although their efficiency is typically much lower than that of fungi (34160) Ligninolytic bacteria can be found among the Proteobacteria (genera such asSphingomonas Burkholderia Enterobacter Ochrobacterium and Pseudomonas amongothers) Firmicutes (Bacillus and Paenibacillus) and Actinobacteria (Rhodococcus Myco-bacterium Microbacterium and Streptomyces) (35 171) and there is evidence thatpotentially ligninolytic taxa are common in soils For example abundant bacteriallaccase genes have been found in temperate hardwood forests (172) and bacterial taxapossessing laccases such as Burkholderia Bradyrhizobium and Azospirillum are highlyactive in forest soils (173) However even if the enzymology of bacterial lignin degra-dation is poorly understood compared to that for fungi bacteria may use ligninolyticperoxidases and laccases to reduce the toxicity of phenolic compounds rather than todegrade lignin

In addition to plant biomass fungal mycelia represent an important pool of organicmatter in forest litter and soil (174) Forest ecosystems are dominated by ectomycor-rhizal fungi (ECM) with a biomass of up to 600 kg ha1 (147 151) and the annualproduction of fungal mycelia in a spruce forest ranges from 100 to 300 kg ha1 (77)Fungal mycelia represent a large C and N pool that typically contains chitin and otherpolysaccharides such as glucans and glucomannans as well as phenolics such asmelanin (75 175) Fungal biomass represents a more readily decomposable substratethan lignocellulose and bacteria have been reported to be more important contribu-tors than fungi to its decomposition (75 176) The bacteria associated with fungalbiomass decomposition represent a specific subset of the litter and soil communitiesdominated by Pseudomonas Ewingella Pedobacter Variovorax Stenotrophomonas andChitinophaga genera that are known to produce chitinolytic enzymes (75) Chitinolyticenzymes which are represented by chitinases and N-acetylglucosaminidases appear tobe widespread in bacterial genomes especially Actinobacteria (30 177) The membersof this phylum often contain several chitinase genes as well as a diverse array ofcorresponding CBMs and they often also possess -13-glucanases thus encompassinga complex set of enzymes that potentially target fungal cell walls (178) Chitinaseproduction by soil bacteria is a complex adaptation that combines a nutritional strategywith potential involvement in the antagonistic interactions with fungi (178 179)Although the bacterial biomass in forest soils has a size similar to that of fungi (55) theprocess of bacterial cell wall polymer decomposition is far less understood Theinvolvement of Planctomycetes Verrucomicrobia Armatinomonadetes or candidate di-vision OD1 in the degradation of bacterial exopolysaccharides produced in soil wasrecently demonstrated (180)

Finally a large fraction of C in forest ecosystems is allocated belowground duringthe vegetation period via tree roots in the form of root exudates (181 182) Up to 40of newly photosynthesized C can be allocated to the soil via roots where it is rapidlyrespired or incorporated into the microbial biomass (183 184) The rhizosphereincluding the root-associated mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi is thus probably the mostimportant C allocation hot spot in forest soils and is strongly influenced by plant activity(185) Because ECM fungi cover most of the fine roots and root tips the largest fractionof this C is allocated to them (186) The fraction of assimilates that is exuded directlyfrom roots into the rhizosphere is estimated to range from 1 to 5 and is composedmainly of carbohydrates amino acids and organic acids (120 187) The rhizodepositionof C by plants exhibits severalfold seasonal differences that correspond to the intensityof photosynthesis throughout the year (182) While direct evidence of a net C flux from

plants to rhizosphere microbiota has been shown for many crops little is known aboutthe structure and function of bacterial and fungal communities that are activelyinvolved in the assimilation of root exudates in forest ecosystems (188) Althoughdecomposer fungi can find suitable conditions in the nonmycorrhizal rhizospheres oftrees this niche has traditionally been considered bacterium dominated because theirrapid growth favors their utilization of root exudates (185) Recent studies indicatedthat soil bacteria indeed use root exudates in forest soils (189) and the seasonalproduction of root exudates leads to an increase in bacterial biomass as well as in theshare of the rhizosphere- and mycorrhizosphere-specific bacteria in mineral soil insummer (56 70) In the same way as that of tree roots hyphae of ectomycorrhizal fungiexude low-molecular-weight organic compounds that support diverse bacterial com-munities (78 190) The rhizosphere of roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi is specificin that a portion of the plant-derived C is released into the soil through the ECMmycelium (155) As a consequence ECM fungi constitute a nutrient hot spot for othermicroorganisms because the fungal symbionts have a very large surface area andreceive a direct supply of photosynthetic C (149) Soil bacteria have been found to growabundantly and rapidly at the expense of the exudates from P sylvestris roots colonizedby Piloderma supporting a role for the bacteria in the metabolism of the organic acidsand other compounds produced by the fungus (152) The observation that thesebacteria are able to utilize fungal sugars more readily than plant sugars supports theexistence of a bacterial guild that is specialized for hyphal exudates (191)

Methane represents a gaseous form of organic C that can be oxidized by certainforest soil bacteria under aerobic conditions (192) These methanotrophic bacteria arethe main consumers of atmospheric methane as well as methane generated bymethanogenic archaea in waterlogged anaerobic horizons of certain soils (193ndash196)Due to the presence of methanotrophic bacteria forest soils (especially those of theboreal forests) may represent a sink of atmospheric methane Although methanotrophsare phylogenetically located in two bacterial phyla most of the characterized isolatesbelong to the Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria (197) The discovery ofnew acidophilic methanotrophs related to Verrucomicrobia recently revealed a higherlevel of diversity of methanotrophic bacteria in as yet unexplored acidic environments(198) In addition to using organic C sources certain soil bacteria are able to fix CO2These autotrophic taxa were described for the genus Bradyrhizobium (Betaproteobac-teria) whose members are abundant inhabitants of forest soils (199 200) and a recenttranscriptomic study confirmed the expression of the components of a photosyntheticapparatus in the Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria The input of C into forest soilsthrough fixation is however apparently minimal (55)

Role of Bacteria in Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycles

Nitrogen is the most common limiting nutrient in soils entering the ecosystemlargely through fixation (Fig 3) This process is dominated by bacteria that are esti-mated to be responsible for more than 95 of the N input in unmanaged environments(36 201) The presence of the nifH gene of the Alphaproteobacteria (BradyrhizobiumAzospirillum Hyphomicrobium and Gluconacetobacter) and Deltaproteobacteria (Geo-bacter spp) was observed in different temperate forest soils demonstrating the ubiq-uity of some N-fixing bacteria not only as symbiotic but also as free-living taxa (200)The observed diversity of N-fixing bacteria may rapidly change if there is an exogenousinput of N (36) Particularly in temperate forest soils that are strongly affected byanthropogenic N deposition N input is a good predictor of N fixation activity (202)

Nitrification and denitrification lead to the loss of N from soils through NO N2O andN2 gas emissions as well as through the leaching of NO3 if its concentration exceeds theecosystem retention capacity (203 204) Among these nitrous oxide is a particularlypowerful greenhouse gas with a potentially warming effect that is almost 300 timeslarger than that of CO2 (205) Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia tonitrate via a multienzymatic process The amoA gene encoding ammonia oxidasewhich performs the first step of nitrification is present in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria

(AOB) as well as ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) but AOB rather than AOA seem todominate in soils (206 207) The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is often limiting intemperate and boreal forest soils (208) All known AOB belong to the Betaproteobac-teria and Gammaproteobacteria and they are mostly represented by the genera Nitro-somonas Nitrosococcus and Nitrosospira Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira are furthersubdivided into clusters with different responses to environmental drivers such asacidity pH and ammonia availability and due to that changes in soil N availability canresult in dramatic shifts in the composition of the AOB community (206 208 209)Nitrosospira seems to be the most abundant AOB in acidic forest soils with low NH4

contents (206 210 211) The amoA gene content however appears to vary acrossforest soils (212) Nitrification rates seem to be correlated with the AOB abundance insoil (209 213) AOB are also involved in N losses from soil by producing N2O duringdenitrification (214) Denitrification is essential for the global N cycle maintaining thereduction of nitrate or nitrite to gaseous nitrogen compounds such as N2 and nitrousoxide The denitrification pathway is known as dissimilatory nitrate reduction becausenitrate or nitrogen oxides are the final electron acceptors allowing bacteria to produceenergy at the expense of reduced electron donors in the absence of oxygen Denitri-fying bacteria are not always able to perform all the steps of the dissimilatory pathwayand incomplete denitrification is the major source of N2O emissions from soils (215)Denitrification can be addressed by studying marker genes involved in the individualenzymatic steps such as the reduction of nitrate (narG) nitrite (nirKnirS) nitric oxide(norB) and nitrous oxide (nosZ) (205) Denitrifying bacteria are abundant and wide-spread in forest soils and denitrification genes have been found in bacterial strainsbelonging to the Acidobacteria Proteobacteria and Firmicutes as well as in otherbacterial phyla (216ndash218) A significant correlation was described among gene abun-dances denitrification rates and NO and N2O fluxes confirming the importance of theircarriers for the environmental processes that occur in forest soils (69 203 219) Inaddition to mineral N forms bacteria may obtain N from a range of organic compoundspresent in forest soils namely the chitin present in the polysaccharides of fungalmycelia and the amino acids and proteins in dead organic matter The utilization ofthese compounds is expected to be subject to intensive competition among ectomy-corrhizal fungi saprotrophic fungi and bacteria (146)

While the potential source of Nmdashthe atmospheremdashis theoretically unlimited this isnot the case for phosphorus (P) which is supplied mostly by weathering of minerals Pthus represents the limiting nutrient in many soils (Fig 3) Bacteria are importantmediators of the P cycle because some are able to solubilize mineral P while others mayimmobilize it in their biomass Unfortunately the involvement of bacteria in the P cyclehas received far less attention than that in the N and C cycles The main mechanismresponsible for P uptake by bacteria is through the solubilization and uptake ofinorganic P its most abundant source The ability to solubilize inorganic P has beendescribed for different bacteria and ectomycorrhizal fungi present in the rhizosphereand soil This ability is related to the release of organic anions such as citrategluconate oxalate and succinate into the soil (220) Phosphatase enzymes releasephosphate from organic phosphate esters during organic matter decay (221) In arecent metagenomic analysis of temperate forest soils it was highlighted that membersof the Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria dom-inated the processes related to P turnover (222 223) While genes related to Psolubilization are more abundant in P-rich soil those that play a role in P uptakesystems are more abundant in P-limited soil (222)

EFFECTS OF GLOBAL CHANGE ON BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES IN FORESTECOSYSTEMS

Bacteria strongly contribute to key ecological processes that are important forsociety in light of the ongoing global change (114) The determination of how rela-tionships between site factors and bacterial communities affect the equilibrium be-tween soil organic matter decomposition and C sequestration in forests is of para-

mount importance for prediction of the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatechange (224) Future climatic conditions are predicted to produce tree species migra-tion (225 226) an increase in extreme events such as droughts and wildfires and anincrease in vegetation productivity due to longer growth seasons (13 227 228) Theseeffects in combination with other phenomena such as increased N deposition maycause dramatic shifts in global C fluxes in particular affecting the boreal and temperateforests of the northern continental regions (229ndash231) The high diversity of C com-pounds released into the soils and the complex structures of bacterial and fungalcommunities with their overlapping functions create a very complex system that isdifficult to incorporate into predictive models (16) The complex nonlinear interactionsbetween forest and atmosphere have the capacity to constrain or amplify climatechange-associated processes depending on the activity of soil bacteria and fungi(232ndash234) Recent studies investigating the effects of global change on ecosystemproperties offer the first clues to the prediction of future developments (Table 1)

Carbon Dioxide

Increasing CO2 concentrations are predicted to boost NPP in boreal and temperateforests (235) however their capacity to maintain such high levels of NPP will stronglydepend on their ability to overcome nutrient limitations (236) Unfortunately thedegree to which forests will persist as C sinks remains uncertain (237) in particular therhizosphere priming effect may be reduced and the increased NPP may increase soil Cstorage (238 239) It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset byC sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of bothtrees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions

Thus how do CO2 levels affect bacterial populations in forest topsoils And is itpossible to generalize the observations obtained across ecosystems for different soilswith various vegetations The effects of elevated CO2 levels do not directly affect soilbacterial populations CO2 concentrations in soil pores are normally higher than thosein the atmosphere and the response of bacteria to small CO2 changes is thus negligible(240) As a result the observed effects are mostly indirectly driven by altered plantproduction and root exudation which are both tree species specific In additionchanges in organic acid exudation by mycorrhizal fungi as a result of the presence ofCO2 will affect the bacterial community composition (152) and this process alsodepends on the vegetation properties It is difficult to determine whether the functionalresponses of bacterial communities to CO2 will be similar across forests or will dependon soil and vegetation characteristics The expected increase in root exudation shouldgenerally favor the development of soil copiotrophic bacteria over specialized olig-otrophs A good example of this response is the decrease in abundance of oligotrophicAcidobacteria in various soils following an increase in CO2 (144 152 238 240) Such ageneral response is rather exceptional considering that different members of the samephylum often respond differently to the same disturbance (241) The increased abun-dance of certain bacterial taxa will have functional consequences only if their functionaltraits do not change in response to the treatment which may explain the sometimescontroversial results obtained for responses to CO2 in different forest soils despite thefairly consistent response of bacterial abundance after an increase in CO2 (238 240242) For example while some studies have indicated that an elevated CO2 level doesnot affect the AOB abundance or nitrifying activity (207) others have described anincrease in nitrification or nitrifying taxa (240 243) even in an unaltered bacterialcommunity Thus it is unclear whether the effects of increased CO2 levels on bacterialbiomass richness community composition and functionality will be consistent acrossdifferent forest ecosystems

Global Warming

The rise in temperature is intimately linked to the increased CO2 concentration inthe atmosphere because the latter largely causes the former Although both processesappear globally the extent of the rise in temperature is predicted to be pronounced in

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Page 11: Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem ...and boreal forests. Although most studies have focused on fungi, forest soil bac-teria also play important roles in this

decomposition (162) A suite of carbohydrate-binding proteins such as type IV pili andan atypical oxidative cellulase in a cellulolytic Luteibacter species from temperate forestsoil demonstrates the variability among the cellulolytic systems of bacteria whichremain far from being completely described (33 166 167) Since plant biomassrepresents a renewable and abundant resource for the production of environmentallyfriendly chemicals and biofuels (168) forest topsoils represent a rich potential source ofbacterial strains with biotechnological relevance (169 170)

Soil bacteria are also able to contribute to the breakdown of phenolic compoundsincluding lignin although their efficiency is typically much lower than that of fungi (34160) Ligninolytic bacteria can be found among the Proteobacteria (genera such asSphingomonas Burkholderia Enterobacter Ochrobacterium and Pseudomonas amongothers) Firmicutes (Bacillus and Paenibacillus) and Actinobacteria (Rhodococcus Myco-bacterium Microbacterium and Streptomyces) (35 171) and there is evidence thatpotentially ligninolytic taxa are common in soils For example abundant bacteriallaccase genes have been found in temperate hardwood forests (172) and bacterial taxapossessing laccases such as Burkholderia Bradyrhizobium and Azospirillum are highlyactive in forest soils (173) However even if the enzymology of bacterial lignin degra-dation is poorly understood compared to that for fungi bacteria may use ligninolyticperoxidases and laccases to reduce the toxicity of phenolic compounds rather than todegrade lignin

In addition to plant biomass fungal mycelia represent an important pool of organicmatter in forest litter and soil (174) Forest ecosystems are dominated by ectomycor-rhizal fungi (ECM) with a biomass of up to 600 kg ha1 (147 151) and the annualproduction of fungal mycelia in a spruce forest ranges from 100 to 300 kg ha1 (77)Fungal mycelia represent a large C and N pool that typically contains chitin and otherpolysaccharides such as glucans and glucomannans as well as phenolics such asmelanin (75 175) Fungal biomass represents a more readily decomposable substratethan lignocellulose and bacteria have been reported to be more important contribu-tors than fungi to its decomposition (75 176) The bacteria associated with fungalbiomass decomposition represent a specific subset of the litter and soil communitiesdominated by Pseudomonas Ewingella Pedobacter Variovorax Stenotrophomonas andChitinophaga genera that are known to produce chitinolytic enzymes (75) Chitinolyticenzymes which are represented by chitinases and N-acetylglucosaminidases appear tobe widespread in bacterial genomes especially Actinobacteria (30 177) The membersof this phylum often contain several chitinase genes as well as a diverse array ofcorresponding CBMs and they often also possess -13-glucanases thus encompassinga complex set of enzymes that potentially target fungal cell walls (178) Chitinaseproduction by soil bacteria is a complex adaptation that combines a nutritional strategywith potential involvement in the antagonistic interactions with fungi (178 179)Although the bacterial biomass in forest soils has a size similar to that of fungi (55) theprocess of bacterial cell wall polymer decomposition is far less understood Theinvolvement of Planctomycetes Verrucomicrobia Armatinomonadetes or candidate di-vision OD1 in the degradation of bacterial exopolysaccharides produced in soil wasrecently demonstrated (180)

Finally a large fraction of C in forest ecosystems is allocated belowground duringthe vegetation period via tree roots in the form of root exudates (181 182) Up to 40of newly photosynthesized C can be allocated to the soil via roots where it is rapidlyrespired or incorporated into the microbial biomass (183 184) The rhizosphereincluding the root-associated mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi is thus probably the mostimportant C allocation hot spot in forest soils and is strongly influenced by plant activity(185) Because ECM fungi cover most of the fine roots and root tips the largest fractionof this C is allocated to them (186) The fraction of assimilates that is exuded directlyfrom roots into the rhizosphere is estimated to range from 1 to 5 and is composedmainly of carbohydrates amino acids and organic acids (120 187) The rhizodepositionof C by plants exhibits severalfold seasonal differences that correspond to the intensityof photosynthesis throughout the year (182) While direct evidence of a net C flux from

plants to rhizosphere microbiota has been shown for many crops little is known aboutthe structure and function of bacterial and fungal communities that are activelyinvolved in the assimilation of root exudates in forest ecosystems (188) Althoughdecomposer fungi can find suitable conditions in the nonmycorrhizal rhizospheres oftrees this niche has traditionally been considered bacterium dominated because theirrapid growth favors their utilization of root exudates (185) Recent studies indicatedthat soil bacteria indeed use root exudates in forest soils (189) and the seasonalproduction of root exudates leads to an increase in bacterial biomass as well as in theshare of the rhizosphere- and mycorrhizosphere-specific bacteria in mineral soil insummer (56 70) In the same way as that of tree roots hyphae of ectomycorrhizal fungiexude low-molecular-weight organic compounds that support diverse bacterial com-munities (78 190) The rhizosphere of roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi is specificin that a portion of the plant-derived C is released into the soil through the ECMmycelium (155) As a consequence ECM fungi constitute a nutrient hot spot for othermicroorganisms because the fungal symbionts have a very large surface area andreceive a direct supply of photosynthetic C (149) Soil bacteria have been found to growabundantly and rapidly at the expense of the exudates from P sylvestris roots colonizedby Piloderma supporting a role for the bacteria in the metabolism of the organic acidsand other compounds produced by the fungus (152) The observation that thesebacteria are able to utilize fungal sugars more readily than plant sugars supports theexistence of a bacterial guild that is specialized for hyphal exudates (191)

Methane represents a gaseous form of organic C that can be oxidized by certainforest soil bacteria under aerobic conditions (192) These methanotrophic bacteria arethe main consumers of atmospheric methane as well as methane generated bymethanogenic archaea in waterlogged anaerobic horizons of certain soils (193ndash196)Due to the presence of methanotrophic bacteria forest soils (especially those of theboreal forests) may represent a sink of atmospheric methane Although methanotrophsare phylogenetically located in two bacterial phyla most of the characterized isolatesbelong to the Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria (197) The discovery ofnew acidophilic methanotrophs related to Verrucomicrobia recently revealed a higherlevel of diversity of methanotrophic bacteria in as yet unexplored acidic environments(198) In addition to using organic C sources certain soil bacteria are able to fix CO2These autotrophic taxa were described for the genus Bradyrhizobium (Betaproteobac-teria) whose members are abundant inhabitants of forest soils (199 200) and a recenttranscriptomic study confirmed the expression of the components of a photosyntheticapparatus in the Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria The input of C into forest soilsthrough fixation is however apparently minimal (55)

Role of Bacteria in Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycles

Nitrogen is the most common limiting nutrient in soils entering the ecosystemlargely through fixation (Fig 3) This process is dominated by bacteria that are esti-mated to be responsible for more than 95 of the N input in unmanaged environments(36 201) The presence of the nifH gene of the Alphaproteobacteria (BradyrhizobiumAzospirillum Hyphomicrobium and Gluconacetobacter) and Deltaproteobacteria (Geo-bacter spp) was observed in different temperate forest soils demonstrating the ubiq-uity of some N-fixing bacteria not only as symbiotic but also as free-living taxa (200)The observed diversity of N-fixing bacteria may rapidly change if there is an exogenousinput of N (36) Particularly in temperate forest soils that are strongly affected byanthropogenic N deposition N input is a good predictor of N fixation activity (202)

Nitrification and denitrification lead to the loss of N from soils through NO N2O andN2 gas emissions as well as through the leaching of NO3 if its concentration exceeds theecosystem retention capacity (203 204) Among these nitrous oxide is a particularlypowerful greenhouse gas with a potentially warming effect that is almost 300 timeslarger than that of CO2 (205) Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia tonitrate via a multienzymatic process The amoA gene encoding ammonia oxidasewhich performs the first step of nitrification is present in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria

(AOB) as well as ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) but AOB rather than AOA seem todominate in soils (206 207) The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is often limiting intemperate and boreal forest soils (208) All known AOB belong to the Betaproteobac-teria and Gammaproteobacteria and they are mostly represented by the genera Nitro-somonas Nitrosococcus and Nitrosospira Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira are furthersubdivided into clusters with different responses to environmental drivers such asacidity pH and ammonia availability and due to that changes in soil N availability canresult in dramatic shifts in the composition of the AOB community (206 208 209)Nitrosospira seems to be the most abundant AOB in acidic forest soils with low NH4

contents (206 210 211) The amoA gene content however appears to vary acrossforest soils (212) Nitrification rates seem to be correlated with the AOB abundance insoil (209 213) AOB are also involved in N losses from soil by producing N2O duringdenitrification (214) Denitrification is essential for the global N cycle maintaining thereduction of nitrate or nitrite to gaseous nitrogen compounds such as N2 and nitrousoxide The denitrification pathway is known as dissimilatory nitrate reduction becausenitrate or nitrogen oxides are the final electron acceptors allowing bacteria to produceenergy at the expense of reduced electron donors in the absence of oxygen Denitri-fying bacteria are not always able to perform all the steps of the dissimilatory pathwayand incomplete denitrification is the major source of N2O emissions from soils (215)Denitrification can be addressed by studying marker genes involved in the individualenzymatic steps such as the reduction of nitrate (narG) nitrite (nirKnirS) nitric oxide(norB) and nitrous oxide (nosZ) (205) Denitrifying bacteria are abundant and wide-spread in forest soils and denitrification genes have been found in bacterial strainsbelonging to the Acidobacteria Proteobacteria and Firmicutes as well as in otherbacterial phyla (216ndash218) A significant correlation was described among gene abun-dances denitrification rates and NO and N2O fluxes confirming the importance of theircarriers for the environmental processes that occur in forest soils (69 203 219) Inaddition to mineral N forms bacteria may obtain N from a range of organic compoundspresent in forest soils namely the chitin present in the polysaccharides of fungalmycelia and the amino acids and proteins in dead organic matter The utilization ofthese compounds is expected to be subject to intensive competition among ectomy-corrhizal fungi saprotrophic fungi and bacteria (146)

While the potential source of Nmdashthe atmospheremdashis theoretically unlimited this isnot the case for phosphorus (P) which is supplied mostly by weathering of minerals Pthus represents the limiting nutrient in many soils (Fig 3) Bacteria are importantmediators of the P cycle because some are able to solubilize mineral P while others mayimmobilize it in their biomass Unfortunately the involvement of bacteria in the P cyclehas received far less attention than that in the N and C cycles The main mechanismresponsible for P uptake by bacteria is through the solubilization and uptake ofinorganic P its most abundant source The ability to solubilize inorganic P has beendescribed for different bacteria and ectomycorrhizal fungi present in the rhizosphereand soil This ability is related to the release of organic anions such as citrategluconate oxalate and succinate into the soil (220) Phosphatase enzymes releasephosphate from organic phosphate esters during organic matter decay (221) In arecent metagenomic analysis of temperate forest soils it was highlighted that membersof the Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria dom-inated the processes related to P turnover (222 223) While genes related to Psolubilization are more abundant in P-rich soil those that play a role in P uptakesystems are more abundant in P-limited soil (222)

EFFECTS OF GLOBAL CHANGE ON BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES IN FORESTECOSYSTEMS

mount importance for prediction of the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatechange (224) Future climatic conditions are predicted to produce tree species migra-tion (225 226) an increase in extreme events such as droughts and wildfires and anincrease in vegetation productivity due to longer growth seasons (13 227 228) Theseeffects in combination with other phenomena such as increased N deposition maycause dramatic shifts in global C fluxes in particular affecting the boreal and temperateforests of the northern continental regions (229ndash231) The high diversity of C com-pounds released into the soils and the complex structures of bacterial and fungalcommunities with their overlapping functions create a very complex system that isdifficult to incorporate into predictive models (16) The complex nonlinear interactionsbetween forest and atmosphere have the capacity to constrain or amplify climatechange-associated processes depending on the activity of soil bacteria and fungi(232ndash234) Recent studies investigating the effects of global change on ecosystemproperties offer the first clues to the prediction of future developments (Table 1)

Carbon Dioxide

Increasing CO2 concentrations are predicted to boost NPP in boreal and temperateforests (235) however their capacity to maintain such high levels of NPP will stronglydepend on their ability to overcome nutrient limitations (236) Unfortunately thedegree to which forests will persist as C sinks remains uncertain (237) in particular therhizosphere priming effect may be reduced and the increased NPP may increase soil Cstorage (238 239) It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset byC sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of bothtrees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions

Thus how do CO2 levels affect bacterial populations in forest topsoils And is itpossible to generalize the observations obtained across ecosystems for different soilswith various vegetations The effects of elevated CO2 levels do not directly affect soilbacterial populations CO2 concentrations in soil pores are normally higher than thosein the atmosphere and the response of bacteria to small CO2 changes is thus negligible(240) As a result the observed effects are mostly indirectly driven by altered plantproduction and root exudation which are both tree species specific In additionchanges in organic acid exudation by mycorrhizal fungi as a result of the presence ofCO2 will affect the bacterial community composition (152) and this process alsodepends on the vegetation properties It is difficult to determine whether the functionalresponses of bacterial communities to CO2 will be similar across forests or will dependon soil and vegetation characteristics The expected increase in root exudation shouldgenerally favor the development of soil copiotrophic bacteria over specialized olig-otrophs A good example of this response is the decrease in abundance of oligotrophicAcidobacteria in various soils following an increase in CO2 (144 152 238 240) Such ageneral response is rather exceptional considering that different members of the samephylum often respond differently to the same disturbance (241) The increased abun-dance of certain bacterial taxa will have functional consequences only if their functionaltraits do not change in response to the treatment which may explain the sometimescontroversial results obtained for responses to CO2 in different forest soils despite thefairly consistent response of bacterial abundance after an increase in CO2 (238 240242) For example while some studies have indicated that an elevated CO2 level doesnot affect the AOB abundance or nitrifying activity (207) others have described anincrease in nitrification or nitrifying taxa (240 243) even in an unaltered bacterialcommunity Thus it is unclear whether the effects of increased CO2 levels on bacterialbiomass richness community composition and functionality will be consistent acrossdifferent forest ecosystems

Global Warming

The rise in temperature is intimately linked to the increased CO2 concentration inthe atmosphere because the latter largely causes the former Although both processesappear globally the extent of the rise in temperature is predicted to be pronounced in

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Page 12: Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem ...and boreal forests. Although most studies have focused on fungi, forest soil bac-teria also play important roles in this

plants to rhizosphere microbiota has been shown for many crops little is known aboutthe structure and function of bacterial and fungal communities that are activelyinvolved in the assimilation of root exudates in forest ecosystems (188) Althoughdecomposer fungi can find suitable conditions in the nonmycorrhizal rhizospheres oftrees this niche has traditionally been considered bacterium dominated because theirrapid growth favors their utilization of root exudates (185) Recent studies indicatedthat soil bacteria indeed use root exudates in forest soils (189) and the seasonalproduction of root exudates leads to an increase in bacterial biomass as well as in theshare of the rhizosphere- and mycorrhizosphere-specific bacteria in mineral soil insummer (56 70) In the same way as that of tree roots hyphae of ectomycorrhizal fungiexude low-molecular-weight organic compounds that support diverse bacterial com-munities (78 190) The rhizosphere of roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi is specificin that a portion of the plant-derived C is released into the soil through the ECMmycelium (155) As a consequence ECM fungi constitute a nutrient hot spot for othermicroorganisms because the fungal symbionts have a very large surface area andreceive a direct supply of photosynthetic C (149) Soil bacteria have been found to growabundantly and rapidly at the expense of the exudates from P sylvestris roots colonizedby Piloderma supporting a role for the bacteria in the metabolism of the organic acidsand other compounds produced by the fungus (152) The observation that thesebacteria are able to utilize fungal sugars more readily than plant sugars supports theexistence of a bacterial guild that is specialized for hyphal exudates (191)

Methane represents a gaseous form of organic C that can be oxidized by certainforest soil bacteria under aerobic conditions (192) These methanotrophic bacteria arethe main consumers of atmospheric methane as well as methane generated bymethanogenic archaea in waterlogged anaerobic horizons of certain soils (193ndash196)Due to the presence of methanotrophic bacteria forest soils (especially those of theboreal forests) may represent a sink of atmospheric methane Although methanotrophsare phylogenetically located in two bacterial phyla most of the characterized isolatesbelong to the Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria (197) The discovery ofnew acidophilic methanotrophs related to Verrucomicrobia recently revealed a higherlevel of diversity of methanotrophic bacteria in as yet unexplored acidic environments(198) In addition to using organic C sources certain soil bacteria are able to fix CO2These autotrophic taxa were described for the genus Bradyrhizobium (Betaproteobac-teria) whose members are abundant inhabitants of forest soils (199 200) and a recenttranscriptomic study confirmed the expression of the components of a photosyntheticapparatus in the Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria The input of C into forest soilsthrough fixation is however apparently minimal (55)

Role of Bacteria in Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycles

Nitrogen is the most common limiting nutrient in soils entering the ecosystemlargely through fixation (Fig 3) This process is dominated by bacteria that are esti-mated to be responsible for more than 95 of the N input in unmanaged environments(36 201) The presence of the nifH gene of the Alphaproteobacteria (BradyrhizobiumAzospirillum Hyphomicrobium and Gluconacetobacter) and Deltaproteobacteria (Geo-bacter spp) was observed in different temperate forest soils demonstrating the ubiq-uity of some N-fixing bacteria not only as symbiotic but also as free-living taxa (200)The observed diversity of N-fixing bacteria may rapidly change if there is an exogenousinput of N (36) Particularly in temperate forest soils that are strongly affected byanthropogenic N deposition N input is a good predictor of N fixation activity (202)

Nitrification and denitrification lead to the loss of N from soils through NO N2O andN2 gas emissions as well as through the leaching of NO3 if its concentration exceeds theecosystem retention capacity (203 204) Among these nitrous oxide is a particularlypowerful greenhouse gas with a potentially warming effect that is almost 300 timeslarger than that of CO2 (205) Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia tonitrate via a multienzymatic process The amoA gene encoding ammonia oxidasewhich performs the first step of nitrification is present in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria

(AOB) as well as ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) but AOB rather than AOA seem todominate in soils (206 207) The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is often limiting intemperate and boreal forest soils (208) All known AOB belong to the Betaproteobac-teria and Gammaproteobacteria and they are mostly represented by the genera Nitro-somonas Nitrosococcus and Nitrosospira Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira are furthersubdivided into clusters with different responses to environmental drivers such asacidity pH and ammonia availability and due to that changes in soil N availability canresult in dramatic shifts in the composition of the AOB community (206 208 209)Nitrosospira seems to be the most abundant AOB in acidic forest soils with low NH4

contents (206 210 211) The amoA gene content however appears to vary acrossforest soils (212) Nitrification rates seem to be correlated with the AOB abundance insoil (209 213) AOB are also involved in N losses from soil by producing N2O duringdenitrification (214) Denitrification is essential for the global N cycle maintaining thereduction of nitrate or nitrite to gaseous nitrogen compounds such as N2 and nitrousoxide The denitrification pathway is known as dissimilatory nitrate reduction becausenitrate or nitrogen oxides are the final electron acceptors allowing bacteria to produceenergy at the expense of reduced electron donors in the absence of oxygen Denitri-fying bacteria are not always able to perform all the steps of the dissimilatory pathwayand incomplete denitrification is the major source of N2O emissions from soils (215)Denitrification can be addressed by studying marker genes involved in the individualenzymatic steps such as the reduction of nitrate (narG) nitrite (nirKnirS) nitric oxide(norB) and nitrous oxide (nosZ) (205) Denitrifying bacteria are abundant and wide-spread in forest soils and denitrification genes have been found in bacterial strainsbelonging to the Acidobacteria Proteobacteria and Firmicutes as well as in otherbacterial phyla (216ndash218) A significant correlation was described among gene abun-dances denitrification rates and NO and N2O fluxes confirming the importance of theircarriers for the environmental processes that occur in forest soils (69 203 219) Inaddition to mineral N forms bacteria may obtain N from a range of organic compoundspresent in forest soils namely the chitin present in the polysaccharides of fungalmycelia and the amino acids and proteins in dead organic matter The utilization ofthese compounds is expected to be subject to intensive competition among ectomy-corrhizal fungi saprotrophic fungi and bacteria (146)

While the potential source of Nmdashthe atmospheremdashis theoretically unlimited this isnot the case for phosphorus (P) which is supplied mostly by weathering of minerals Pthus represents the limiting nutrient in many soils (Fig 3) Bacteria are importantmediators of the P cycle because some are able to solubilize mineral P while others mayimmobilize it in their biomass Unfortunately the involvement of bacteria in the P cyclehas received far less attention than that in the N and C cycles The main mechanismresponsible for P uptake by bacteria is through the solubilization and uptake ofinorganic P its most abundant source The ability to solubilize inorganic P has beendescribed for different bacteria and ectomycorrhizal fungi present in the rhizosphereand soil This ability is related to the release of organic anions such as citrategluconate oxalate and succinate into the soil (220) Phosphatase enzymes releasephosphate from organic phosphate esters during organic matter decay (221) In arecent metagenomic analysis of temperate forest soils it was highlighted that membersof the Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria dom-inated the processes related to P turnover (222 223) While genes related to Psolubilization are more abundant in P-rich soil those that play a role in P uptakesystems are more abundant in P-limited soil (222)

EFFECTS OF GLOBAL CHANGE ON BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES IN FORESTECOSYSTEMS

Bacteria strongly contribute to key ecological processes that are important forsociety in light of the ongoing global change (114) The determination of how rela-tionships between site factors and bacterial communities affect the equilibrium be-tween soil organic matter decomposition and C sequestration in forests is of para-

mount importance for prediction of the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatechange (224) Future climatic conditions are predicted to produce tree species migra-tion (225 226) an increase in extreme events such as droughts and wildfires and anincrease in vegetation productivity due to longer growth seasons (13 227 228) Theseeffects in combination with other phenomena such as increased N deposition maycause dramatic shifts in global C fluxes in particular affecting the boreal and temperateforests of the northern continental regions (229ndash231) The high diversity of C com-pounds released into the soils and the complex structures of bacterial and fungalcommunities with their overlapping functions create a very complex system that isdifficult to incorporate into predictive models (16) The complex nonlinear interactionsbetween forest and atmosphere have the capacity to constrain or amplify climatechange-associated processes depending on the activity of soil bacteria and fungi(232ndash234) Recent studies investigating the effects of global change on ecosystemproperties offer the first clues to the prediction of future developments (Table 1)

Carbon Dioxide

Increasing CO2 concentrations are predicted to boost NPP in boreal and temperateforests (235) however their capacity to maintain such high levels of NPP will stronglydepend on their ability to overcome nutrient limitations (236) Unfortunately thedegree to which forests will persist as C sinks remains uncertain (237) in particular therhizosphere priming effect may be reduced and the increased NPP may increase soil Cstorage (238 239) It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset byC sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of bothtrees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions

Thus how do CO2 levels affect bacterial populations in forest topsoils And is itpossible to generalize the observations obtained across ecosystems for different soilswith various vegetations The effects of elevated CO2 levels do not directly affect soilbacterial populations CO2 concentrations in soil pores are normally higher than thosein the atmosphere and the response of bacteria to small CO2 changes is thus negligible(240) As a result the observed effects are mostly indirectly driven by altered plantproduction and root exudation which are both tree species specific In additionchanges in organic acid exudation by mycorrhizal fungi as a result of the presence ofCO2 will affect the bacterial community composition (152) and this process alsodepends on the vegetation properties It is difficult to determine whether the functionalresponses of bacterial communities to CO2 will be similar across forests or will dependon soil and vegetation characteristics The expected increase in root exudation shouldgenerally favor the development of soil copiotrophic bacteria over specialized olig-otrophs A good example of this response is the decrease in abundance of oligotrophicAcidobacteria in various soils following an increase in CO2 (144 152 238 240) Such ageneral response is rather exceptional considering that different members of the samephylum often respond differently to the same disturbance (241) The increased abun-dance of certain bacterial taxa will have functional consequences only if their functionaltraits do not change in response to the treatment which may explain the sometimescontroversial results obtained for responses to CO2 in different forest soils despite thefairly consistent response of bacterial abundance after an increase in CO2 (238 240242) For example while some studies have indicated that an elevated CO2 level doesnot affect the AOB abundance or nitrifying activity (207) others have described anincrease in nitrification or nitrifying taxa (240 243) even in an unaltered bacterialcommunity Thus it is unclear whether the effects of increased CO2 levels on bacterialbiomass richness community composition and functionality will be consistent acrossdifferent forest ecosystems

Global Warming

The rise in temperature is intimately linked to the increased CO2 concentration inthe atmosphere because the latter largely causes the former Although both processesappear globally the extent of the rise in temperature is predicted to be pronounced in

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Page 13: Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem ...and boreal forests. Although most studies have focused on fungi, forest soil bac-teria also play important roles in this

(AOB) as well as ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) but AOB rather than AOA seem todominate in soils (206 207) The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is often limiting intemperate and boreal forest soils (208) All known AOB belong to the Betaproteobac-teria and Gammaproteobacteria and they are mostly represented by the genera Nitro-somonas Nitrosococcus and Nitrosospira Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira are furthersubdivided into clusters with different responses to environmental drivers such asacidity pH and ammonia availability and due to that changes in soil N availability canresult in dramatic shifts in the composition of the AOB community (206 208 209)Nitrosospira seems to be the most abundant AOB in acidic forest soils with low NH4

contents (206 210 211) The amoA gene content however appears to vary acrossforest soils (212) Nitrification rates seem to be correlated with the AOB abundance insoil (209 213) AOB are also involved in N losses from soil by producing N2O duringdenitrification (214) Denitrification is essential for the global N cycle maintaining thereduction of nitrate or nitrite to gaseous nitrogen compounds such as N2 and nitrousoxide The denitrification pathway is known as dissimilatory nitrate reduction becausenitrate or nitrogen oxides are the final electron acceptors allowing bacteria to produceenergy at the expense of reduced electron donors in the absence of oxygen Denitri-fying bacteria are not always able to perform all the steps of the dissimilatory pathwayand incomplete denitrification is the major source of N2O emissions from soils (215)Denitrification can be addressed by studying marker genes involved in the individualenzymatic steps such as the reduction of nitrate (narG) nitrite (nirKnirS) nitric oxide(norB) and nitrous oxide (nosZ) (205) Denitrifying bacteria are abundant and wide-spread in forest soils and denitrification genes have been found in bacterial strainsbelonging to the Acidobacteria Proteobacteria and Firmicutes as well as in otherbacterial phyla (216ndash218) A significant correlation was described among gene abun-dances denitrification rates and NO and N2O fluxes confirming the importance of theircarriers for the environmental processes that occur in forest soils (69 203 219) Inaddition to mineral N forms bacteria may obtain N from a range of organic compoundspresent in forest soils namely the chitin present in the polysaccharides of fungalmycelia and the amino acids and proteins in dead organic matter The utilization ofthese compounds is expected to be subject to intensive competition among ectomy-corrhizal fungi saprotrophic fungi and bacteria (146)

While the potential source of Nmdashthe atmospheremdashis theoretically unlimited this isnot the case for phosphorus (P) which is supplied mostly by weathering of minerals Pthus represents the limiting nutrient in many soils (Fig 3) Bacteria are importantmediators of the P cycle because some are able to solubilize mineral P while others mayimmobilize it in their biomass Unfortunately the involvement of bacteria in the P cyclehas received far less attention than that in the N and C cycles The main mechanismresponsible for P uptake by bacteria is through the solubilization and uptake ofinorganic P its most abundant source The ability to solubilize inorganic P has beendescribed for different bacteria and ectomycorrhizal fungi present in the rhizosphereand soil This ability is related to the release of organic anions such as citrategluconate oxalate and succinate into the soil (220) Phosphatase enzymes releasephosphate from organic phosphate esters during organic matter decay (221) In arecent metagenomic analysis of temperate forest soils it was highlighted that membersof the Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria dom-inated the processes related to P turnover (222 223) While genes related to Psolubilization are more abundant in P-rich soil those that play a role in P uptakesystems are more abundant in P-limited soil (222)

EFFECTS OF GLOBAL CHANGE ON BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES IN FORESTECOSYSTEMS

Bacteria strongly contribute to key ecological processes that are important forsociety in light of the ongoing global change (114) The determination of how rela-tionships between site factors and bacterial communities affect the equilibrium be-tween soil organic matter decomposition and C sequestration in forests is of para-

mount importance for prediction of the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatechange (224) Future climatic conditions are predicted to produce tree species migra-tion (225 226) an increase in extreme events such as droughts and wildfires and anincrease in vegetation productivity due to longer growth seasons (13 227 228) Theseeffects in combination with other phenomena such as increased N deposition maycause dramatic shifts in global C fluxes in particular affecting the boreal and temperateforests of the northern continental regions (229ndash231) The high diversity of C com-pounds released into the soils and the complex structures of bacterial and fungalcommunities with their overlapping functions create a very complex system that isdifficult to incorporate into predictive models (16) The complex nonlinear interactionsbetween forest and atmosphere have the capacity to constrain or amplify climatechange-associated processes depending on the activity of soil bacteria and fungi(232ndash234) Recent studies investigating the effects of global change on ecosystemproperties offer the first clues to the prediction of future developments (Table 1)

Carbon Dioxide

Increasing CO2 concentrations are predicted to boost NPP in boreal and temperateforests (235) however their capacity to maintain such high levels of NPP will stronglydepend on their ability to overcome nutrient limitations (236) Unfortunately thedegree to which forests will persist as C sinks remains uncertain (237) in particular therhizosphere priming effect may be reduced and the increased NPP may increase soil Cstorage (238 239) It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset byC sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of bothtrees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions

Thus how do CO2 levels affect bacterial populations in forest topsoils And is itpossible to generalize the observations obtained across ecosystems for different soilswith various vegetations The effects of elevated CO2 levels do not directly affect soilbacterial populations CO2 concentrations in soil pores are normally higher than thosein the atmosphere and the response of bacteria to small CO2 changes is thus negligible(240) As a result the observed effects are mostly indirectly driven by altered plantproduction and root exudation which are both tree species specific In additionchanges in organic acid exudation by mycorrhizal fungi as a result of the presence ofCO2 will affect the bacterial community composition (152) and this process alsodepends on the vegetation properties It is difficult to determine whether the functionalresponses of bacterial communities to CO2 will be similar across forests or will dependon soil and vegetation characteristics The expected increase in root exudation shouldgenerally favor the development of soil copiotrophic bacteria over specialized olig-otrophs A good example of this response is the decrease in abundance of oligotrophicAcidobacteria in various soils following an increase in CO2 (144 152 238 240) Such ageneral response is rather exceptional considering that different members of the samephylum often respond differently to the same disturbance (241) The increased abun-dance of certain bacterial taxa will have functional consequences only if their functionaltraits do not change in response to the treatment which may explain the sometimescontroversial results obtained for responses to CO2 in different forest soils despite thefairly consistent response of bacterial abundance after an increase in CO2 (238 240242) For example while some studies have indicated that an elevated CO2 level doesnot affect the AOB abundance or nitrifying activity (207) others have described anincrease in nitrification or nitrifying taxa (240 243) even in an unaltered bacterialcommunity Thus it is unclear whether the effects of increased CO2 levels on bacterialbiomass richness community composition and functionality will be consistent acrossdifferent forest ecosystems

Global Warming

The rise in temperature is intimately linked to the increased CO2 concentration inthe atmosphere because the latter largely causes the former Although both processesappear globally the extent of the rise in temperature is predicted to be pronounced in

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Page 14: Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem ...and boreal forests. Although most studies have focused on fungi, forest soil bac-teria also play important roles in this

mount importance for prediction of the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatechange (224) Future climatic conditions are predicted to produce tree species migra-tion (225 226) an increase in extreme events such as droughts and wildfires and anincrease in vegetation productivity due to longer growth seasons (13 227 228) Theseeffects in combination with other phenomena such as increased N deposition maycause dramatic shifts in global C fluxes in particular affecting the boreal and temperateforests of the northern continental regions (229ndash231) The high diversity of C com-pounds released into the soils and the complex structures of bacterial and fungalcommunities with their overlapping functions create a very complex system that isdifficult to incorporate into predictive models (16) The complex nonlinear interactionsbetween forest and atmosphere have the capacity to constrain or amplify climatechange-associated processes depending on the activity of soil bacteria and fungi(232ndash234) Recent studies investigating the effects of global change on ecosystemproperties offer the first clues to the prediction of future developments (Table 1)

Carbon Dioxide

Increasing CO2 concentrations are predicted to boost NPP in boreal and temperateforests (235) however their capacity to maintain such high levels of NPP will stronglydepend on their ability to overcome nutrient limitations (236) Unfortunately thedegree to which forests will persist as C sinks remains uncertain (237) in particular therhizosphere priming effect may be reduced and the increased NPP may increase soil Cstorage (238 239) It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset byC sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of bothtrees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions

Thus how do CO2 levels affect bacterial populations in forest topsoils And is itpossible to generalize the observations obtained across ecosystems for different soilswith various vegetations The effects of elevated CO2 levels do not directly affect soilbacterial populations CO2 concentrations in soil pores are normally higher than thosein the atmosphere and the response of bacteria to small CO2 changes is thus negligible(240) As a result the observed effects are mostly indirectly driven by altered plantproduction and root exudation which are both tree species specific In additionchanges in organic acid exudation by mycorrhizal fungi as a result of the presence ofCO2 will affect the bacterial community composition (152) and this process alsodepends on the vegetation properties It is difficult to determine whether the functionalresponses of bacterial communities to CO2 will be similar across forests or will dependon soil and vegetation characteristics The expected increase in root exudation shouldgenerally favor the development of soil copiotrophic bacteria over specialized olig-otrophs A good example of this response is the decrease in abundance of oligotrophicAcidobacteria in various soils following an increase in CO2 (144 152 238 240) Such ageneral response is rather exceptional considering that different members of the samephylum often respond differently to the same disturbance (241) The increased abun-dance of certain bacterial taxa will have functional consequences only if their functionaltraits do not change in response to the treatment which may explain the sometimescontroversial results obtained for responses to CO2 in different forest soils despite thefairly consistent response of bacterial abundance after an increase in CO2 (238 240242) For example while some studies have indicated that an elevated CO2 level doesnot affect the AOB abundance or nitrifying activity (207) others have described anincrease in nitrification or nitrifying taxa (240 243) even in an unaltered bacterialcommunity Thus it is unclear whether the effects of increased CO2 levels on bacterialbiomass richness community composition and functionality will be consistent acrossdifferent forest ecosystems

Global Warming

The rise in temperature is intimately linked to the increased CO2 concentration inthe atmosphere because the latter largely causes the former Although both processesappear globally the extent of the rise in temperature is predicted to be pronounced in

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Salvador Lladoacute is a researcher whose maincareer focus is to relate bacterial identity tofunctionality related to the C cycle in tem-perate forest soils During his PhD researchin the Department of Microbiology of theUniversity of Barcelona he worked on char-acterizing bacterial populations involved inthe decomposition of hydrocarbon pollut-ants in contaminated soils After he obtainedhis PhD in December 2013 he moved tothe laboratory of Petr Baldrian in the Labo-ratory of Environmental Microbiology of the Czech Academy of Sci-ences where he is applying DNA and RNA high-throughput sequencingand metabolomics combined with classical microbiological methods ofisolation and physiological characterization to obtain a better under-standing of the roles of the most abundant bacteria in the C and Ncycles in forest soils His broader interest is to be able to relate bacterialcommunity structure and functionalities in soils with the changing Cfluxes due to climate change

Rubeacuten Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar studied biology atthe University of Murcia (Spain) and carriedout his research in the Department of Soiland Water Conservation at the CEBAS-CSIC(Spain) working on the application of mo-lecular methods to improve the use of ben-eficial microorganisms in agriculture and hereceived his PhD in applied biology fromthe University of Alicante (Spain) in 2011Afterwards he become a postdoctoral re-searcher in the Laboratory of EnvironmentalMicrobiology of the CAS (Czech Republic) and worked on the study ofthe composition and ecology of soil bacteria by using multiomicsmethods His current research is focused on exploring the bacterialsystems involved in polysaccharide degradation in forest soil and indiscovering new microorganisms and enzymes useful for biomass con-version and for the production of environmentally friendly chemicalsand biofuels His broader interest is to unveil the enormous potentialof microbial strains as natural resources for the different fields ofbiotechnology

Petr Baldrian received his PhD in microbi-ology at the Charles University in PragueCzech Republic based on work describingthe effects of metals on wood-rotting fungiHe later changed his topic to environmentalmicrobiology focusing on enzyme activitiesand the fungal contribution to decomposi-tion of litter and soil organic matter as wellas the characterization of enzymatic systemsof microorganisms and their biotechnologi-cal potential He is now Head of the Labora-tory of Environmental Microbiology of the Institute of Microbiology ofthe Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague Recently he contributed tothe identification of the active fraction of the soil microbiome and theanalysis of the relative contributions of bacteria and fungi to ecosystemprocesses His work is mostly focused on the functioning of forest soilsthe seasonality of microbial processes and the drivers of communityassembly of soil bacteria and fungi

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Page 17: Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem ...and boreal forests. Although most studies have focused on fungi, forest soil bac-teria also play important roles in this

the Northern Hemisphere where temperate and boreal forest ecosystems dominateThe long-term scenarios are however not clear because multiple long-term eventssuch as the depletion of labile C limiting bacterial growth thermal adaptation ofmicrobial processes and shifts in microbial communities or in the expression of theirmetabolic potential may attenuate positive feedbacks of warming (244) The C balanceafter warming will largely depend on the efficiency of soil microbes in accessing andusing C in response to the altered environmental conditions (12) A very recent workshowed that an increase in temperatures can increase tree exudation rates (229) As aconsequence warming can alter soil drivers through exudation which in turn mightproduce different responses of soil rhizosphere bacterial communities affecting SOMdecomposition differently in different environments depending on the tree-specificexudation (229)

After years of experimentally increased warming in boreal and temperate forestsoils bacterial biomass values are usually not significantly different from those ofnonwarmed controls suggesting an attenuation effect (234 245ndash248) However it hasbeen demonstrated that warming affects bacterial diversity and that these changesreflect the magnitude of the temperature change (249) These shifts in bacterialcommunities may affect the C cycling processes that involve bacteria Multiple studieshave shown that short- and long-term warming can affect the composition of the soilbacterial community toward populations that are more adapted to the use of complexsources of C (234 250) Members of the Alphaproteobacteria and Acidobacteria displayincreased abundances after simulated warming suggesting a change in soil bacteriallifestyle from copiotrophy to oligotrophy which coincides with the depletion of labileC while maintaining high levels of respiration (16 234) This finding is contradictory tothe aforementioned effect of increased atmospheric CO2 which should boost copi-otrophic bacterial populations highlighting the necessity of studies that combine themanipulation of both variables However other studies have documented no shifts inbacterial communities after years of warming (90 246)

Considering the warming effects on N cycle processes we may rely only upon a fewcontradictory works examining that topic An increase in temperature was observed toaccelerate nitrification and denitrification processes affecting the N cycle in soils (229251) The warming effect may be offset by other factors such as N deposition whichcan increase the temperature sensitivity of the enzymes involved in SOM decom-position or suppress the decomposition process counterbalancing the primingeffects (245 252)

Nitrogen Deposition

Global anthropogenic N inputs are estimated to be 30 to 50 higher than thosefrom natural sources They have increased 10-fold in the past 150 years and areprojected to double during the next century (253 254) In contrast to global warmingand increased levels of CO2 however their effects are largely local Since N is a limitingnutrient in most terrestrial ecosystems including boreal and temperate forests (255)anthropogenic N deposition may strongly influence NPP in these environments byreducing this limitation (256) N deposition also has a range of additional consequencesthat range from shifts in the soil CN ratio soil acidification and root exudation tochanges in the vegetation and microbiota (257) Bacterial soil communities are clearlysensitive to increased levels of N itself as well as to all the associated soil physicochem-ical changes (213 258 259)

There appears to be a general consensus that N deposition increases soil C seques-tration due to the decline in SOM decomposition via the reduction of biomass andactivity of soil microbial populations in many different soil environments includingtemperate and boreal forests (258 260ndash264) The most probable reason for C seques-tration is the observed reduction of tree root exudation (256) although direct effects ofa pH decrease induced by N deposition were proposed as an alternative explanation(265) Although the reduction of biomass following N input was mostly observed infungi (256 266) it was recently noted that the biomass of soil bacteria can be reduced

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Salvador Lladoacute is a researcher whose maincareer focus is to relate bacterial identity tofunctionality related to the C cycle in tem-perate forest soils During his PhD researchin the Department of Microbiology of theUniversity of Barcelona he worked on char-acterizing bacterial populations involved inthe decomposition of hydrocarbon pollut-ants in contaminated soils After he obtainedhis PhD in December 2013 he moved tothe laboratory of Petr Baldrian in the Labo-ratory of Environmental Microbiology of the Czech Academy of Sci-ences where he is applying DNA and RNA high-throughput sequencingand metabolomics combined with classical microbiological methods ofisolation and physiological characterization to obtain a better under-standing of the roles of the most abundant bacteria in the C and Ncycles in forest soils His broader interest is to be able to relate bacterialcommunity structure and functionalities in soils with the changing Cfluxes due to climate change

Rubeacuten Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar studied biology atthe University of Murcia (Spain) and carriedout his research in the Department of Soiland Water Conservation at the CEBAS-CSIC(Spain) working on the application of mo-lecular methods to improve the use of ben-eficial microorganisms in agriculture and hereceived his PhD in applied biology fromthe University of Alicante (Spain) in 2011Afterwards he become a postdoctoral re-searcher in the Laboratory of EnvironmentalMicrobiology of the CAS (Czech Republic) and worked on the study ofthe composition and ecology of soil bacteria by using multiomicsmethods His current research is focused on exploring the bacterialsystems involved in polysaccharide degradation in forest soil and indiscovering new microorganisms and enzymes useful for biomass con-version and for the production of environmentally friendly chemicalsand biofuels His broader interest is to unveil the enormous potentialof microbial strains as natural resources for the different fields ofbiotechnology

Petr Baldrian received his PhD in microbi-ology at the Charles University in PragueCzech Republic based on work describingthe effects of metals on wood-rotting fungiHe later changed his topic to environmentalmicrobiology focusing on enzyme activitiesand the fungal contribution to decomposi-tion of litter and soil organic matter as wellas the characterization of enzymatic systemsof microorganisms and their biotechnologi-cal potential He is now Head of the Labora-tory of Environmental Microbiology of the Institute of Microbiology ofthe Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague Recently he contributed tothe identification of the active fraction of the soil microbiome and theanalysis of the relative contributions of bacteria and fungi to ecosystemprocesses His work is mostly focused on the functioning of forest soilsthe seasonality of microbial processes and the drivers of communityassembly of soil bacteria and fungi

Page 18: Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem ...and boreal forests. Although most studies have focused on fungi, forest soil bac-teria also play important roles in this

as well by up to 50 (258 263 267) Reduction of the bacterial biomass howeverdepends on the level of N input At chronically low levels of N which are typical ofboreal and temperate forest soils the bacterial biomass may remain stable while thefungal biomass markedly drops This decrease in the fungalbacterial biomass ratio dueto N addition is consistently found across forest soils where it ranges from 25 to 70(256 257 263 266)

N deposition also changes the composition of bacterial communities in forest soilsThe abundances of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia decrease while those of Actino-bacteria and Firmicutes increase following the addition of N to a variety of soils (264)In a report on a temperate forest the share of Acidobacteria did not respond to Naddition but some groups within the phylum were significantly affected suggestingthat the response of the bacterial community may be complex (268) Also in othercases the deposition of N significantly affected relative abundances of core bacterialphyla but it reduced bacterial diversity and altered the bacterial composition at lowertaxonomic levels (258 261)

A decrease in oligotrophic bacteria is often found concomitantly with a decrease inthe activity of enzymes related to cellulose breakdown again supporting the hypoth-esis that the addition of N negatively affects microbial SOM decomposition (262 264)When genes of the N cycle (fixation nitrification and denitrification) were assessed inN deposition experiments the metabolic potential of the bacterial community re-mained stable or even decreased in terms of gene abundance (213 267) However instudies assessing the effects of N addition on N cycle processes in forest soils it wasreported that after N saturation of the environment bacterial and archaeal nitrificationand denitrification gain importance initiating the cycle and result in the efflux of Ncompounds such as nitrate N2 or nitrous oxide gas from the soil ecosystem (150 269270) This phenomenon suggests that the abundances of particular genes in this caseare not correlated with the rates of ecological processes In this sense it was recentlyproposed that even in forest soil environments where the addition of N highly increasesnitrification it is possible that bacteria with more efficient nitrification pathways areselected and that this leads to higher rates of nitrification despite the reduced abun-dance of nitrifiers and genes related to N cycle processes (213) Clearly metatranscrip-tomic or metaproteomic studies are needed to gain insight into the regulation of theN cycle by N availability

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly boreal and temperate forests will be important for the global Cbalance considering the global change The role of bacteria in these ecosystems hasbeen understudied and it will be important to clarify whether these biomes willcontinue to be a large C sink for anthropogenic emissions Here we show that despitethe important role of fungi in forest soils bacteria fulfill multiple important ecosystemroles in the forest environment including organic matter decomposition regulation ofmycorrhizal symbiosis and involvement in N cycle processes More complex andcomparable studies to assess the variables affected by global change in a wide rangeof ecosystems will be required to predict the future of these environments The effectsproduced by greenhouse gas emissions and anthropogenic deposition of chemicalcompounds may provide a counterbalancing effect in some ecosystems while thechanges may be dangerous in others due to positive feedback Although our knowl-edge is still very limited we stress that the scientific data collected over the past yearsand even decades is never contradictory with regard to the need for boreal andtemperate forest ecosystem protection by strict policies A greater decrease in globalforest area will be particularly detrimental because it will prevent other climate changemitigation efforts such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions

Considering the importance of the transfer of C from the roots of primary producersto soil the rhizosphere is likely the most important hot spot of bacterial activity in soilsThe available nutrients provided by plants and mycorrhizal fungi lead to the formationof an interactive network of different soil microbes (not only bacteria) that makes the

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Salvador Lladoacute is a researcher whose maincareer focus is to relate bacterial identity tofunctionality related to the C cycle in tem-perate forest soils During his PhD researchin the Department of Microbiology of theUniversity of Barcelona he worked on char-acterizing bacterial populations involved inthe decomposition of hydrocarbon pollut-ants in contaminated soils After he obtainedhis PhD in December 2013 he moved tothe laboratory of Petr Baldrian in the Labo-ratory of Environmental Microbiology of the Czech Academy of Sci-ences where he is applying DNA and RNA high-throughput sequencingand metabolomics combined with classical microbiological methods ofisolation and physiological characterization to obtain a better under-standing of the roles of the most abundant bacteria in the C and Ncycles in forest soils His broader interest is to be able to relate bacterialcommunity structure and functionalities in soils with the changing Cfluxes due to climate change

Rubeacuten Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar studied biology atthe University of Murcia (Spain) and carriedout his research in the Department of Soiland Water Conservation at the CEBAS-CSIC(Spain) working on the application of mo-lecular methods to improve the use of ben-eficial microorganisms in agriculture and hereceived his PhD in applied biology fromthe University of Alicante (Spain) in 2011Afterwards he become a postdoctoral re-searcher in the Laboratory of EnvironmentalMicrobiology of the CAS (Czech Republic) and worked on the study ofthe composition and ecology of soil bacteria by using multiomicsmethods His current research is focused on exploring the bacterialsystems involved in polysaccharide degradation in forest soil and indiscovering new microorganisms and enzymes useful for biomass con-version and for the production of environmentally friendly chemicalsand biofuels His broader interest is to unveil the enormous potentialof microbial strains as natural resources for the different fields ofbiotechnology

Petr Baldrian received his PhD in microbi-ology at the Charles University in PragueCzech Republic based on work describingthe effects of metals on wood-rotting fungiHe later changed his topic to environmentalmicrobiology focusing on enzyme activitiesand the fungal contribution to decomposi-tion of litter and soil organic matter as wellas the characterization of enzymatic systemsof microorganisms and their biotechnologi-cal potential He is now Head of the Labora-tory of Environmental Microbiology of the Institute of Microbiology ofthe Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague Recently he contributed tothe identification of the active fraction of the soil microbiome and theanalysis of the relative contributions of bacteria and fungi to ecosystemprocesses His work is mostly focused on the functioning of forest soilsthe seasonality of microbial processes and the drivers of communityassembly of soil bacteria and fungi

Page 19: Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem ...and boreal forests. Although most studies have focused on fungi, forest soil bac-teria also play important roles in this

rhizosphere a fascinating and very complex system in which conditions are far fromthose in individual pores of the bulk soil The number of drivers to consider includingthe specificities of compounds and microbial diversity depending on the type of treeor plant and a large influence of seasonal effects (among others) hampers the acces-sibility to microbial ecologists of the processes that occur in the rhizosphere Howeverthe function of this niche very likely offers the key to understanding the biogeochem-istry of forest soils Studies combining the assessment of metabolites present in therhizosphere at different times their turnovers and transformations and the effects andimplications of bacterial taxa in terms of fluxes are the next step toward elucidating theeffects of forest trees on the rhizospheres and how they relate to the cycling of C andother nutrients

The large number of studies examining the bacterial communities in forest ecosys-tems that were published in recent years are shedding light on the high diversity andcomplex structure of these communities However to provide insights into the eco-logical roles and contributions of individual bacterial taxa to biogeochemical processesit is necessary to link the community composition to specific functions AlthoughDNA-based analyses aid in unraveling community dynamics and changes in microbialactivity RNA-based studies offer important information about the active bacterialcommunity and the processes that occur in ecosystems RNA-based studies of forestsconfirm how thousands of microbial taxa are transcriptionally active in forest litter andsoil underscoring the involvement of many players in important processes that occurin soil and the importance of taxa with a low abundance of DNA

Salvador Lladoacute is a researcher whose maincareer focus is to relate bacterial identity tofunctionality related to the C cycle in tem-perate forest soils During his PhD researchin the Department of Microbiology of theUniversity of Barcelona he worked on char-acterizing bacterial populations involved inthe decomposition of hydrocarbon pollut-ants in contaminated soils After he obtainedhis PhD in December 2013 he moved tothe laboratory of Petr Baldrian in the Labo-ratory of Environmental Microbiology of the Czech Academy of Sci-ences where he is applying DNA and RNA high-throughput sequencingand metabolomics combined with classical microbiological methods ofisolation and physiological characterization to obtain a better under-standing of the roles of the most abundant bacteria in the C and Ncycles in forest soils His broader interest is to be able to relate bacterialcommunity structure and functionalities in soils with the changing Cfluxes due to climate change

Rubeacuten Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar studied biology atthe University of Murcia (Spain) and carriedout his research in the Department of Soiland Water Conservation at the CEBAS-CSIC(Spain) working on the application of mo-lecular methods to improve the use of ben-eficial microorganisms in agriculture and hereceived his PhD in applied biology fromthe University of Alicante (Spain) in 2011Afterwards he become a postdoctoral re-searcher in the Laboratory of EnvironmentalMicrobiology of the CAS (Czech Republic) and worked on the study ofthe composition and ecology of soil bacteria by using multiomicsmethods His current research is focused on exploring the bacterialsystems involved in polysaccharide degradation in forest soil and indiscovering new microorganisms and enzymes useful for biomass con-version and for the production of environmentally friendly chemicalsand biofuels His broader interest is to unveil the enormous potentialof microbial strains as natural resources for the different fields ofbiotechnology

Petr Baldrian received his PhD in microbi-ology at the Charles University in PragueCzech Republic based on work describingthe effects of metals on wood-rotting fungiHe later changed his topic to environmentalmicrobiology focusing on enzyme activitiesand the fungal contribution to decomposi-tion of litter and soil organic matter as wellas the characterization of enzymatic systemsof microorganisms and their biotechnologi-cal potential He is now Head of the Labora-tory of Environmental Microbiology of the Institute of Microbiology ofthe Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague Recently he contributed tothe identification of the active fraction of the soil microbiome and theanalysis of the relative contributions of bacteria and fungi to ecosystemprocesses His work is mostly focused on the functioning of forest soilsthe seasonality of microbial processes and the drivers of communityassembly of soil bacteria and fungi

Salvador Lladoacute is a researcher whose maincareer focus is to relate bacterial identity tofunctionality related to the C cycle in tem-perate forest soils During his PhD researchin the Department of Microbiology of theUniversity of Barcelona he worked on char-acterizing bacterial populations involved inthe decomposition of hydrocarbon pollut-ants in contaminated soils After he obtainedhis PhD in December 2013 he moved tothe laboratory of Petr Baldrian in the Labo-ratory of Environmental Microbiology of the Czech Academy of Sci-ences where he is applying DNA and RNA high-throughput sequencingand metabolomics combined with classical microbiological methods ofisolation and physiological characterization to obtain a better under-standing of the roles of the most abundant bacteria in the C and Ncycles in forest soils His broader interest is to be able to relate bacterialcommunity structure and functionalities in soils with the changing Cfluxes due to climate change

Rubeacuten Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar studied biology atthe University of Murcia (Spain) and carriedout his research in the Department of Soiland Water Conservation at the CEBAS-CSIC(Spain) working on the application of mo-lecular methods to improve the use of ben-eficial microorganisms in agriculture and hereceived his PhD in applied biology fromthe University of Alicante (Spain) in 2011Afterwards he become a postdoctoral re-searcher in the Laboratory of EnvironmentalMicrobiology of the CAS (Czech Republic) and worked on the study ofthe composition and ecology of soil bacteria by using multiomicsmethods His current research is focused on exploring the bacterialsystems involved in polysaccharide degradation in forest soil and indiscovering new microorganisms and enzymes useful for biomass con-version and for the production of environmentally friendly chemicalsand biofuels His broader interest is to unveil the enormous potentialof microbial strains as natural resources for the different fields ofbiotechnology

Petr Baldrian received his PhD in microbi-ology at the Charles University in PragueCzech Republic based on work describingthe effects of metals on wood-rotting fungiHe later changed his topic to environmentalmicrobiology focusing on enzyme activitiesand the fungal contribution to decomposi-tion of litter and soil organic matter as wellas the characterization of enzymatic systemsof microorganisms and their biotechnologi-cal potential He is now Head of the Labora-tory of Environmental Microbiology of the Institute of Microbiology ofthe Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague Recently he contributed tothe identification of the active fraction of the soil microbiome and theanalysis of the relative contributions of bacteria and fungi to ecosystemprocesses His work is mostly focused on the functioning of forest soilsthe seasonality of microbial processes and the drivers of communityassembly of soil bacteria and fungi

Salvador Lladoacute is a researcher whose maincareer focus is to relate bacterial identity tofunctionality related to the C cycle in tem-perate forest soils During his PhD researchin the Department of Microbiology of theUniversity of Barcelona he worked on char-acterizing bacterial populations involved inthe decomposition of hydrocarbon pollut-ants in contaminated soils After he obtainedhis PhD in December 2013 he moved tothe laboratory of Petr Baldrian in the Labo-ratory of Environmental Microbiology of the Czech Academy of Sci-ences where he is applying DNA and RNA high-throughput sequencingand metabolomics combined with classical microbiological methods ofisolation and physiological characterization to obtain a better under-standing of the roles of the most abundant bacteria in the C and Ncycles in forest soils His broader interest is to be able to relate bacterialcommunity structure and functionalities in soils with the changing Cfluxes due to climate change

Rubeacuten Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar studied biology atthe University of Murcia (Spain) and carriedout his research in the Department of Soiland Water Conservation at the CEBAS-CSIC(Spain) working on the application of mo-lecular methods to improve the use of ben-eficial microorganisms in agriculture and hereceived his PhD in applied biology fromthe University of Alicante (Spain) in 2011Afterwards he become a postdoctoral re-searcher in the Laboratory of EnvironmentalMicrobiology of the CAS (Czech Republic) and worked on the study ofthe composition and ecology of soil bacteria by using multiomicsmethods His current research is focused on exploring the bacterialsystems involved in polysaccharide degradation in forest soil and indiscovering new microorganisms and enzymes useful for biomass con-version and for the production of environmentally friendly chemicalsand biofuels His broader interest is to unveil the enormous potentialof microbial strains as natural resources for the different fields ofbiotechnology

Petr Baldrian received his PhD in microbi-ology at the Charles University in PragueCzech Republic based on work describingthe effects of metals on wood-rotting fungiHe later changed his topic to environmentalmicrobiology focusing on enzyme activitiesand the fungal contribution to decomposi-tion of litter and soil organic matter as wellas the characterization of enzymatic systemsof microorganisms and their biotechnologi-cal potential He is now Head of the Labora-tory of Environmental Microbiology of the Institute of Microbiology ofthe Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague Recently he contributed tothe identification of the active fraction of the soil microbiome and theanalysis of the relative contributions of bacteria and fungi to ecosystemprocesses His work is mostly focused on the functioning of forest soilsthe seasonality of microbial processes and the drivers of communityassembly of soil bacteria and fungi

Salvador Lladoacute is a researcher whose maincareer focus is to relate bacterial identity tofunctionality related to the C cycle in tem-perate forest soils During his PhD researchin the Department of Microbiology of theUniversity of Barcelona he worked on char-acterizing bacterial populations involved inthe decomposition of hydrocarbon pollut-ants in contaminated soils After he obtainedhis PhD in December 2013 he moved tothe laboratory of Petr Baldrian in the Labo-ratory of Environmental Microbiology of the Czech Academy of Sci-ences where he is applying DNA and RNA high-throughput sequencingand metabolomics combined with classical microbiological methods ofisolation and physiological characterization to obtain a better under-standing of the roles of the most abundant bacteria in the C and Ncycles in forest soils His broader interest is to be able to relate bacterialcommunity structure and functionalities in soils with the changing Cfluxes due to climate change

Rubeacuten Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar studied biology atthe University of Murcia (Spain) and carriedout his research in the Department of Soiland Water Conservation at the CEBAS-CSIC(Spain) working on the application of mo-lecular methods to improve the use of ben-eficial microorganisms in agriculture and hereceived his PhD in applied biology fromthe University of Alicante (Spain) in 2011Afterwards he become a postdoctoral re-searcher in the Laboratory of EnvironmentalMicrobiology of the CAS (Czech Republic) and worked on the study ofthe composition and ecology of soil bacteria by using multiomicsmethods His current research is focused on exploring the bacterialsystems involved in polysaccharide degradation in forest soil and indiscovering new microorganisms and enzymes useful for biomass con-version and for the production of environmentally friendly chemicalsand biofuels His broader interest is to unveil the enormous potentialof microbial strains as natural resources for the different fields ofbiotechnology

Petr Baldrian received his PhD in microbi-ology at the Charles University in PragueCzech Republic based on work describingthe effects of metals on wood-rotting fungiHe later changed his topic to environmentalmicrobiology focusing on enzyme activitiesand the fungal contribution to decomposi-tion of litter and soil organic matter as wellas the characterization of enzymatic systemsof microorganisms and their biotechnologi-cal potential He is now Head of the Labora-tory of Environmental Microbiology of the Institute of Microbiology ofthe Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague Recently he contributed tothe identification of the active fraction of the soil microbiome and theanalysis of the relative contributions of bacteria and fungi to ecosystemprocesses His work is mostly focused on the functioning of forest soilsthe seasonality of microbial processes and the drivers of communityassembly of soil bacteria and fungi

Salvador Lladoacute is a researcher whose maincareer focus is to relate bacterial identity tofunctionality related to the C cycle in tem-perate forest soils During his PhD researchin the Department of Microbiology of theUniversity of Barcelona he worked on char-acterizing bacterial populations involved inthe decomposition of hydrocarbon pollut-ants in contaminated soils After he obtainedhis PhD in December 2013 he moved tothe laboratory of Petr Baldrian in the Labo-ratory of Environmental Microbiology of the Czech Academy of Sci-ences where he is applying DNA and RNA high-throughput sequencingand metabolomics combined with classical microbiological methods ofisolation and physiological characterization to obtain a better under-standing of the roles of the most abundant bacteria in the C and Ncycles in forest soils His broader interest is to be able to relate bacterialcommunity structure and functionalities in soils with the changing Cfluxes due to climate change

Rubeacuten Loacutepez-Mondeacutejar studied biology atthe University of Murcia (Spain) and carriedout his research in the Department of Soiland Water Conservation at the CEBAS-CSIC(Spain) working on the application of mo-lecular methods to improve the use of ben-eficial microorganisms in agriculture and hereceived his PhD in applied biology fromthe University of Alicante (Spain) in 2011Afterwards he become a postdoctoral re-searcher in the Laboratory of EnvironmentalMicrobiology of the CAS (Czech Republic) and worked on the study ofthe composition and ecology of soil bacteria by using multiomicsmethods His current research is focused on exploring the bacterialsystems involved in polysaccharide degradation in forest soil and indiscovering new microorganisms and enzymes useful for biomass con-version and for the production of environmentally friendly chemicalsand biofuels His broader interest is to unveil the enormous potentialof microbial strains as natural resources for the different fields ofbiotechnology

Petr Baldrian received his PhD in microbi-ology at the Charles University in PragueCzech Republic based on work describingthe effects of metals on wood-rotting fungiHe later changed his topic to environmentalmicrobiology focusing on enzyme activitiesand the fungal contribution to decomposi-tion of litter and soil organic matter as wellas the characterization of enzymatic systemsof microorganisms and their biotechnologi-cal potential He is now Head of the Labora-tory of Environmental Microbiology of the Institute of Microbiology ofthe Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague Recently he contributed tothe identification of the active fraction of the soil microbiome and theanalysis of the relative contributions of bacteria and fungi to ecosystemprocesses His work is mostly focused on the functioning of forest soilsthe seasonality of microbial processes and the drivers of communityassembly of soil bacteria and fungi
