Rainforest conversion to rubber plantation may not result in lower soil diversity of bacteria, fungi, and nematodes
Large areas of rainforest in Asia have been converted to plantations, with uncertain effects on soil biodiversity. Using standard metagenetic methods, we compared the soil biota of bacteria, fungi, and nematodes at three rainforest sites in Malaysia with two rubber plantation sites with similar soil...
