Controlled experiment assesses temperature effects on soil organic matter and microbial community in gray forest soil.

Long-term warming reduced alpha diversity and active soil organic matter, increasing microbial respiration.
Temperature significantly influenced microbial community structure, with a 1.5 to 2 times rise in decomposition between 2 and 12°C.
Leaves led to a higher mineralization rate compared to branches, supporting greater species representation.
Dominance of Proteobacteria was noted across all experimental treatments, emphasizing microbial community shifts.

Кравченко et al. (2025) studied this question.
