“…Here, we focus on responses of soil microbial communities, which can be strongly affected by land-use legacies and restoration practices (e.g. Barber, Chantos-Davidson, Amel Peralta, Sherwood, & Swingley, 2017;Freschet, Östlund, Kichenin, & Wardle, 2014;Hui et al, 2018;Jangind et al, 2011;Ma, De Frenne, Boon, et al, 2019;Xue, Carrillo, Pino, Minasny, & McBratney, 2018) but are poorly studied taxa in these fields (e.g. Brudvig, 2011).…”
