Recovery of soil microbiota in naturally regenerating <i>Acacia mangium</i> ecosystems
plantations can promote the recovery of soil microbial communities and their associated functions, including those relevant for climate change mitigation. Furthermore, our study highlights the effectiveness of eDNA and high-throughput sequencing in monitoring early ecosystem shifts in soil microbial communities, which could be used to guide reforestation efforts towards desired ecosystem services.
