Identification of active microbial communities, participating in dead organic matter transformation in forest soils of the Central Europe (deciduous and coniferous mountain forest) and North America (boreal mixed and coniferous forest). Specific probing of microbial community members active in the studied processes will be achieved by stable isotope probing using 13C-compounds. Identification of active community members will enable the comparison of studied ecosystems and the identification of key microbial taxa involved in decomposition of dead plant biomass. (en)
