Abstract

Metatranscriptomics combined with microbial community analysis was used to describe the roles of individual microbial taxa in the coniferous forest soil in two contrasting seasons. Both the microbial community composition and the pool of microbial transcripts were found to be highly diverse and subject to seasonal changes, especially in soil.
