Land-use legacies affect the composition and distribution of tree species and their belowground functions in a succession from old-field to mature temperate forest

Forests undergoing ecological succession following abandonment from agricultural use (i.e., old fields) are ubiquitous in temperate regions of the U.S. and Europe. Ecological succession in old fields involves changes in vegetation composition influenced by factors such as land-use history, soil cond...
