Effects of Wildlife Feces on Soil Properties and Microbiota in the Recovery Processes of Damaged Natural Ecosystem.

ABSTRACT: Natural ecosystems are constantly damaged by natural or man-made disasters. The restoration of damaged natural ecosystems is a systematic and intricate process. Wildlife feces can facilitate seed dispersal for plants and also influence soil properties and health. Soil restoration is the basis and prerequisite for the restoration of damaged ecosystems, and wildlife defecation is a key link for plant-animal-soil material turnover and nutrient cycling. Therefore, investigation of the effects of wildlife feces on soil properties and microbiota holds great significance for ecosystem restoration. To better understand the role of wildlife feces in the recovery of damaged natural ecosystems, we continuously monitored the areas destroyed by the 2008 earthquake for 15 years with a special focus on t
