Bacterial communities living in forest soils contribute to the decomposition of organic matter and the recycling of nutrients in these ecosystems and form one of the most diverse habitats on Earth. Unfortunately, due to difficulty in culturing soil bacteria, the understanding of their ecology is still limited. In the case of temperate deciduous forests, soil microbial communities face large seasonal variations in environmental conditions, such as temperature or moisture. Moreover, the supply of nutrients also differs due to seasonal processes, such as the allocation of photosynthates into soil by the roots of primary producers or the seasonal input of fresh litter. The aim of this study was to reveal how the bacterial community responds to these seasonal processes in the litter and soil of a Quercus petraea forest. Bacterial communities from litter and from the organic and mineral horizons of soil were analyzed during the four seasons of the year by 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing.
