Microbial respiration is critical for soil carbon balance and ecosystem functioning. Previous
studies suggest that plant diversity influences soil microbial communities and their …

Soil fungi play indispensable roles in all ecosystems including the recycling of organic
matter and interactions with plants, both as symbionts and pathogens. Past observations …

Microbial community plays critical roles in driving soil carbon (C) cycling in terrestrial
ecosystems. However, we lack empirical evidence to demonstrate the role of microbial …

Bacteria and fungi are core microorganisms in diverse ecosystems, and their cross‐kingdom
interactions are considered key determinants of microbiome structure and ecosystem …

Climate change and environmental pollution are major challenges for humanity that affect
terrestrial ecosystems and multiple ecosystem services, possibly leading to irreversible …

Soil organic C pools are influenced by both the input of organic matter and the microbial
degradation of soil C. Soil microorganisms play an integral role in mediating and driving the …

Soil carbon feedbacks to global change are uncertain, and the biological processes that
govern soil organic matter decomposition are not resolved in current ecosystem models …

Studies of the decomposition, transformation and stabilization of soil organic matter (SOM)
have dramatically increased in recent years owing to growing interest in studying the global …

The central carbon (C) metabolic network harvests energy to power the cell and feed
biosynthesis for growth. In pure cultures, bacteria use some but not all of the network's major …

Soil, the living terrestrial skin of the Earth, plays a central role in supporting life and is home
to an unimaginable diversity of microorganisms. This review explores key drivers for …
