It is critical to identify the community assembly patterns (ie, deterministic or stochastic
processes) of soil microbes and the potential driving factors to better predict the …

World‐wide conversion of natural forests to other land uses has profound effects on soil
microbial communities. However, how soil microbial β‐diversity responds to land‐use …

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition and changing precipitation regimes greatly affect the
structure and functions of terrestrial ecosystems. However, their impacts on the diversity and …

Aim There have been numerous studies of forest‐soil microbial biogeography, but an
integrated view of edaphic factors, plant, climatic factors, and geographic distance in …

Changes in species composition across communities, ie, β-diversity, is a central focus of
ecology. Compared to macroorganisms, the β-diversity of soil microbes and its drivers are …

Although the consequences of changes in microbial diversity have received increasing
attention, our understanding of processes that drive spatial variation in microbial diversity …

Microorganisms play key roles in ecosystem processes and biogeochemical cycling,
however, the relationship between soil microbial taxa diversity and their function in natural …

Understanding ecological linkages between above-and below-ground biota is critical for
deepening our knowledge on the maintenance and stability of ecosystem processes …

Productivity gradients in the boreal forest are largely determined by regional-scale changes
in soil conditions, and bacterial communities are likely to respond to these changes. Few …

Microbial biodiversity is crucial for maintaining ecosystem functions. As climate change
progresses at both global and regional scales, there is a need to understand microbial …
