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

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 …

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

Across ecology, and particularly within microbial ecology, there is limited understanding how
the generation and maintenance of diversity. Although recent work has shown that both local …

Soil microbes are considered to be a key determinant of the aboveground plant community.
They are not distributed uniformly in the environment, and their activity, abundance, and …

Soil microbes are the primary drivers of the material cycling of the forest ecosystem, and
understanding how microbial structure and composition change across succession assists …

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

The belowground soil prokaryotic community plays a cardinal role in sustaining the stability
and functions of forest ecosystems. Yet, the nature of how soil prokaryotic diversity co-varies …

The soil microbial community is essential for maintaining ecosystem functioning and is
intimately linked with the plant community. Yet, little is known on how soil microbial …
