Elevational gradients represent model systems for understanding the relationships between
soil microbial communities and environmental factors, but the multiple influences of plant …

Although numerous studies have investigated changes in soil microbial communities across
space, questions about the temporal variability in these communities and how this variability …

Land-use and soil characteristics drive variation in soil community composition, but the
influences of these factors on dispersal and community assembly at regional scale remain …

Soil microbial communities are integrally involved in biogeochemical cycles and their
activities are crucial to the productivity of terrestrial ecosystems. Despite the importance of …

Microbial biogeography is the study of the distribution of microbial diversity on large scales
of space and time. This science aims at understanding biodiversity regulation and its link …

It has been widely accepted that there is a distance‐decay pattern in the soil microbiome.
However, few studies have attempted to interpret the microbial distance‐decay pattern from …

Soil habitats contain vast numbers of microorganisms and harbor a large portion of the
planet's biological diversity. Although high-throughput sequencing technologies continue to …

The legacy impacts of past climates on the current distribution of soil microbial communities
are largely unknown. Here, we use data from more than 1,000 sites from five separate global …

Even though recent studies have clarified the influence and hierarchy of environmental
filters on bacterial community structure, those constraining bacterial populations variations …

The structure of microbial communities was examined as a function of community
composition and the relative abundance of specific microbial groups to examine the effects …
