Microorganisms are critical in mediating carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling processes in
soils. Yet, it has long been debated whether the processes underlying biogeochemical …

Soil microbial communities play an essential role in driving multiple functions (ie,
multifunctionality) that are central to the global biogeochemical cycles. Long-term fertilization …

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

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 …

Soil biogeochemical cycles and their interconnections play a critical role in regulating
functions and services of environmental systems. However, the coupling of soil …

In soil, the link between microbial diversity and carbon transformations is challenged by the
concept of functional redundancy. Here, we hypothesized that functional redundancy may …

An increasing number of studies indicate that microbial diversity plays a crucial role in the
mediation of ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) in natural ecosystems. However, this point …

Soil microbial communities control critical ecosystem processes such as decomposition,
nutrient cycling, and soil organic matter formation. Continental scale patterns in the …

Agronomic practises, such as fertilisation and crop rotation, affect soil microbial communities
and functions. However, limited information is available regarding the relative importance of …

The importance of microbial community diversity for soil functioning is still debated. Here, we
used a dilution approach (undiluted, and 10− 4, 10− 8 and 10− 12) and supplementation of …
