Microbial species have different niche breadth, leading to distinct habitat ranges. Specialists
have narrow niche breadth and high habitat specificity in comparison with the generalists …

Understanding microbial network assembly is a promising way to predict potential impacts of
environmental changes on ecosystem functions. Yet, soil microbial network assembly in …

Disentangling the biogeographic patterns of rare and abundant microbes is essential in
order to understand the generation and maintenance of microbial diversity with respect to …

Ecotones between distinct ecosystems have been the focus of many studies as they offer
valuable insights into key drivers of community structure and ecological processes that …

Within a landscape, multiple habitats exist for soil microbial communities. But how these
habitats shape community composition requires an understanding of the way in which …

Soil microorganisms, spanning diverse phylogenetic lineages, form complex ecological
networks wherein various species coexist and contribute to multiple ecosystem services …

Many soils are deep, yet soil below 20 cm remains largely unexplored. Exotic plants can
have shallower roots than native species, so their impact on microorganisms is anticipated …

Soil bacterial communities play fundamental roles in ecosystem functioning and often
display a skewed distribution of abundant and rare taxa. So far, relatively little is known …

Understanding how species interaction and assembly processes structure the abundant and
rare bacterial biospheres in soils is crucial for predicting how biodiversity influences …

Riparian wetlands can be used as “sentinels” of environmental changes and play pivotal
roles in ecological and biogeochemical processes. The bacterial community is an essential …
