Soil microbial communities and their interactions play a critical role in shaping the functions
of ecosystems at regional and continental scales. In recent years, co-occurrence network …

There has been little study on the biogeographical patterns of microbial co-occurrence,
especially in agricultural soils. Here we investigated the biogeographical patterns and major …

Though being fundamental to global diversity distribution, little is known about the
geographic pattern of soil microorganisms across different biotas on a large scale. Here, we …

Soil salinization is one of the most severe environmental problems restricting biodiversity
maintenance and ecosystem functioning in a coastal wetland. Recent studies have well …

Understanding how microbial processes develop and change in alpine meadow soils is key
to global initiatives toward environmental sustainability and local land management. Yet …

Microbial communities play important roles in soil health, contributing to processes such as
the turnover of organic matter and nutrient cycling. As soil edaphic properties such as …

Considering the extensive functional redundancy in microbial communities and great
difficulty in elucidating it based on taxonomic structure, studies on the biogeography of soil …

The most accepted theories in soil ecology suggest that broad (eg respiration) and
specialized (eg denitrification) functions are affected differently by resource availability and …

Despite progress in understanding microbial biogeography of surface soils, few studies
have investigated depth-dependent distributions of terrestrial microorganisms in subsoils …

Exploring large environmental datasets generated by high-throughput DNA sequencing
technologies requires new analytical approaches to move beyond the basic inventory …
