Soil is the source and sink of microplastics (MPs), which is more polluted than water and air.
In this paper, the pollution levels of MPs in the agriculture, roadside, urban and landfill soils …

Trait-based approaches are being increasingly adopted to understand species' ecological
strategies and how organisms influence ecosystem function. Trait-based research on soil …

Cultivation of the bioenergy and bioproduct crop Miscanthus x giganteus (Miscanthus) on
marginal lands (including those that are anthropogenically damaged) is attractive due to the …

Heavy metals pose significant threats to soil biota, ultimately disrupting soil micro-food web.
However, no studies have yet elucidated the impact of heavy metals on soil micro-food web …

Soil is home to a multitude of microorganisms from all three domains of life. These
organisms and their interactions are crucial in driving the cycling of soil carbon. One key …

The extensive use of aluminum (Al) poses an escalating ecological risk to aquatic
ecosystems. The epiphytic biofilm on submerged plant leaves plays a crucial role in the …

Crop production is strongly impacted by soil nitrogen supply, which is regulated by soil micro-
food webs consisting of nematodes, protists, fungi and bacteria. However, responses of soil …

Fauna is highly abundant and diverse in soils worldwide, but surprisingly little is known
about how it affects soil organic matter stabilization. Here, we review how the ecological …

Soil disturbances caused by large animals impact soil biodiversity and potentially alter forest
ecosystem functioning and productivity. However, most studies have focused on the effects …

The process of carbon (C) sequestration plays an important role in soil fertility and
productivity, yet most studies have focused on the individual role of the bacterial community …
