Unraveling the succession of microbial communities is a core ecological research topic. Yet
few studies have focused on how long-term secondary succession affects the functional …

Biocrusts are ecosystem engineers providing vital functions and services on the Earth's land
surface, while biocrust ecology in degraded karst landscapes has not yet been well …

Biological carbon pump (BCP) in karst areas has received intensive attention for years due
to their significant contribution to the global missing carbon sink. The stability of …

Increasing aridity is known to influence the diversity and function of soil microbiome.
However, how it affects the microbial co-occurrence network are poorly understood …

Subsurface groundwater‐surface water mixing zones (hyporheic zones) have enhanced
biogeochemical activity, but assembly processes governing subsurface microbiomes remain …

Using dredged sediments as substrate for aquatic plants is a low-cost and ecological
friendly way for in situ aquatic ecological restoration. However, the limited information …

The application of nanoparticles (NPs) to soils, as either fertilizers or fungicides (eg, CuO
NPs), has been proposed to improve the sustainability of agriculture. The observed effects …

The soil microbial communities play an important role in plant health, however, the
relationship between the below-ground microbiome and above-ground plant health remains …

In aquatic ecosystems, both phytoplankton and bacteria play pivotal roles. Based on 16S
rRNA gene sequencing, considerable research focused on phytoplankton colony attached …

Plants modulate the soil microbiota by root exudation assembling a complex rhizosphere
microbiome with organisms spanning different trophic levels. Here, we assessed the …
