The decomposition of litter and the supply of nutrients into and from the soil are two
fundamental processes through which the above‐and belowground world interact. Microbial …

Premise Bryophytes form a major component of terrestrial plant biomass, structuring
ecological communities in all biomes. Our understanding of the evolutionary history of …

Reactive primary and secondary minerals play a critical role in the transformation and
stabilization of organic matter (OM) in soil, a critical aspect that has been largely overlooked …

Bryophytes, including the lineages of mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, are the second‐
largest photoautotroph group on Earth. Recent work across terrestrial ecosystems has …

Abstract Mosses (Class-Bryopsida) are vital to ecosystem dynamics in numerous biomes,
although their effects on soil processes are poorly understood. The interplay of moss cover …

Greenspaces are important for sustaining healthy urban environments and their human
populations. Yet their capacity to support multiple ecosystem services simultaneously …

Biocrusts are a dominant component in drylands worldwide and play critical roles in
supporting soil microbial diversity and carbon (C) stocks. Nitrogen (N) fertilization associated …

Mosses hold a unique position in plant evolution and are crucial for protecting natural, long‐
term carbon storage systems such as permafrost and bogs. Due to small stature, mosses …

The stacking of tailings results in serious environmental pollution and plant growth difficulty.
However, moss and microorganisms can successfully colonize in tailings to form biological …

Mosses are multifunctional communities that are increasingly recognized as potential and
sustainable resources to restore degraded ecosystems. However, available information is …
