The development of high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies has greatly improved
our capacity to identify fungi and unveil their ecological roles across a variety of ecosystems …

Fungi are morphologically, ecologically, metabolically, and phylogenetically diverse. They
are known to produce numerous bioactive molecules, which makes them very useful for …

Aridity, which is increasing worldwide because of climate change, affects the structure and
functioning of dryland ecosystems. Whether aridification leads to gradual (versus abrupt) …

The soil microbiome is highly diverse and comprises up to one quarter of Earth's diversity.
Yet, how such a diverse and functionally complex microbiome influences ecosystem …

Probiotics are increasingly administered to premature infants to prevent necrotizing
enterocolitis and neonatal sepsis. However, their effects on gut microbiome assembly and …

Soils underpin terrestrial ecosystem functions, but they face numerous anthropogenic
pressures. Despite their crucial ecological role, we know little about how soils react to more …

Background Plants live with diverse microbial communities which profoundly affect multiple
facets of host performance, but if and how host development impacts the assembly, functions …

Soil mosses are among the most widely distributed organisms on land. Experiments and
observations suggest that they contribute to terrestrial soil biodiversity and function, yet their …

Background The plant microbiome is an integral part of the host and increasingly recognized
as playing fundamental roles in plant growth and health. Increasing evidence indicates that …
