Understanding the ecology of coniferous forests is very important because these
environments represent globally largest carbon sinks. Metatranscriptomics, microbial …

Recent advances in molecular approaches and DNA sequencing have greatly progressed
the field of ecology and allowed for the study of complex communities in unprecedented …

Second‐generation, high‐throughput sequencing methods have greatly improved our
understanding of the ecology of soil microorganisms, yet the short barcodes (< 500 bp) …

Current metabarcoding studies aiming to characterize microbial communities generally rely
on the amplification and sequencing of relatively short DNA regions. For fungi, the internal …

Background Revealing the relationship between plants and fungi is very important in
understanding biodiversity maintenance, community stability, and ecosystem functioning …

The effects of short‐term drought on soil microbial communities remain largely unexplored,
particularly at large scales and under field conditions. We used seven experimental sites …

Boreal forest soils are important global carbon sinks, with significant storage in the organic
topsoil. Decomposition of these stocks requires oxidative enzymes, uniquely produced by …

The ocean is a soup of its resident species' genetic material, cast off in the forms of
metabolic waste, shed skin cells, or damaged tissue. Sampling this environmental DNA …

Fungal communities associated with plants and soil influence plant fitness and ecosystem
functioning. They are frequently studied by metabarcoding approaches targeting the …

Land‐based enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a biogeochemical carbon dioxide removal
(CDR) strategy aiming to accelerate natural geological processes of carbon sequestration …
