Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However,
compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns and conservation …

Soil photoautotrophic prokaryotes and micro‐eukaryotes–known as soil algae–are, together
with heterotrophic microorganisms, a constitutive part of the microbiome in surface soils …

Soil eukaryotes play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem functions and services, yet the
factors driving their diversity and distribution remain poorly understood. While many studies …

Irrigated and rain-fed rice fields are unique agroecosystems and anthropogenic wetlands
whose main feature is seasonal flooding. Flooded soils are characterized by spatiotemporal …

Plants impact the development of their rhizosphere microbial communities. It is yet unclear to
what extent the root cap and specific root zones contribute to microbial community assembly …

Continuous cropping obstacles caused by the over-cultivation of a single crop trigger soil
degradation, yield reduction and the occurrence of plant disease. However, the relationships …

Metabarcoding approaches are exponentially increasing our understanding of soil
biodiversity, with a major focus on the bacterial part of the microbiome. Part of the soil …

Global change is affecting soil biodiversity and functioning across all terrestrial ecosystems.
Still, much is unknown about how soil biodiversity and function will change in the future in …

Rapid urbanization profoundly affects global biodiversity. How urbanization modifies soil
biodiversity and perturbs nematodes remains limited. Here, we investigated soil nematodes …

Phytopathogenic fungi threaten global food security but the ecological drivers of their global
diversity and biogeography remain unknown. Here, we construct and analyse a global atlas …
