The rhizosphere is a narrow and dynamic region of plant root-soil interfaces, and it's
considered one of the most intricate and functionally active ecosystems on the Earth, which …

Energy flux in food webs, ie, energy consumption by different trophic groups and describing
their energetic structure, has been proposed as a powerful tool to understand the …

The release of organic compounds from plant roots (rhizodeposits) and their subsequent
utilization by soil microbial communities is a key process linking atmospheric and terrestrial …

Modification of soil food webs by land management may alter the response of ecosystem
processes to climate extremes, but empirical support is limited and the mechanisms involved …

Belowground life relies on plant litter, while its linkage to living roots had long been
understudied, and remains unknown in the tropics. Here, we analysed the response of 30 …

Investigating functional facets of biodiversity across elevation gradients provides the
perspective to deepen understanding of the response of communities to global changes …

Urbanization negatively impacts aboveground biodiversity, such as bird and insect
communities. City parks can reduce these negative impacts by providing important habitat …

Soil biology is a fundamental aspect of soil quality; thus, it is imperative to understand how
agricultural management impacts soil organisms. Among soil biota, microarthropods such as …

Microorganisms are important associates of insect and arthropod species. Insect‐associated
microbes, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, can drastically impact host physiology …

Many traits including trophic niche parameters are attributed to species. However, generalist
species may vary in trophic niches with environments, making species‐based knowledge …
