Plastic pollution levels have increased rapidly in recent years, due to the accumulation of
plastic waste, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Both high production and the lack …

The rhizosphere harbors complex microbial communities, whose dynamic associations are
considered critical for plant growth and health but remain poorly understood. We constructed …

Biological nitrogen fixation contributes to the pool of plant-available N in both bulk soil and
the rhizosphere. Here we investigated the co-association and assemblage process of …

Continuous cropping of soybean causes soil degradation and soybean yield decline, but
these effects could be alleviated by crop rotation or the use of long-term continuously …

Despite the essential functions of sedimentary bacterial and fungal communities in
biogeochemical cycling, little is known about their biogeographic patterns and driving …

Recent omics approaches have revealed the prevalent microbial taxa that constitute the
microbiome of various plant species. Across global scales and environmental conditions …

Fungi play a crucial role in the agroecological system; however, little is known about their
large-scale biogeographical patterns and how various ecological processes contribute to …

Strong associations exist between microbial communities and soil functions in natural
ecosystems at large spatial scales; however, it is unclear whether these linkages are …

This work examines biodegradational changes in two types of polymer–biodegradable
(polylactide, PLA) and conventional (polyethylene terephthalate, PET)–which have similar …

Bacteria are critical ecosystem drivers in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. However,
our understanding of the mechanisms generating and maintaining biodiversity on large …
