High‐throughput sequencing (HTS) is increasingly being used for the characterization and
monitoring of biodiversity. If applied in a structured way, across broad geographical scales, it …

Secondary succession has great impact on plant and soil characteristics, however, the
trends of microbial patterns and the influencing factors during grassland succession without …

Plant range expansion is occurring at a rapid pace, largely in response to human-induced
climate warming. Although the movement of plants along latitudinal and altitudinal gradients …

Roots are assumed to play a major role in structuring soil microbial communities, but most
studies exploring the relationships between microbes and plants at the community level …

Plant-soil-microbe interactions are crucial for driving rhizosphere processes that contribute
to metabolite turnover and nutrient cycling. With the increasing frequency and severity of …

Fire alters the structure and composition of above‐and belowground communities with
concurrent shifts in phylogenetic diversity. The inspection of postfire trends in the diversity of …

Anthropogenic environmental changes are accelerating the rate of biodiversity loss on
Earth. Plant diversity loss is predicted to reduce soil microbial diversity primarily due to the …

Soil microbes are essential to the continued productivity of sustainably managed
agroecosystems. In shade coffee plantations, the relationship between soil microbial …

The rhizosphere community represents an “ecological interface” between plant and soil,
providing the plant with a number of advantages. Despite close connection and mutual …

The complex relationship between aboveground and belowground diversity and whether
they act as surrogates for one another remains unresolved. Increasing evidence suggests …
