New soil organic matter (SOM) models highlight the role of microorganisms in plant litter
decomposition and storage of microbial-derived carbon (C) molecules. Wetlands store more …

The number and intensity of flood events will likely increase in the future, raising the risk of
flooding stress in terrestrial plants. Understanding flood effects on plant physiology and plant …

Both plants and their associated microbiomes can respond strongly to anthropogenic
environmental changes. These responses can be both ecological (eg a global change …

Research into biotic interactions has been a core theme of ecology for over a century.
However, despite the obvious role that biota play in the global carbon cycle, the effects of …
