The controls on aboveground community composition and diversity have been extensively
studied, but our understanding of the drivers of belowground microbial communities is …

Aboveground–belowground interactions exert critical controls on the composition and
function of terrestrial ecosystems, yet the fundamental relationships between plant diversity …

Soil microbial communities are essential for ecosystem function, but linking community
composition to biogeochemical processes is challenging because of high microbial diversity …

Simultaneously assessing shifts in microbial community composition along landscape and
depth gradients allows us to decouple correlations among environmental variables, thus …

Plant functional diversity and soil microbial community composition are tightly coupled.
Changes in these interactions may influence ecosystem functioning. Links between plant …

Despite recognition of the importance of soil bacteria to terrestrial ecosystem functioning
there is little consensus on the factors regulating belowground biodiversity. Here we present …

Plant diversity drives changes in the soil microbial community which may result in alterations
in ecosystem functions. However, the governing factors between the composition of soil …

Plants are known to influence belowground microbial community structure along their roots,
but the impacts of plant species richness and plant functional group (FG) identity on …

Does plant diversity drive soil microbial diversity in temperate, upland grasslands? Plants
influence microbial activity around their roots by release of carbon and pot studies have …

Land‐use intensification drives changes in microbial communities and the soil functions they
regulate, but the mechanisms underlying these changes are poorly understood as land use …
