Microbes inhabiting deep soil layers are known to be different from their counterpart in
topsoil yet remain under investigation in terms of their structure, function, and how their …

Soil bacterial communities are essential for ecosystem function, yet their response along
altitudinal gradients in different soil strata remains unclear. Understanding bacterial …

Soil bacteria and fungi play key roles in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, yet our
understanding of their responses to climate change lags significantly behind that of other …

Soil microbes are involved in the fundamental processes that underpin an ecosystem's
function. However, little is known about the microbial communities that inhabit deep soil …

Microorganisms play key roles in ecosystem processes and biogeochemical cycling,
however, the relationship between soil microbial taxa diversity and their function in natural …

With ongoing climate change, aridity is increasing worldwide, affecting biodiversity and
ecosystem function in drylands. However, how the depth-profile microbial community …

Microorganisms constitute the primary ecological group in desertified soil, driving soil
biogeochemical cycles. Understanding their structure and diversity is crucial for the …

Microorganisms exist throughout the soil profile and those microorganisms living in sub-
surface horizons likely play key roles in nutrient cycling and soil formation. However, the …

Background Soil microbiomes play an important role in the services and functioning of
terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known of their vertical responses to restoration …

Bacterial, archaeal, and eukaryota diversity in mountainous areas varies along elevational
gradients, but details remain unclear. Here, we use a next-generation sequencing method …
