Plants live in association with diverse microorganisms, collectively called the microbiome.
These microbes live either inside (endosphere) or outside (episphere) of plant tissues …

Microorganisms are critical in terrestrial carbon cycling because their growth, activity and
interactions with the environment largely control the fate of recent plant carbon inputs as well …

Environmental stress is increasing worldwide, yet we lack a clear picture of how stress
disrupts the stability of microbial communities and the ecosystem services they provide …

Microbes regulate the composition and turnover of organic matter. Here we developed a
framework called Energy-Diversity-Trait integrative Analysis to quantify how dissolved …

Microplastics may enter the soil in a wide range of shapes and polymers. However, little is
known about the effects that microplastics of different shapes, polymers, and concentration …

Microplastics (MPs) are a contaminant of increasing concern in the environment. However,
the impacts of MPs on soil ecosystems and biogeochemical processes like nitrogen cycle …

Concerns regarding microplastic contamination have spread from aquatic environments to
terrestrial systems with a growing number of studies have been reported. Notwithstanding …

Clarifying the response of soil microbial communities and their potential functions during
succession is of great significance for understanding the biogeochemical processes and the …

Root-associated microbes play a key role in plant performance and productivity, making
them important players in agroecosystems. So far, very few studies have assessed the …

Microorganisms play an important role in soil phosphorus (P) cycling and regulation of P
availability in agroecosystems. However, the responses of the functional and ecological …
