Environmental stress is a major challenge for sustainable food production as it reduces yield
by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) which pose a threat to cell organelles and …

Microbial communities in litter and soil are the functional link through which the tree species
occupying a site may alter rates of soil processes fundamental to nutrient cycling and carbon …

Associations between soil minerals and microbially derived organic matter (often referred to
as mineral‐associated organic matter or MAOM) form a large pool of slowly cycling carbon …

Global change is altering species distributions and thus interactions among organisms.
Organisms live in concert with thousands of other species, some beneficial, some …

The term “Glomalin” was originally used to describe a hypothetical gene product of
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) that was assumed to be a nearly ubiquitous …

Biodiversity is important for supporting ecosystem functioning. To evaluate the factors
contributing to the strength of microbial diversity-function relationships in complex terrestrial …

The supply of nitrogen commonly limits plant production in boreal forests and also affects
species composition and ecosystem functions other than plant growth. These interrelations …

The stability of soil microbial community plays a key role in nutrient cycling, soil organic
carbon reservoirs, and plant productivity, making them crucial players in agroecosystems …

Microbial biofilms are a fascinating subject, due to their significant roles in the environment,
industry, and health. Advances in biochemical and molecular techniques have helped in …

Microbial biodeterioration of timber and woody material in buildings can cause costly
restoration procedures. Here, we focus on Serpula lacrymans (commonly known as dry-rot) …
