Microbial interactions in soil are hidden, as they occur stealthily in a 'dark box'. This greatly
limits our understanding of microbial functions. Here, soil microorganisms were classified …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays an essential role in mediating community structure and
metabolic activities of belowground biota. Unraveling the evolution of belowground …

Soil is home to a multitude of microorganisms from all three domains of life. These
organisms and their interactions are crucial in driving the cycling of soil carbon. One key …

Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) describes the partitioning of carbon (C) between
respiration and growth, and this defines the soil-atmosphere C balance. Despite its …

Rhizosphere microbiota play an important role in regulating soil physical and chemical
properties and improving crop production performance. This study analyzed the relationship …

Climate change is an urgent environmental issue with wide‐ranging impacts on ecosystems
and society. Microbes are instrumental in maintaining the balance between carbon (C) …

Microbial functional diversity in litter and soil has been hypothesized to affect the rate of
decomposition of organic matter and other soil ecosystem functions. However, there are no …

Soybean cultivation in tropical regions relies on symbioses with nitrogen-fixing
Bradyrhizobium and plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPBs), reducing environmental …

Biodiversity loss and climate change are 2 of the most alarming threats to ecosystem
functioning and stability. These factors are, however, typically investigated separately …

In a recent work we studied an artificial bacterial community where resistant bacteria
assisted sensitive bacteria in surviving in the presence of antagonistic bacteria. Typically …
