Community-level physiological profiling (CLPP) analyses from very diverse environments
are frequently used with the aim of characterizing the metabolic versatility of whole …

The metabolic diversity of microbial communities is fundamental for the multiple soil
functions mediated by microorganisms. Community level physiological profiles (CLPPs) …

The application of organic matter to agricultural land is an efficient way to maintain soil eco-
sustainability through the mediation of the soil-dwelling microbiome. Despite their important …

Comparative studies, such as the analysis of physicochemical properties and the
microbiological composition of soil, are burdened with many problems resulting from the …

In temperate ecosystems, acidic forest soils are among the most nutrient-poor terrestrial
environments. In this context, the long-term differentiation of the forest soils into horizons …

Carbon is a key factor governing microbial growth in soil, and functional aspects related to
substrate utilisation can provide important information beyond that afforded by taxonomic …

We investigated the relationship between taxonomy and functioning of soil bacterial
communities in soils from a Mediterranean holm oak forest using a high-throughput DNA …

Although researchers have begun cataloging the incredible diversity of bacteria found in
soil, we are largely unable to interpret this information in an ecological context, including …

Temperate coniferous forests sustain the highest levels of biomass of all terrestrial
ecosystems and belong to the major carbon sinks on Earth. However, the community …

The planetary importance of microbial function requires urgently that our knowledge and our
exploitation ability is extended, therefore every occasion of bioprospecting is welcome. In …
