The use of lake sedimentary DNA to track the long-term changes in both terrestrial and
aquatic biota is a rapidly advancing field in paleoecological research. Although largely …

Soil-borne microbes are major ecological players in terrestrial environments since they cycle
organic matter, channel nutrients across trophic levels and influence plant growth and …

Beneficial interactions between plant roots and rhizosphere microorganisms are pivotal for
plant fitness. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms controlling the feedback between …

Microplastics provide a unique habitat for microorganisms, forming the plastisphere. Yet the
ecology of the plastisphere, including the microbial composition, functions, assembly …

Microbial communities often undergo intricate compositional changes yet also maintain
stable coexistence of diverse species. The mechanisms underlying long-term coexistence …

Bronchiectasis, a progressive chronic airway disease, is characterized by microbial
colonization and infection. We present an approach to the multi-biome that integrates …

Organic amendments can stimulate soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization and soil
aggregation simultaneously, which can improve C sequestration and soil fertility. However …

Boreal forest soils are important global carbon sinks, with significant storage in the organic
topsoil. Decomposition of these stocks requires oxidative enzymes, uniquely produced by …

Soil microbes are directly involved in soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition, yet the
importance of microbial biodiversity in regulating the temperature sensitivity of SOC …

In this study, the Songgang River (SR) was selected as a typical contaminated urban river in
a highly urbanized city (Shenzhen) that is extensively polluted by heavy metals (HMs). Five …
