Plants are sessile organisms whose survival depends on their strategy to cope with
dynamic, stressful conditions. It is urgent to improve the ability of crops to adapt to recurrent …

Prolonged drought and extreme precipitation can have a significant impact on the activity
and structure of soil microbial communities. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of …

Soil microbial communities play a pivotal role in regulating ecosystem functioning. But they
are increasingly being shaped by human-induced environmental change, including intense …

Phenotypic plasticity may help species to persist in the face of rapid change, yet we lack a
management-friendly framework for incorporating plasticity into conservation practice. Here …

Soil microbes play key roles that support forest ecosystem functioning, while their community
characteristics are strongly determined by tree species identity. However, the majority …

Drought represents a significant stress to microorganisms and is known to reduce microbial
activity and organic matter decomposition in Mediterranean ecosystems. However, we lack a …
