The response of microbial communities to the predicted rising temperatures in alpine
regions might be an important part of the ability of these ecosystems to deal with climate …

Understanding weather-related drivers of crop plant-microbiome relationships is important
for food security and food safety in the face of a changing climate. Cucumber and tomato are …

Biocrusts (biological soil crusts) are a living consortium of microbes that form a protective
cover on many dryland soil and rock surfaces and provide important ecological functions in …

The Atacama Desert, the oldest and driest desert on Earth, displays significant rains only
once per decade. To investigate how microbial communities take advantage of these …

Stream microbes that occur in the Mediterranean Basin have been shown to possess
heightened sensitivity to intensified water stress attributed to climate change. Here, we …

Coffee (Coffea arabica) is a globally important crop and its cultivation demands the use of
agrochemicals and pesticides. Recently, plant-associated microorganisms have emerged as …

Wetlands are among the earth's most efficient ecosystems for carbon sequestration, but can
also emit potent greenhouse gases (GHGs) depending on how they are managed. Global …
