The concept of one health highlights that human health is not isolated but connected to the
health of animals, plants and environments. In this Review, we demonstrate that soils are a …

Soil microorganisms shape global element cycles in life and death. Living soil
microorganisms are a major engine of terrestrial biogeochemistry, driving the turnover of soil …

In recent years, there has been considerable progress in determining the soil properties that
influence the structure of the soil microbiome. By contrast, the effects of microorganisms on …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to global health. Understanding the
emergence, evolution, and transmission of individual antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is …

Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem
services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure …

Forests influence climate and mitigate global change through the storage of carbon in soils.
In turn, these complex ecosystems face important challenges, including increases in carbon …

We are at the beginning of a genomic revolution in which all known species are planned to
be sequenced. Accessing such data for comparative analyses is crucial in this new age of …

Microbial life represents the majority of Earth's biodiversity. Across disparate disciplines from
medicine to forestry, scientists continue to discover how the microbiome drives essential …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have accelerated microbial threats to human health in
the last decade. Many genes can confer resistance, but evaluating the relative health risks of …

In the Anthropocene, increasing pervasive plastic pollution is creating a new environmental
compartment, the plastisphere. How the plastisphere affects microbial communities and …
