High‐throughput sequencing (HTS) is a powerful tool that enables the simultaneous
detection and potential identification of any organisms present in a sample. The growing …

Metabarcoding approaches are exponentially increasing our understanding of soil
biodiversity, with a major focus on the bacterial part of the microbiome. Part of the soil …

Trophic rewilding is increasingly applied in restoration efforts, with the aim of reintroducing
the ecological functions provided by large‐bodied mammals and thereby promote self …

DNA barcoding approaches have greatly increased our understanding of biodiversity on the
planet, and metabarcoding is widely used for classifying members of the phylum Nematoda …

Intensified arable farming results in fewer functional groups of soil biota with decreased
biodiversity. Organic farming with slurry fertilization and long crop rotation cycles favors soil …

Nematodes are numerous in soils and play a crucial role in soil food-webs. DNA
metabarcoding offers a time-effective alternative to morphology-based assessments of …

Nematodes are keystone actors of soil, freshwater and marine ecosystems, but the
complexity of morphological identification has limited broad-scale monitoring of nematode …

Enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) levels via improved fertilization strategies can promote
soil health and support sustainable crop production. While bacteria and fungi play a key role …

While recent advances in next-generation sequencing technologies have accelerated
research in microbial ecology, the application of high throughput approaches to study the …

Nematodes mediate soil ecosystem functions together with other soil biota and are
employed as effective ecological indicators. Among nematodes, plant-parasitic nematodes …
