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 …

Microorganisms have a pivotal role in the functioning of ecosystems. Recent studies have
shown that microbial communities harbour keystone taxa, which drive community …

Unravelling the relationships between network complexity and stability under changing
climate is a challenging topic in theoretical ecology that remains understudied in the field of …

ABSTRACT A large amount of sequencing data is produced in microbial community ecology
studies using the high-throughput sequencing technique, especially amplicon-sequencing …

Plant response to drought stress involves fungi and bacteria that live on and in plants and in
the rhizosphere, yet the stability of these myco-and micro-biomes remains poorly …

Background Freshwater salinization may result in significant changes of microbial
community composition and diversity, with implications for ecosystem processes and …

The soil microbiome is highly diverse and comprises up to one quarter of Earth's diversity.
Yet, how such a diverse and functionally complex microbiome influences ecosystem …

In this concept paper, we propose a new view on soil organic matter (SOM) formation:
microorganisms use most of the organics entering the soil as energy rather than as a source …

Seasonal variations of environmental factors generally result in considerable changes in
microbiomes, yet we still lack a clear understanding of how microbial communities maintain …

The contributions of soil microbial diversity for the multifunctionality of ecosystem functions
remain little understood despite the well-known importance of soil microbial communities for …
