Soil viruses are highly abundant and have important roles in the regulation of host dynamics
and soil ecology. Climate change is resulting in unprecedented changes to soil ecosystems …

Viruses are key members of Earth's microbiomes, shaping microbial community composition
and metabolism. Here, we describe recent advances in'soil viromics', that is, virus-focused …

The increasing frequency of extreme weather events highlights the need to understand how
soil microbiomes respond to such disturbances. Here, metagenomics was used to …

As central members of soil trophic networks, viruses have the potential to drive substantial
microbial mortality and nutrient turnover. Pinpointing viral contributions to terrestrial …

Viruses shape microbial communities, food web dynamics, and carbon and nutrient cycling
in diverse ecosystems. However, little is known about the patterns and drivers of viral …

Bacteriophages are abundant in soils. However, the majority are uncharacterized, and their
hosts are unknown. Here, we apply high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi …

Metagenomics is unearthing the previously hidden world of soil viruses. Many soil viral
sequences in metagenomes contain putative auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) that are not …

The soil microbiome is recognized as an essential component of healthy soils. Viruses are
also diverse and abundant in soils, but their roles in soil systems remain unclear. Here we …

Bacterial viruses are the most abundant biological entities in soil ecosystems. Owing to the
advent of metagenomics and viromics approaches, an ever‐increasing diversity of virus …

Viruses are abundant and diverse members of soil communities, but their influences on soil
biogeochemical cycling are poorly understood. To assess the potential for viruses to …
