A reanalysis is a physically consistent set of optimally merged simulated model states and
historical observational data, using data assimilation. High computational costs for modeled …

Soil Security includes dimensions, soil capability, soil condition, soil capital, soil connectivity
and soil codification (the “five C's”). This article provides a short review on how soil mapping …

Soil bacteria and fungi mediate terrestrial biogeochemical cycling, but we know relatively
little about how trophic interactions influence their community composition, diversity, and …

Anthropogenic land use is threatening global biodiversity. As one of the most abundant
animals on Earth, nematodes occupy several key positions in belowground food webs and …

Although widely used in ecology, comparative analyses of diversity and niche properties are
still lacking for microorganisms, especially focusing on niche variations. Quantifying the …

Soil health is intimately intertwined with ecosystem services. Climate change negatively
impacts ecosystem functioning, by altering carbon and nitrogen biogeochemical cycles and …

Fungi of the genus Mortierella occur ubiquitously in soils where they play pivotal roles in
carbon cycling, xenobiont degradation, and promoting plant growth. These important fungi …

Temperature strongly influences microbial community structure and function, in turn
contributing to global carbon cycling that can fuel further warming. Recent studies suggest …

The fungus Rhizopus microsporus harbors a bacterial endosymbiont (Mycetohabitans
rhizoxinica) for the production of the antimitotic toxin rhizoxin. Although rhizoxin is the …

Plant-parasitic nematodes are an important group of pests causing economic losses in
agriculture worldwide. Among the plant-parasitic nematodes, the root-knot (Meloidogyne …
