The conservation of biodiversity from the genetic to the community levels is fundamental for
the continual provision of ecosystem services (ES), the benefits that ecosystems provide to …

The long-term effects of different fertilization regimes on the microbial functional potential of
soils involving nutrient cycling remain largely unknown. Here, metagenomic sequencing …

Soil microbial functional genes are linked with carbon (C) as well as nitrogen (N) cycling
processes, and their relative abundances are strongly affected by ecosystem managements …

Virophages are small dsDNA viruses that hijack the machinery of giant viruses during the co-
infection of a protist (ie, microeukaryotic) host and represent an exceptional case of …

Microbial catabolic activity (MCA) defined as the degrading activity of microorganisms
toward various organic compounds for their growth and energy is commonly used to assess …

Coastal blue carbon (C) ecosystems are recognized as efficient natural C sinks and play key
roles in mitigating global climate change. Microbially driven C, nitrogen (N) and sulphur (S) …

Microorganisms inhabiting heavy metal-contaminated soils have evolved specific metabolic
capabilities to survive, which has the potential for effective bioremediation. However, the …

Precipitation changes exert a fundamental effect on the nitrogen (N) cycle in water‐limited
grasslands. Soil microbes are essential drivers of N cycle, and the rates and their stabilities …

Long-term fertilization can result in changes in the nitrogen (N) cycle in maize rhizosphere
soil. However, there have been few reports on the impacts of plant–soil–microbe regulatory …

Glacier retreat is a visible consequence of climate change worldwide. Although taxonomic
change of the soil microbiomes in glacier forefields have been widely documented, how …
