Microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, viruses, protists and archaea live as communities
in complex and contiguous environments. They engage in numerous inter-and intra …

Rapid technological advances have led to the production of different types of biological data
and enabled construction of complex networks with various types of interactions between …

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 …

Background Microbial-driven decomposition of plant residues is integral to carbon
sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems. Actinobacteria, one of the most widely distributed …

Due to the persistence of metals in the ecosystem and their threat to all living organisms,
effects of heavy metal on soil microbial communities were widely studied. However, little was …

The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem stability is poorly understood in
microbial communities. Biofilm communities in small bioreactors called microbial electrolysis …

Background Pathogen infections seriously affect host health, and the use of antibiotics
increases the risk of the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria and also increases …

Biochar-based fertilizer amendment can improve soil properties partly due to stimulated
microbial activities and growths. The karst ecosystem is prone to degradation and accounts …

Background Understanding the interaction among different species within a community and
their responses to environmental changes is a central goal in ecology. However, defining …

Discerning network interactions among different species/populations in microbial
communities has evoked substantial interests in recent years, but little information is …
