Soil microbial communities are fundamental to maintaining key soil processes associated
with litter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and plant productivity and are thus integral to …

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 …

Aridity, which is increasing worldwide because of climate change, affects the structure and
functioning of dryland ecosystems. Whether aridification leads to gradual (versus abrupt) …

In macroecology, the concept of r‐and K‐strategy has been widely applied, yet, there have
been limited studies on microbial life‐history strategies in temperate grasslands using …

Soils harbor a substantial fraction of the world's biodiversity, contributing to many crucial
ecosystem functions. It is thus essential to identify general macroecological patterns related …

Soil health encompasses a range of biological, chemical, and physical soil properties that
sustain the commercial and ecological value of agroecosystems. Monitoring soil health …

Accurate temperature records for the deep geological past are a vital component of
paleoclimate research. Distributional changes of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol …

Aim There have been numerous studies of forest‐soil microbial biogeography, but an
integrated view of edaphic factors, plant, climatic factors, and geographic distance in …

With ongoing climate change, the probability of crossing environmental thresholds
promoting abrupt changes in ecosystem structure and functioning is higher than ever. In …

Warming is known to reduce soil carbon (C) stocks by promoting microbial respiration, which
is associated with the decomposition of microbial residue carbon (MRC). However, the …
