Rice feeds more than 50% of the world's population, 88% of which is planted in paddy fields.
Paddy-rice rhizosphere is a unique habitat characterized by redox heterogeneity that is …

Microbial communities play critical roles in fixing carbon from the atmosphere and fixing it in
the soils. However, the large‐scale variations and drivers of these microbial communities …

Globally, the soil is the largest active terrestrial carbon pool in the biosphere, composed of
organic and inorganic carbon. The role of plants in carbon sequestration has been widely …

CO 2 fixing microorganisms (CFMs) play a crucial role in carbon (C) sequestration in
vegetation restricted areas, eg, under semiarid and arid conditions. The factors controlling …

Phosphorus (P) is essential for productivity of alpine grassland ecosystems, which are
sensitive to global warming. We tested the hypotheses that (1) mobilized 'calcium‐bound …

Rare biosphere represents the majority of Earth's biodiversity and performs vital ecological
functions, yet little is known about its biogeographical patterns and community assembly …

Cold desert soil microbiomes thrive despite severe moisture and nutrient limitations. In
Eastern Antarctic soils, bacterial primary production is supported by trace gas oxidation and …

How the diverse bacterial communities inhabiting desert soils maintain energy and carbon
needs is much debated. Traditionally, most bacteria are thought to persist by using organic …

Climate change is endangering the soil carbon stock of alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-
Tibetan Plateau (QTP), but the limited comprehension regarding the mechanisms that …

The impact of the long-term uneven precipitation distribution model on the diversity and
