The structure and function of the soil microbiome of urban greenspaces remain largely
undetermined. We conducted a global field survey in urban greenspaces and neighboring …

Due to global climate change and increased forest transformation by humans, accounting for
the dynamics of forest ecosystems is becoming a central problem in forestry. We reviewed …

Humans have relied on sourdough starter microbial communities to make leavened bread
for thousands of years, but only a small fraction of global sourdough biodiversity has been …

Microbial interactions occur in habitats much smaller than those generally captured in
homogenized soil cores sampled across a plot or field. This study uses soil aggregates to …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding, a technique for retrieving multispecies DNA
from environmental samples, can detect a diverse array of marine species from filtered …

Human land-use legacies have long-term effects on plant community composition and
ecosystem function. While ancient and historical land use is known to affect biodiversity …

Heavy metals pose significant threats to soil biota, ultimately disrupting soil micro-food web.
However, no studies have yet elucidated the impact of heavy metals on soil micro-food web …

The historical course of evolutionary diversification shapes the current distribution of
biodiversity, but the main forces constraining diversification are still a subject of debate. We …

Diversity loss has been shown to change the soil community; however, little is known about
long-term consequences and underlying mechanisms. Here, we investigated how nematode …

The rhizosphere microbiome is key in survival, development, and stress tolerance in plants.
Salinity, drought, and extreme temperatures are frequent events in the Atacama Desert …
