The plant microbiomes play important role in plant growth promotion and soil fertility for
sustainable agriculture. Plant and soil are valuable natural resource harbouring hotspots of …

Marker gene amplicon sequencing is often preferred over whole genome sequencing for
microbial community characterization, due to its lower cost while still enabling assessment of …

The phyllosphere referred to the total aerial plant surfaces (above-ground portions), as
habitat for microorganisms. Microorganisms establish compositionally complex communities …

The processes associated with litter decomposition are closely related to nutrient circulation
in forest ecosystems. This study attempted to determine the role of nutrients, especially C …

Ephemeral resource patches (ERPs)–short lived resources including dung, carrion,
temporary pools, rotting vegetation, decaying wood, and fungi–are found throughout every …

Microbial life in soil is fueled by dissolved organic matter (DOM) that leaches from the litter
layer. It is well known that decomposer communities adapt to the available litter source, but it …

Microbial communities are important drivers of plant litter decomposition; however, the
mechanisms of microbial co-occurrence networks and their network interaction dynamics in …

Aims Residue returning is a practical agricultural management to combat global warming.
However, the role of the microbial community and the metabolic functions during residue …

The soil microbial community regulates decomposition of plant litter, but little is known about
how the composition of the community responds to litter quality. To evaluate this, we applied …

Litter decomposition plays an important role in the nutrient cycle of terrestrial ecosystems.
The alpine wetland has a high litter accumulation rate and a slow degradation rate, which is …
