Microbial interactions in soil are hidden, as they occur stealthily in a 'dark box'. This greatly
limits our understanding of microbial functions. Here, soil microorganisms were classified …

Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) affects the fate and storage of carbon in terrestrial
ecosystems, but its global importance remains uncertain. Accurately modeling and …

Expanding and intensifying agriculture has led to a loss of soil carbon. As agroecosystems
cover over 40% of Earth's land surface, they must be part of the solution put in action to …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays an essential role in mediating community structure and
metabolic activities of belowground biota. Unraveling the evolution of belowground …

Soil is home to a multitude of microorganisms from all three domains of life. These
organisms and their interactions are crucial in driving the cycling of soil carbon. One key …

Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) describes the partitioning of carbon (C) between
respiration and growth, and this defines the soil-atmosphere C balance. Despite its …

Climate change is causing an intensification of soil drying and rewetting events, altering
microbial functioning and potentially destabilizing soil organic carbon. After rewetting …

Background Microbial contributions to soil organic carbon formation have received
increasing attention, and microbial carbon use efficiency is positively correlated with soil …

Rhizosphere microbiota play an important role in regulating soil physical and chemical
properties and improving crop production performance. This study analyzed the relationship …

Climate change is an urgent environmental issue with wide‐ranging impacts on ecosystems
and society. Microbes are instrumental in maintaining the balance between carbon (C) …
