Carbon emission from soil is not only one of the major sources of greenhouse gases but
also threatens biological diversity, agricultural productivity, and food security. Regulation …

Body size is a key life-history trait that influences community assembly by affecting how
ecological processes operate at the organism level. However, the extent to which the …

Soil amendments are used extensively to remediate soils contaminated with heavy metals.
However, the effects of soil amendments on heavy metal bioavailability, plant yield, and …

Soil microorganisms, which intricately link to ecosystem functions, are pivotal for the
ecological restoration of heavy metal-contaminated soil. Despite the importance of rare and …

Background Rhizodeposits regulate rhizosphere interactions, processes, nutrient and
energy flow, and plant-microbe communication and thus play a vital role in maintaining soil …

Soil microbial community assembly is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of microbial
communities that regulate ecosystem-level functioning. The relative contributions of …

High-throughput sequencing is commonly used to study soil microbial communities.
However, different primers targeting different 16S rRNA hypervariable regions often …

Soil disease‐suppressiveness depends on complex interactions among pathogens, native
microbiota, and physicochemical properties, while these interactions remain understudied …

Fungi underpin almost all terrestrial ecosystem functions, yet our understanding of their
community ecology lags far behind that of other organisms. Here, red paddy soils in …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is involved in numerous biogeochemical processes, and its
molecular weight affects many of these processes through its bioavailability and sorptive …
