Advances in next-generation sequencing have enabled the widespread measurement of
microbiome composition across systems and over the course of microbiome assembly …

Vegetation composition shifts, and in particular, shrub expansion across the Arctic tundra
are some of the most important and widely observed responses of high-latitude ecosystems …

Soil-borne pathogens pose a major threat to food production worldwide, particularly under
global change and with growing populations. Yet, we still know very little about how the soil …

Despite advances in sequencing, lack of standardization makes comparisons across studies
challenging and hampers insights into the structure and function of microbial communities …

Soil microbes make up a significant portion of the genetic diversity and play a critical role in
belowground carbon (C) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Soil microbial diversity and …

Biodiversity on the Earth is changing at an unprecedented rate due to a variety of global
change factors (GCFs). However, the effects of GCFs on microbial diversity is unclear …

The contributions of soil microbial diversity for the multifunctionality of ecosystem functions
remain little understood despite the well-known importance of soil microbial communities for …

Background The rhizosphere microbiome, which is shaped by host genotypes, root
exudates, and plant domestication, is crucial for sustaining agricultural plant growth. Despite …

Human genetic variation affects the gut microbiota through a complex combination of
environmental and host factors. Here we characterize genetic variations associated with …

Microbial genes encode the majority of the functional repertoire of life on earth. However,
despite increasing efforts in metagenomic sequencing of various habitats,–, little is known …
