Communities of soil microorganisms (soil microbiomes) play a major role in biogeochemical
cycles and support of plant growth. Here we focus primarily on the roles that the soil …

Soil plays a significant role in controlling the global carbon (C) cycle. Studies on climate
change mitigation have focused entirely on soil organic carbon (SOC) to increase C …

We assessed the response of soil microbial nitrogen (N) cycling and associated functional
genes to elevated temperature at the global scale. A meta‐analysis of 1,270 observations …

Soil nitrification, an important pathway of nitrogen transformation in ecosystems, produces
soil nitrate that influences net primary productivity, while the by‐product of nitrification …

Background Agricultural food production is at the base of food and fodder, with fertilization
having fundamentally and continuously increased crop yield over the last decades. The …

Atmospheric change encompassing a rising carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentration is one
component of Global Change that affects various ecosystem processes and functions. The …

Healthy soils that contain an active microbiome and food web are critical to sustainably
produce food for a growing global human population. Many studies have focussed on the …

Aim Soil nitrogen (N) cycling is critical to the productivity of terrestrial ecosystems. However,
the impact of global change factors (GCFs) on the microbial mediators of N cycling pathways …

Nitrification is a key microbial process in the nitrogen (N) cycle that converts ammonia to
nitrate. Excessive nitrification, typically occurring in agroecosystems, has negative …

To meet the global demand for food, several factors have been deployed by agriculturists to
supply plants with nitrogen. These factors have been observed to influence the soil …
