Abstract “Plastisphere”, microbial communities colonizing plastic debris, has sparked global
concern for marine ecosystems. Microbiome inhabiting this novel human-made niche has …

Seasonal variations of environmental factors generally result in considerable changes in
microbiomes, yet we still lack a clear understanding of how microbial communities maintain …

Salinization is a global threat to freshwater habitats that has been intensified by climate
change. Monitoring, assessment and management of salinity is therefore essential. The first …

Estuarine ecosystems are subject to extreme weather and climatic events, particularly global
climate change. To characterize the effects of extreme weather, such as heavy precipitation …

Salinity is one of the great challenges in the biological treatment of high-salinity wastewater.
Unraveling how microbial associations respond to salinity stress and how they affect …

Microbes play an important role in aquatic carbon cycling but we have a limited
understanding of their functional responses to changes in temperature across large …

Afforestation is an effective approach to rehabilitate degraded ecosystems, but often
depletes deep soil moisture. Presently, it is not known how an afforestation‐induced …

Global changes such as seawater intrusion and freshwater resource salinization increase
environmental stress imposed on the aquatic microbiome. A strong predictive understanding …

Bacterioplankton play an important role in the biogeochemical cycling in rivers. The
dynamics of hydrologic conditions in rivers were believed to affect geographic pattern and …

Water microorganisms that have distinct contributions to community dynamics, including
many rare taxa and few abundant taxa, are crucial to the wetland ecosystem functions. In …
