The concept of one health highlights that human health is not isolated but connected to the
health of animals, plants and environments. In this Review, we demonstrate that soils are a …

Human activity is causing a global change in plant environment that includes a significant
increase in the number and intensity of different stress factors. These include combinations …

Globally increasing nitrogen (N) deposition is recognized as an important regulator of soil
microbial communities. However, how N enrichment affects soil microbial diversity, richness …

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 …

Soils are the foundation of all terrestrial ecosystems. However, unlike for plants and animals,
a global assessment of hotspots for soil nature conservation is still lacking. This hampers our …
