Biotic homogenisation is defined as decreasing dissimilarity among ecological assemblages
sampled within a given spatial area over time. Biotic differentiation, in turn, is defined as …

Soil is one of the most biodiverse terrestrial habitats. Yet, we lack an integrative conceptual
framework for understanding the patterns and mechanisms driving soil biodiversity. One of …

Background Understanding the genetic and environmental factors that structure plant
microbiomes is necessary for leveraging these interactions to address critical needs in …

Biodiversity is important for supporting ecosystem functioning. To evaluate the factors
contributing to the strength of microbial diversity-function relationships in complex terrestrial …

Background Co-occurrence networks—ecological associations between sampled
populations of microbial communities inferred from taxonomic composition data obtained …

Background Despite their importance as a reservoir of biodiversity, the factors sha** soil

Aim Quantify direct and indirect relationships between soil microbial community properties
(potential basal respiration, microbial biomass) and abiotic factors (soil, climate) in three …

Land use change has long-term effects on the structure of soil microbial communities, but
the specific community assembly processes underlying these effects have not been …

Soil microorganisms play an important role in the N cycle; however, these communities are
sensitive to soil disturbances. Understanding the influence of anthropogenic activities on soil …
