The potential promise of the microbiome to ameliorate a wide range of societal and
ecological challenges, from disease prevention and treatment to the restoration of entire …

Agriculture contributes to a decline in local species diversity and to above-and below-
ground biotic homogenization. Here, we conduct a continental survey using 1185 soil …

In macroecology, the concept of r‐and K‐strategy has been widely applied, yet, there have
been limited studies on microbial life‐history strategies in temperate grasslands using …

Early-life human gut microbiome is a pivotal driver of gut homeostasis and infant health.
However, the viral component (known as “virome”) remains mostly unexplored. Here, we …

The application of plant beneficial microorganisms is widely accepted as an efficient
alternative to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. It was shown that annually, mycorrhizal …

Organic manure is widely applied in agricultural systems to improve soil nutrient cycling and
other physicochemical properties. However, the biotic and abiotic mechanisms that drive C …

Decreased precipitation significantly suppressed the nutrient provisioning, microbial growth
efficiency, LOM decomposition, and thus, the averaging multifunctionality by 42.6%(p< …

Microorganisms of the soil‐root continuum play key roles in ecosystem function. The Loess
Plateau is well known for its severe soil erosion and thick loess worldwide, where mean …

Even if fermented in the same qu-room, Daqu will form various microecologies. A gradual
differentiation of microbial population niches was observed within different qu-layers …

Microbes dominate terrestrial ecosystems via their great species diversity and vital
ecosystem functions, such as biogeochemical cycling and mycorrhizal symbiosis. Fungi and …
