studies using the high-throughput sequencing technique, especially amplicon-sequencing …

While soil erosion drives land degradation, the impact of erosion on soil microbial
communities and multiple soil functions remains unclear. This hinders our ability to assess …

Factors driving microbial community composition and diversity are well established but the
relationship with microbial functioning is poorly understood, especially at large scales. We …

Microbial and viral communities transform the chemistry of Earth's ecosystems, yet the
specific reactions catalyzed by these biological engines are hard to decode due to the …

Plant microbiomes are essential to host health and productivity but the ecological processes
that govern crop microbiome assembly are not fully known. Here we examined bacterial …
