Warming of the earth is considered as the major adverse effect of climate change along with
other abnormalities such as non-availability of water resources, decreased agriculture …

Root-associated microbes can improve plant growth, and they offer the potential to increase
crop resilience to future drought. Although our understanding of the complex feedbacks …

Microorganisms are critical in terrestrial carbon cycling because their growth, activity and
interactions with the environment largely control the fate of recent plant carbon inputs as well …

Salinization is recognized as a threat to soil fertility worldwide. A challenge in understanding
the effects of salinity on soil microbial communities is the fact that it can be difficult to …

Agriculture is responsible for over half of the input of reactive nitrogen (N) to terrestrial
systems; however improving N availability remains the primary management technique to …

Vegetation restoration affects belowground microbial diversity and trait-based life strategies,
as well as soil organic matter (SOM) accumulation. Despite the growing focus on microbial …

A major challenge for advancing our understanding of the functional role of soil microbial
communities is to link changes in their structure and function under climate change. To …

Microorganisms are vital in mediating the earth's biogeochemical cycles; yet, despite our
rapidly increasing ability to explore complex environmental microbial communities, the …

BACKGROUND Microbial communities—microbiomes—are intricately linked to human
health and critical ecosystem services. New technologies allow the rapid characterization of …

The continuous increase of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) in the atmosphere due
to increasing anthropogenic nitrogen input in agriculture has become a global concern. In …
