Soil microorganisms shape global element cycles in life and death. Living soil
microorganisms are a major engine of terrestrial biogeochemistry, driving the turnover of soil …

In their natural environment, plants are part of a rich ecosystem including numerous and
diverse microorganisms in the soil. It has been long recognized that some of these microbes …

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

Ecosystems across the globe receive elevated inputs of nutrients, but the consequences of
this for soil fungal guilds that mediate key ecosystem functions remain unclear. We find that …

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 …

The immense diversity of soil bacterial communities has stymied efforts to characterize
individual taxa and document their global distributions. We analyzed soils from 237 …

Study of life history strategies may help predict the performance of microorganisms in nature
by organizing the complexity of microbial communities into groups of organisms with similar …

Microorganisms play an important role in soil phosphorus (P) cycling and regulation of P
availability in agroecosystems. However, the responses of the functional and ecological …

The structure and function of the soil microbiome of urban greenspaces remain largely
undetermined. We conducted a global field survey in urban greenspaces and neighboring …

Empirical evidence for the response of soil carbon cycling to the combined effects of
warming, drought and diversity loss is scarce. Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) plays a …
