There has recently been a surge of literature examining microbial invasions into a variety of
environments. These studies often include a component of biological diversity as a major …

Microbially-induced calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation (MICP) is a widely explored
and promising technology for use in various engineering applications. In this review, CaCO3 …

Natural ecosystems show variable resistance to invasion by alien species, and this
resistance can relate to the species diversity in the system. In soil, microorganisms are key …

Although many environments like soils are constantly subjected to invasion by alien
microbes, invaders usually fail to succeed, succumbing to the robust diversity often found in …

Manure application is a common practice that not only adds nutrients and organic matter to
arable soils for crop growth, but also introduces antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), posing a …

Bacteria and archaea play important roles in soil biogeochemical cycles and the health of
terrestrial organisms. They usually coexist in various soil habitats; however, the ecological …

The roles of species richness, resource use, and resource availability are central to many
hypotheses explaining the diversity–invasion phenomenon but are generally not …

There is an increased concern that plants might be more important as a carrier for human
enteric pathogens like E. coli O157: H7 and Salmonella enterica serovars than previously …

To understand the mechanisms by which emergent plants influence the microbial
communities in wetland sediments, we analyzed the response of microbial composition …

Loss of biodiversity is a major threat to the ecosystem processes upon which society
depends. Natural ecosystems differ in their resistance to invasion by alien species, and this …
