The ancient phylum Actinobacteria is composed of phylogenetically and physiologically
diverse bacteria that help Earth's ecosystems function. As free-living organisms and …

The prevalence of multidrug‐resistant microbial pathogens due to the continued misuse and
overuse of antibiotics in agriculture and medicine is raising the prospect of a return to the …

Permafrost degradation may induce soil carbon (C) loss, critical for global C cycling, and be
mediated by microbes. Despite larger C stored within the active layer of permafrost regions …

The Earth Microbiome Project (EMP) was launched in August 2010, with the ambitious aim
of constructing a global catalogue of the uncultured microbial diversity of this planet. The …

Soil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE), defined as the ratio of organic C allocated to
growth over organic C taken up, strongly affects soil carbon (C) cycling. Despite the …

This study assessed the fungal community composition and its relationships with properties
of surface soils in the Ny-Ålesund Region (Svalbard, High Arctic). A total of thirteen soil …

Rising temperatures in the Arctic can affect soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition directly
and indirectly, by increasing plant primary production and thus the allocation of plant …

Antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and virulence factor genes (VFGs) constitute a
serious threat to public health, and climate change has been predicted to affect the increase …

Microbial communities in soils are generally considered to be limited by carbon (C), which
could be a crucial control for basic soil functions and responses of microbial heterotrophic …

Wildfire is the dominant disturbance in boreal forests and fire activity is increasing in these
regions. Soil fungal communities are important for plant growth and nutrient cycling postfire …
