The development of high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies has greatly improved
our capacity to identify fungi and unveil their ecological roles across a variety of ecosystems …

Network analysis has been used for many years in ecological research to analyze
organismal associations, for example in food webs, plant-plant or plant-animal interactions …

Understanding the alterations in soil microbial communities in response to climate warming
and their controls over soil carbon (C) processes is crucial for projecting permafrost C …

The extraradical hyphae-associated microbiome of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), the
“hyphosphere microbiome,” harbors a diverse reservoir of microbes. The biological …

Reduction–oxidation (redox) reactions underlie essentially all biogeochemical cycles. Like
most soil properties and processes, redox is spatiotemporally heterogeneous. However …

ABSTRACT In 2014, McMurdie and Holmes published the provocatively titled “Waste not,
want not: why rarefying microbiome data is inadmissible.” The claims of their study have …

Soil fungi play indispensable roles in all ecosystems including the recycling of organic
matter and interactions with plants, both as symbionts and pathogens. Past observations …

Tools for accurate measurements of microbial biomass/abundance are imperative in soil
ecology. This perspective was prompted by a lack of consistency in how the neutral lipid fatty …

Pesticides constitute an integral part of modern agriculture. However, there are still concerns
about their effects on non-target organisms. To address this the European Commission has …

Predicting ecosystem function is critical to assess and mitigate the impacts of climate
change. Quantitative predictions of microbially mediated ecosystem processes are typically …
