Biochar can be an effective carrier for microbial inoculants because of its favourable
properties promoting microbial life. In this review, we assess the effectiveness of biochar as …

Abstract Machine learning is increasingly important in microbiology where it is used for tasks
such as predicting antibiotic resistance and associating human microbiome features with …

Factors driving microbial community composition and diversity are well established but the
relationship with microbial functioning is poorly understood, especially at large scales. We …

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

Agriculture contributes to a decline in local species diversity and to above-and below-
ground biotic homogenization. Here, we conduct a continental survey using 1185 soil …

Anthropogenic climate change threatens ecosystem functioning. Soil biodiversity is essential
for maintaining the health of terrestrial systems, but how climate change affects the richness …

Soil microbial community is the main indicator having a crucial role in the remediation of
polluted soils. These microbes can alter soil pH, organic matter in soils (SOM), soil physic …

Microplastics (MPs) are a type of emerging contaminants that pose a potential threat to
global terrestrial ecosystems, including agroecosystems. In recent years, MPs in soil and …

We synthesized 20 years of research to explain the interrelated processes that determine
soil and plant responses to biochar. The properties of biochar and its effects within …

Microbial interactions in soil are hidden, as they occur stealthily in a 'dark box'. This greatly
limits our understanding of microbial functions. Here, soil microorganisms were classified …
