Scientists' call to action: Microbes, planetary health, and the Sustainable Development Goals
Microorganisms, including bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, and protists, are essential to life
on Earth and the functioning of the biosphere. Here, we discuss the key roles of …

Acidification suppresses the natural capacity of soil microbiome to fight pathogenic Fusarium infections
Soil-borne pathogens pose a major threat to food production worldwide, particularly under
global change and with growing populations. Yet, we still know very little about how the soil …

Biotic homogenization, lower soil fungal diversity and fewer rare taxa in arable soils across Europe
Soil fungi are a key constituent of global biodiversity and play a pivotal role in
agroecosystems. How arable farming affects soil fungal biogeography and whether it has a …

Water availability creates global thresholds in multidimensional soil biodiversity and functions
Soils support an immense portion of Earth's biodiversity and maintain multiple ecosystem
functions which are essential for human well-being. Environmental thresholds are known to …

Litter and soil biodiversity jointly drive ecosystem functions
The decomposition of litter and the supply of nutrients into and from the soil are two
fundamental processes through which the above‐and belowground world interact. Microbial …

Bacterial genome size and gene functional diversity negatively correlate with taxonomic diversity along a pH gradient
Bacterial gene repertoires reflect adaptive strategies, contribute to ecosystem functioning
and are limited by genome size. However, gene functional diversity does not necessarily …

Positive associations fuel soil biodiversity and ecological networks worldwide
Microbial interactions are key to maintaining soil biodiversity. However, whether negative or
positive associations govern the soil microbial system at a global scale remains virtually …
