Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity, functions, succession, and
biogeography is a central, but poorly understood, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial …

The importance of microbial communities (MCs) cannot be overstated. MCs underpin the
biogeochemical cycles of the earth's soil, oceans and the atmosphere, and perform …

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

Unravelling the relationships between network complexity and stability under changing
climate is a challenging topic in theoretical ecology that remains understudied in the field of …

Unraveling the drivers controlling community assembly is a central issue in ecology.
Although it is generally accepted that selection, dispersal, diversification and drift are major …

Terrestrial plants can affect the growth and health of adjacent plants via interspecific
interaction. Here, we studied the mechanism by which plant root exudates affect the …

Understanding the community assembly mechanisms controlling biodiversity patterns is a
central issue in ecology. Although it is generally accepted that both deterministic and …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) refers to DNA that can be extracted from environmental
samples (such as soil, water, feces, or air) without the prior isolation of any target organism …

Disease suppressive soils typically develop after a disease outbreak due to the subsequent
assembly of protective microbiota in the rhizosphere. The role of the plant immune system in …

Climate warming is increasingly leading to marked changes in plant and animal biodiversity,
but it remains unclear how temperatures affect microbial biodiversity, particularly in …
