Soils are major reservoirs of plastic particles, an issue that agricultural activities have
aggravated. Thus, devising eco-friendly, safe, and cost-effective strategies for enhanced …

Societal Impact Statement Common mycorrhizal networks (CMN) capture the imagination of
researchers and the public alike and have played a large role in communicating about …

Although positive effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi on plant performance under
drought have been well documented, how AM fungi regulate soil functions and …

Coastal wetland soil organic carbon (CW-SOC) is crucial for wetland ecosystem
conservation and carbon cycling. The accurate prediction of CW-SOC content is significant …

It is known that the dynamics of multiple ecosystem functions (ie, multifunctionality) are
positively associated with microbial diversity and/or biodiversity. However, how the …

Carbon (C) fluxes in semiarid grasslands subject to precipitation variability play a critical role
in the terrestrial C cycle. However, how ecosystem C fluxes respond to variability in …

Abstract Aims The Home-Field Advantage (HFA) suggests that litter decomposes faster in
its" home" habitat (home-field) due to local decomposer communities being more adapted to …

Background Together with the intensification of dry seasons in Neotropical regions,
increasing deforestation is expected to exacerbate species extinctions, something that could …

Buffer strip grasses enhanced microbial biomass by 37%, mainly the fungal responses.
Microbial biomass and diversity distinctly decreased at the lower soil depths. Microbial …

Currently, when the role of biodiversity in maintaining and restoring ecosystems is widely
discussed, rot fungi are far from being integrated into common policies, conservation laws …
