Context Understanding the ecology and sustainability of the Inner Mongolian Grassland is
crucial for improving land management policies in the Mongolian Plateau and beyond …

Aim Fresh carbon (C) inputs to the soil can have important consequences for the
decomposition rates of soil organic matter (priming effect), thereby impacting the delicate …

Soil priming is a microbial‐driven process, which determines key soil–climate feedbacks in
response to fresh carbon inputs. Despite its importance, the microbial traits behind this …

Background The ecological consequences of mercury (Hg) pollution—one of the major
pollutants worldwide—on microbial taxonomic and functional attributes remain poorly …

The microbial priming effect—the decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC) induced by
plant inputs—has long been considered an important driver of SOC dynamics, yet we have …

The priming effect is a pivotal mechanism for microbial regulation of soil C cycling; however,
the microbial mechanisms underlying priming effects remain elusive. Here, we combined an …

Background An animal model of DSS-induced UC has been widely used in basic research,
and the dysbiosis of gut microbiome is one of the important pathogenetic mechanisms of …

Loss of plant diversity has an impact on ecosystems worldwide, but we lack a mechanistic
understanding of how this loss may influence below‐ground biota and ecosystem functions …

Loss of biodiversity is considered to be detrimental to ecosystem function but a mechanistic
understanding, and theoretical support, of this process in soil is lacking. Our previous …

Global nitrogen (N) deposition has been influencing the structure of soil microbial
communities, which play fundamental roles in modifying most biogeochemical processes …
