The soil microbiome governs biogeochemical cycling of macronutrients, micronutrients and
other elements vital for the growth of plants and animal life. Understanding and predicting …

Mountains are pivotal to maintaining habitat heterogeneity, global biodiversity, ecosystem
functions and services to humans. They have provided classic model natural systems for …

In macroecology, the concept of r‐and K‐strategy has been widely applied, yet, there have
been limited studies on microbial life‐history strategies in temperate grasslands using …

Study of life history strategies may help predict the performance of microorganisms in nature
by organizing the complexity of microbial communities into groups of organisms with similar …

Communities of soil microorganisms (soil microbiomes) play a major role in biogeochemical
cycles and support of plant growth. Here we focus primarily on the roles that the soil …

Soil microorganisms control the fate of soil organic carbon. Warming may accelerate their
activities putting large carbon stocks at risk of decomposition. Existing knowledge about …

Nutrient amendment diminished bacterial functional diversity, consolidating carbon flow
through fewer bacterial taxa. Here, we show strong differences in the bacterial taxa …

Disentangling the biogeographic patterns of rare and abundant microbes is essential in
order to understand the generation and maintenance of microbial diversity with respect to …

Unravelling biosphere feedback mechanisms is crucial for predicting the impacts of global
warming. Soil priming, an effect of fresh plant-derived carbon (C) on native soil organic …

Soil carbon feedbacks to global change are uncertain, and the biological processes that
govern soil organic matter decomposition are not resolved in current ecosystem models …
