The subgingival crevice harbors diverse microbial communities. Shifts in the composition of
these communities occur with the development of gingivitis and periodontitis, which are …

Conserving biodiversity in the face of ever-increasing human pressure is hampered by our
lack of basic information on species occurrence, distribution, abundance, habitat …

Relationships between biodiversity and multiple ecosystem functions (that is, ecosystem
multifunctionality) are context-dependent. Both plant and soil microbial diversity have been …

Plants are capable of assembling beneficial rhizomicrobiomes through a “cry for help”
mechanism upon pathogen infestation; however, it remains unknown whether we can use …

Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) in croplands by switching from conventional to
conservation management may be hampered by stimulated microbial decomposition under …

Plastics accumulating in the environment, especially microplastics (defined as particles< 5
mm), can lead to a range of problems and potential loss of ecosystem services …

Beneficial interactions between plant roots and rhizosphere microorganisms are pivotal for
plant fitness. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms controlling the feedback between …

Belowground biodiversity supports multiple ecosystem functions and services that humans
rely on. However, there is a dearth of studies exploring the determinants of the biodiversity …

Climate change is altering the frequency and severity of drought events. Recent evidence
indicates that drought may produce legacy effects on soil microbial communities. However, it …

Neutrophil infiltration is a hallmark of periodontitis, a prevalent oral inflammatory condition in
which Th17-driven mucosal inflammation leads to destruction of tooth-supporting bone …
