The phylum Acidobacteria is one of the most widespread and abundant on the planet, yet
remarkably our knowledge of the role of these diverse organisms in the functioning of …

In 1909, H. Joel Conn (25) expressed the hope that methods would soon be at hand by
which the significance of the different bacteria present in any soil could be determined …

Soil warming can directly affect the microbial community, or indirectly affect the microbial
community by affecting soil moisture, nutrient availability, vegetation growth, etc. However …

Shifts in rhizosphere soil microorganisms of dominant plants' response to climate change
profoundly impact mountain soil ecosystem multifunctionality; relatively little is known about …

Members of the phylum Acidobacteria are abundant and ubiquitous across soils. We
performed a large‐scale comparative genome analysis spanning subdivisions 1, 3, 4, 6, 8 …

Understanding environmental and biological influences on the dynamics of microbial
communities has received great attention in microbial ecology. Here, utilizing large time …

Although researchers have begun cataloging the incredible diversity of bacteria found in
soil, we are largely unable to interpret this information in an ecological context, including …

Microbes are difficult to culture. Consequently, the primary source of information about a
fundamental evolutionary topic, life's diversity, is the environmental distribution of gene …

Here we describe a quantitative PCR-based approach to estimating the relative abundances
of major taxonomic groups of bacteria and fungi in soil. Primers were thoroughly tested for …

Aboveground-Belowground Linkages provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive
synthesis of recent advances in our understanding of the roles that interactions between …
