Simple Summary The innovative concept of environmental DNA has found its foot in aquatic
ecosystems but remains an unexplored area of research concerning terrestrial ecosystems …

Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) input is known to alter plant and microbial α‐diversity, but how N
enrichment influences β‐diversity of plant and microbial communities remains poorly …

A growing body of evidence suggests that microplastics may be colonized with a unique
microbiome, termed 'plastisphere', in aquatic environments. However, the deep mechanisms …

Keystone species of microbial communities play a very important role in community structure
and ecosystem function; however, the effect of long-term nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) …

The long-standing challenge in microbial ecology is to quantify the relative importance of
deterministic and stochastic processes in controlling the community structures through …

Bacterial communities in soil play a key role in carbon (C) and nutrient cycling. Unravelling
how bacterial community assemble and distribute with soil depth is a prerequisite for …

Microbes, similar to plants and animals, exhibit biogeographic patterns. However, in contrast
with the considerable knowledge on the island biogeography of higher organisms, we know …

In the past decade, there was a growing interest in using functional trait approaches to study
soil bacterial communities. However, microbial ecology as lagged behind plant and animal …

The impacts of effluent discharge on receiving waterbodies have been a research hotspot.
Nonetheless, limited information is available on the microbial community assembly patterns …

Biosolids are considered an alternative to chemical fertilizers due to their rich nutrients.
However, long-term biosolids application can lead to heavy metals accumulation, which …
