Human civilization relies on estuaries, and many estuarine ecosystem services are provided
by microbial communities. These services include high rates of primary production that …

Salt marshes sit at the terrestrial–aquatic interface of oceans around the world. Unique
features of salt marshes that differentiate them from their upland or offshore counterparts …

Background The assembly of the rhizomicrobiome, ie, the microbiome in the soil adhering to
the root, is influenced by soil conditions. Here, we investigated the core rhizomicrobiome of …

Pteris vittata is an arsenic (As)-hyperaccumulator that may be employed in phytoremediation
of As-contaminated soils. P. vittata-associated microbiome are adapted to elevated As and …

Plant invasion profoundly changes the microbial-driven processes in the ecosystem;
however, the seasonality of soil microbial communities and their assembly under plant …

Coastal blue carbon (C) ecosystems are recognized as efficient natural C sinks and play key
roles in mitigating global climate change. Microbially driven C, nitrogen (N) and sulphur (S) …

Nitrogen is the most limiting factor in crop production. Legumes establish a symbiotic
relationship with rhizobia and enhance nitrogen fixation. We analyzed 1,624 rhizosphere …

It is well accepted that tidal wetland vegetation performs a significant amount of water
filtration for wetlands. However, there is currently little information on how various wetland …

Microbiologically driven ecosystem processes can be profoundly altered by alien plant
invasions. There is limited understanding of the ecological mechanisms orchestrating …

Salt marshes are highly dynamic and biologically diverse ecosystems that serve as natural
habitats for numerous salt-tolerant plants (halophytes). We investigated the bacterial …
