Acidobacteria represents an underrepresented soil bacterial phylum whose members are
pervasive and copiously distributed across nearly all ecosystems. Acidobacterial sequences …

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 …

The role of soil biodiversity in regulating multiple ecosystem functions is poorly understood,
limiting our ability to predict how soil biodiversity loss might affect human wellbeing and …

Soil carbon transformation and sequestration have received significant interest in recent
years due to a growing need for quantitating its role in mitigating climate change. Even …

Plant-pathogen interactions are shaped by multiple environmental factors, making it difficult
to predict disease dynamics even in relatively simple agricultural monocultures. Here, we …

Biodiversity is crucial for the provision of ecosystem functions. However, ecosystems are
now exposed to a rapidly growing number of anthropogenic pressures, and it remains …

Plant health is strongly impacted by beneficial and pathogenic plant microbes, which are
themselves structured by resource inputs. Organic fertilizer inputs may thus offer a means of …

Empirical evidence for the response of soil carbon cycling to the combined effects of
warming, drought and diversity loss is scarce. Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) plays a …

Little research has focused on the combined pollution of microplastics (MPs) and heavy
metals in soil, especially the mechanism of their interaction. We conducted a 45-day …

Background The realization that the microbiota-gut-brain axis plays a critical role in health
and disease, including neuropsychiatric disorders, is rapidly advancing. Nurturing a …
