Salinity stress is one of the major abiotic stresses threatening sustainable crop production
worldwide. The extent of salinity affected area is expected to cover about 50% of total …

Plants live in association with diverse microorganisms, collectively called the microbiome.
These microbes live either inside (endosphere) or outside (episphere) of plant tissues …

While soil erosion drives land degradation, the impact of erosion on soil microbial
communities and multiple soil functions remains unclear. This hinders our ability to assess …

Plant response to drought stress involves fungi and bacteria that live on and in plants and in
the rhizosphere, yet the stability of these myco-and micro-biomes remains poorly …

Soil-borne pathogens pose a major threat to food production worldwide, particularly under
global change and with growing populations. Yet, we still know very little about how the soil …

Background The relationship between biodiversity and soil microbiome stability remains
poorly understood. Here, we investigated the impacts of bacterial phylogenetic diversity on …

An increase in nitrogen (N) recovery efficiency, also denoted as N use efficiency (NUEr), is
crucial to reconcile food production and environmental health. This study assessed the …

Despite advances in sequencing, lack of standardization makes comparisons across studies
challenging and hampers insights into the structure and function of microbial communities …

Soil microbes make up a significant portion of the genetic diversity and play a critical role in
belowground carbon (C) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Soil microbial diversity and …

The soil microbiome is highly diverse and comprises up to one quarter of Earth's diversity.
Yet, how such a diverse and functionally complex microbiome influences ecosystem …
