Microorganisms have a pivotal role in the functioning of ecosystems. Recent studies have
shown that microbial communities harbour keystone taxa, which drive community …

Correlation and association analyses are one of the most widely used statistical methods in
research fields, including microbiome and integrative multiomics studies. Correlation and …

There is a rich amount of information in co‐occurrence (presence–absence) data that could
be used to understand community assembly. This proposition first envisioned by Forbes …

Permafrost degradation may induce soil carbon (C) loss, critical for global C cycling, and be
mediated by microbes. Despite larger C stored within the active layer of permafrost regions …

Seasonal variations of environmental factors generally result in considerable changes in
microbiomes, yet we still lack a clear understanding of how microbial communities maintain …

Revealing the linkages between community assembly and species coexistence, which is
crucial for the understanding of ecosystem diversity and functioning, is a fundamental but …

Background Microbial-driven decomposition of plant residues is integral to carbon
sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems. Actinobacteria, one of the most widely distributed …

Soil microbial communities play a crucial role in ecosystem functioning, but it is unknown
how co-occurrence networks within these communities respond to disturbances such as …

Our growing awareness of the microbial world's importance and diversity contrasts starkly
with our limited understanding of its fundamental structure. Despite recent advances in DNA …

Lignocellulose, which contains cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, is one of the most
important factors determining the rate and quality of compost decomposition, and the …
