Viruses are extremely abundant and ubiquitous in soil, and significantly contribute to various
terrestrial ecosystem processes such as biogeochemical nutrient cycling, microbiome …

As abundant members of microbial communities, viruses impact microbial mortality, carbon
and nutrient cycling, and food web dynamics. Although most of our information about viral …

Viruses, with an estimated abundance of 1031 on Earth, are an important component of soil
ecosystems. As obligate parasites that entirely depend on hosts for reproduction and …

The soil microbiome is recognized as an essential component of healthy soils. Viruses are
also diverse and abundant in soils, but their roles in soil systems remain unclear. Here we …

Viruses are crucial in shaping soil microbial functions and ecosystems. However, studies on
soil viromes have been limited in both spatial scale and biome coverage. Here we present a …

Over the past couple decades, there has been intense exploration of the soil microbiome
using modern sequencing and bioinformatics approaches. These studies have revealed a …

Soil viruses are highly abundant and have important roles in the regulation of host dynamics
and soil ecology. Climate change is resulting in unprecedented changes to soil ecosystems …

Soil microbes play pivotal roles in global carbon cycling; however, the fundamental
interactions between microbes and their infecting viruses remain unclear. This is …

Viruses are key members of Earth's microbiomes, shaping microbial community composition
and metabolism. Here, we describe recent advances in'soil viromics', that is, virus-focused …

Soil viruses remain understudied when compared to virus found in aquatic ecosystems.
Here, we investigate the ecological patterns of soil viral communities across various land …
