Background Soil microbes play pivotal roles in global carbon cycling, however the fundamental interactions between microbes and their infecting viruses remain unclear. This …
Rapidly thawing permafrost harbors∼ 30 to 50% of global soil carbon, and the fate of this carbon remains unknown. Microorganisms will play a central role in its fate, and their viruses …
Historically neglected by microbial ecologists, soil viruses are now thought to be critical to global biogeochemical cycles. However, our understanding of their global distribution …
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 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 …

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 outnumber every other biological entity on Earth, and soil viruses are particularly diverse compared to other habitats. However, we have limited understanding of soil viruses …
The study of soil viruses, though not new, has languished relative to the study of marine viruses. This is particularly due to challenges associated with separating virions from …
